Monster Jam comes to South Africa in 2019

For decades, Monster Jam has been one of the biggest and most successful touring family shows in the United States. 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. It combines high-octane, spontaneous entertainment with the ultimate off-road motorsport competition. The show will feature six of the world’s most famous Monster Jam trucks, including Monster Jam World Finals champions Grave Digger and Max D.

Monster Jam is a huge day out for all the family kicking off with the world-famous Pit Party. Before the show, fans have the opportunity to meet the Monster Jam superstars, get their autographs, and take pictures with the trucks.

The larger-than-life spectacular takes place on specially-designed tracks that optimise mobility so the most recognisable trucks in the world can go head to head in wheelies, doughnuts, racing, and freestyle competitions. Standing at four metres tall and four metres wide, the custom designed Monster Jam trucks weigh up to 4,500kg and are powered by super-charged engines delivering more than 1,500 horsepower. With tyres 1.7m tall, a Monster Jam truck is capable of reaching speeds of up to 110km per hour. The trucks can also jump as far as 43 metres in length.

“We are thrilled to be bringing Monster Jam to South Africa for the first time,” says Showtime Management’s Tony Feldman. “We are revved up and ready to go with three huge shows in South Africa. This is as big as it gets, and we are confident that crowds will not be disappointed.”

Globally, Monster Jam events entertain more than four million fans a year at more at than 350 performances in 150 cities on five continents different locations. The South African 2019 dates are the first in the Southern Hemisphere as this country joins first-time markets Saudi Arabia, Buenos Aries, Lyon, Beijing, Singapore, and Brazil.
