Each Sprite Liquid Mix stop is slated to be a seven-hour event "catering to a cross-cultural, ethnically diverse teen and young-adult audience," and will be an "environment where fans, artists and athletes participate in the event's free expression and free exchange of music, culture, sport and activity," according to a press release.
In addition to musical performances, the event will feature a BMX-biker exhibition, half-court basketball match-ups, a video-game lounge that will showcase the PlayStation 2 gaming system, DJs, graffiti artists, and strength and endurance contests.
