If you're a lover of all things extreme, you may want to attend this year's X Games. Kanye West has officially been announced as a headliner for the 2014 X Games Festival.

The 13-act bill will also feature performances by The Flaming Lips, Pretty Lights, Gary Clark, Jr., Bad Religion, Wavves, and Mac Miller, among others.

The four-day festival will highlight the best of the best in various BMX, skateboarding, Moto X, and RallyCross events.

Scott Guglielmino, Sr. Vice president of programming and X Games for ESPN had this to say of the event:

"The best athletes competing at the highest levels remain the core of X Games. But we're incredibly excited about being able to create a full-scale festival around that, which celebrates some of the other elements of the X Games lifestyle - music, friends, family, food and fun."

This year's X Games festival will be held June 5th-8th at Austin, Texas' Circuit of the Americas. Tickets go on sale this Friday (Jan. 24) at 1pm ET.
