Rock music, motocross stunts and death-defying circus acts are all coming together in Cardiff this spring as Circus Extreme: Rock It Out arrives in the city with its brand-new production.
Running from 15th – 31st May at Cardiff City Stadium> grounds, Rock It Out promises to be Circus Extreme’s biggest and most ambitious show yet, blending traditional circus thrills with the atmosphere of a live rock concert.
Years in the making, the production combines modern circus artistry, extreme stunts, classic clowning and a full live rock band, creating a fast-paced spectacle designed to push live entertainment to another level.
Among the headline acts are the Catwall Acrobats, whose trampoline wall routine launches performers sky-high through flips and mid-air somersaults, while the Danguir Troupe attempts the UK’s first ever double somersault on the terrifying rotating Double Wheel of Death.
Fans of high-speed action can also expect the EXTREME Freestyle Motocross Team, flying through the Big Top performing backflips, cliffhangers and Superman grabs, alongside the legendary Globe of Death, where stunt riders race around a steel sphere at incredible speeds under extreme G-forces.
Elsewhere in the show, aerial performer Skywalker Marlon takes to the trapeze high above the crowd, while Clown Katito brings moments of comedy and chaos between the adrenaline-fuelled performances.
The production also features:
- The Didyk Troupe and their Double Ukrainian Swing
- British circus performer Laura Miller, combining fire, water and aerial artistry
- Daredevil Lucky Hell, performing aerial sword swallowing suspended in mid-air
- South American stunt rider Paulinho, bringing high-speed street bike tricks and burnouts into the tent
For Cardiff audiences, there is also a special local connection this year.
20-year-old Welsh performer Tya Isabell Dock-Pawlowska, who was born at Cardiff University Hospital, will be returning home as part of the touring cast. Following in her mother’s footsteps, Tya is continuing a long family circus tradition while performing in one of the world’s biggest live entertainment productions.
The UK has been chosen as the exclusive launch destination for Rock It Out, with Cardiff one of the major stops on the tour.
With rock music blasting, motorbikes flying and performers risking it all under the Big Top, this is far from a traditional circus.
Whether you’re a music lover, adrenaline junkie, theatre enthusiast, or circus fan, ROCK IT OUT is the must‑see event of 2026. Housed in Europe’s Largest Touring Big Top, the fully climate‑controlled venue offers comfortable, theatre‑style seating — ensuring every guest enjoys the spectacle in total comfort.
