Big air meets big sound this fall as The Expendables take center stage at the Inaugural Tahoe Games Mountain Sports Festival, September 27–28, at the Lake Tahoe Amphitheatre at Caesars Republic.

Presented by Visit Lake Tahoe and On Course Events, this free, all-ages festival celebrates the bold spirit of Tahoe’s mountain culture — with two days of live music, immersive outdoor activities, vendor experiences, and one of the region’s largest professional Big Air Mountain Bike Competitions.

The Expendables bring their signature fusion of reggae, rock, and surf-punk energy to the amphitheatre’s stage, creating the perfect vibe to match the weekend’s action-packed atmosphere. Known for hits like “Bowl for Two,” “Sacrifice,” and “Down Down Down,” The Expendables have long been fan favorites on the festival circuit, and now they’re bringing their stoke to the Inaugural Tahoe Games.

Additional live music entertainment throughout the festival includes Jakobs Castle, the high energy project from Jakob Nowell (son of Sublime frontman Bradley Nowell), along with performances by 880 South, The Happys, Crowd Surf League, and Lake Tahoe DJ.

The new project of Sublime frontman Bradley Nowell’s only son, Jakob Nowell, Jakobs Castle is the sound of two worlds colliding in perfect union – the insouciant sounds of California’s past with the fresh mystery of internet underground culture. 

Jakobs Castle brings the perfect blend of energy and edge to launch Tahoe Games into motion. Their sound is the vibe — bold, bright, and built for mountain festivals like this one.

Local nonprofit, The Smaine Fund, is among the event partners, helping spotlight mentorship and safety in mountain sports. Current sponsors include Visit Lake Tahoe, Barton Center for Orthopedics & Wellness, STIO, and more to be announced.
