Prepare for destruction: Hot Wheels Monster Trucks Live heads to Long Beach for first time

Share

Hot Wheels Monster Trucks Live, the nationwide spectacle for lovers of destruction and, of course, trucks, is coming to Long Beach for the first time. Come September 27 and 28, they’ll be taking over the Long Beach Arena with jumping contests, laser shows, and, as always, car crushing. Lotsa cars. Lotsa crushing.

The appearance will mark the tour’s newly minted Glow’n’Fire aesthetic—expect plenty of lasers, flames, and growing trucks—following the success of its glow-centric tour last year.

What’s the perks of ticket options outside of GA?

If you purchase a VIP ticket or access to the pre-show, you’ll get up close and personal with some of the show’s staples vehicles—Bone Shaker, Tiger Shark, Gunkster… But the only way to meet the drivers, like Taylor Holman, who drives the fairly new Skelesaurus, is through the VIP access. It also includes a backstage tour.
