The event will take place at the DHL Stadium on 22 April, followed by Johannesburg and Durban over subsequent weekends.
Apart from the main attraction, this year’s festivities will also feature breathtaking Freestyle Motocross (FMX) exhibitions, promising unbeatable full-throttle fun for the entire family.
The popularity of Monster Jam in South Africa has resulted in Pit Party tickets being sold out across all three cities in record time.
The line-up of eight Monster Jam trucks features multiple fan favourites such as the legendary Grave Digger; Max-D, the futuristic SUV celebrating 20 years of Monster Jam action, the mighty Megalodon; the raging bull, El Toro Loco; the Monster Mutt Dalmatian remembered for its massive floppy ears; the ever-popular Zombie and regular Monster Jam World Finals competitor, Blue Thunder.
Making its South African debut, Earth Shaker pays homage to the trucks, machines and construction crews that build Monster Jam tracks all over the world.
Monster Jam drivers are trained, world-class male and female athletes who have mastered not only the physical strength and mental stamina needed to compete, but the vital dexterity to control 4 500-kg machines capable of doing backflips, vertical two-wheel skills and racing at speeds up to 110kph to produce jaw-dropping, live motor sports action seen around the world.
Standing four metres tall and four metres wide, the custom-designed Monster Jam trucks are powered by supercharged engines delivering more than 1 500 horsepower.
With tyres 1.7 metres tall, a Monster Jam truck can jump as far as 43 metres in length.
South African fans will witness heated rivalries, high-flying stunts and fierce head-to-head battles for the Event Championship. Engineered to perfection, Monster Jam trucks push all limits in freestyle, skills and racing competitions.
