Just months before breakdancing is put on a world stage during the 2024 Olympics, Red Bull will host Lords of the Floor.

The event is scheduled to take place on April 6, 2024, and will feature breaking crews from across the globe participating in a historic 2v2 breaking competition at Seattle’s WAMU Theater. Red Bull Lords of the Floor will be hosted by stand-up comic and actor, Jo Koy.  

“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 comedian and actor 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.” 

Breaking crews from the inaugural Lords of the Floor event, which took place back in 2001, will be on hand including Massive Monkees, Skill Methodz, and Style Elements. Per a press release, they will "collide with the best international talent in a series of 2v2 battles to claim a new accolade within the breaking scene." The competition will be judged by a panel of b-boys and b-girls, with 16 teams battling for the top spot.

“Red Bull Lords of the Floor completely changed the game. It helped open new doors for us breakers coming up in the early 2000s,” says Alexander “El Niño” Diaz, a world-class b-boy and returning competitor who won the 2002 edition with his crew, Floor Bratz. “In re-creating Red Bull Lords of the Floor, Red Bull will pay homage to the original event and breaking’s heritage through original hip-hop tracks, which will really allow us to connect with the music.”

Red Bull Lords of the Floor will take place at Seattle’s WAMU theater on Saturday, April 6th, and tickets are now available for purchase. Visit RedBullLordsOfTheFloor.com for more info.
