Monster trucks rev up for a return to stadium

-

THE most unexpected, unscripted, and unforgetta­ble motorsport­s experience for families and fans is back in Cardiff for the first time in five years.

Monster Jam will be coming to the Welsh capital this summer and will see world champion athletes and their 12,000-pound monster trucks tear up the dirt in wide-open competitio­ns of speed and skill.

The event will be coming to Cardiff’s Principali­ty Stadium for one day only on Saturday, July 6, starting at 3pm.

The fun begins before the event at the Monster Jam Pit Party, from 10am to 1pm, where you can get up close to the massive trucks, enjoy family-friendly activities, meet your favourite drivers, get autographs, and take pictures.

The fun-filled experience is the only place to get an insider’s look and find out more about how the mega trucks are built to stand up to the competitio­n.

The stadium, which is only one of two locations Monster Jam will visit in the UK this year, will be full of 500 truckloads of dirt, and the world’s best drivers will show off massive stunts, big air, backflips, donuts, crazy skills, and all-out racing, in fierce head-to-head battles for the Event Championsh­ip.

The all-star lineup will feature multiple fan favourites including Matt Cody in Grave Digger, Blake Granger in Max D, and Charlie Pauken, who returns behind the wheel of Megalodon.

The event also sees the return of the Marvel Monster Jam trucks, including Thor driven by Myranda Cozad and Bari Musawwir returning behind the wheel of Black Panther.

Tickets are on general sale from 9am today from www.monsterjam. co.uk and Ticketmast­er.
