On Saturday, April 6th, the world's best B-Boys and B-Girls, including 2024 Olympians will convene in Seattle to compete in the Red Bull Lords of the Floor break dancing competition. The legendary competition marks a full circle moment as it returns after more than two decades after its inception at WAMU theater.

Original Red Bull Lords of the Floor emcee, Jo Koy will return to his B-boy roots to host the event, and Common will perform as a special musical guest. “As a former B-boy, it is a true honor for me to host Red Bull Lords of the Floor, an event that has been so influential to the culture,” shares Jo Koy. “While I look forward to reuniting with some of the crews who competed in the original Red Bull Lords of the Floor, what makes this reprise exciting is the international aspect of it. Red Bull will be flying in some of the best breakers in the world to compete, and we will all get to witness new history in the making.”

On the Red Bull Lords of the Floor stage, notable breaking crews from the nineties and the inaugural event in 2001 – including Massive Monkees, Skill Methodz, and Style Elements — will collide with the best international talent in a series of 2v2 battles to claim a new accolade within the breaking scene.

Judged by a panel of elite B-boys and B-girls, 16 teams of dancers will battle their way to the top, showcasing their foundation, originality, and musicality to vie for the title, respect, and international recognition as the art form enters a new era.

Tickets can be purchased here.
