Kargola performed at the Balloon and Wine Fest in the past, said Melody Brunsting, spokesperson for the festival.

“At first glance, you might wonder what a Freestyle Motocross demo is doing at the Temecula Balloon and Wine Festival,” she said in an emailed announcement. “To explain in simple terms, Temecula… is home to some of the top and most innovative daredevil riders in the world.”

The motocross team will share the stage with other acts, such as Third Eye Blind. For more information, .

Temecula residents Brian Deegan and Larry Linkogle founded Metal Mulisha in 1999.

Metal Mulisha members Jimmy Fitzpatrick, Todd Potter, Wes Agee, Jeff Griffin, Destin Cantrell and Jeremy “Twitch” Stenberg are slated to hit the stage during the performance, which will be filmed for an upcoming video.
