For decades, Monster Jam has been one of the biggest and most successful touring family shows in the United States.  Monster Jam is one of the most exciting forms of family entertainment, featuring four-meter tall, five-ton beasts. The stars of the show are the biggest performers on four wheels - the Monster Jam trucks. These amazing machines bring fans to their feet while racing and ripping up a custom-designed track full of obstacles to soar over – or smash through. 

World-class drivers compete in both Monster Jam truck racing and freestyle competitions in one of the only sports where male and female world-class drivers, some generational rivals, are equals competing for the same championship on the same track. Combining high-octane, spontaneous entertainment with the ultimate off-road motorsport competition, the jaw-dropping displays will leave families on the edge of their seats.

With the best truck line-up ever assembled for an international performance, the show will feature six of the world’s most famous Monster Jam trucks, including Monster Jam World Finals® champions Grave Digger® and Max DTM, providing an unforgettable experience for the entire family. You won't forget the first time you see a Monster Jam truck defy gravity!
