The lineup for Area 51 features world-class professional lucha libre wrestling, including matches between Mini Abismo Negro (former two-time Mexican National Mini-Estrella Champion and a former AAA World Mini-Estrella Champion, the only wrestler to hold both titles), Taya Valkyrie (AEW superstar and four-time AAA Reina de Reinas champion), Magno “The Man Mountain” Rudo, Periquito, Piñatita, and mini superstar wrestler and one of Mexico’s most beloved fighters Microman.

LVV promises to deliver incendiary burlesque goddesses, twisty contortionists, and death-defying aerialists, including Emma Vauxdevil (fire eater, sword swallower, tattooed burlesque goddess), Làszlò Major (transcendent dancer, aerialist, and boylesque artist from New York’s Company XIV’s summer striptease show “Boylesque Bullfight” and Dita Von Teese’s Glamonatrix Tour), the stunning and highly in-demand burlesque artist Skylar, Viva La Glam (San Francisco-based performer specializing in unique and dangerous acts, such as an aerial dance on chains, with metal grinding in the air, to create a magnificent display of shooting sparks as she spins at death-defying heights), and Marie Devilreux (Brazilian bombshell and international burlesque, fire, aerial showgirl).
