Hot Wheels Monster Trucks Live Adds Glow-N-Fire, An Extra Abu Dhabi Show This September

When Abu Dhabi likes something, it doesn’t just like it but demands more. And that’s exactly what’s happened with Hot Wheels Monster Trucks Live: Glow-N-Fire. By popular demand (and probably a few thousand “yalla, bring more trucks!” messages), the roaring, fire-spitting spectacle has added an extra show to its Etihad Arena run this September.

Abu Dhabi Gets An Extra Dose of Monster Madness This September

Mark your calendars for Sunday, September 28, now comes with an extra 11 am show, perfect for families who like to start the day with a bit of noise, a lot of smoke, and trucks the size of small villas. This comes on top of the already packed schedule that had Yas Island buzzing like a supercharged engine. And if you’ve never sat in the stands for one of these monster truck shows, erase any image of polite clapping from your mind. This is pure, unfiltered chaos,  the kind where the lights burn bright, the air smells faintly of petrol, and the engines roar so hard you feel the vibration deep in your bones. The Glow-N-Fire edition is turning up the heat, literally – with pyrotechnics, LED displays, and enough stunts to make your jaw drop.

Meet The Monster Legends From Hot Wheels

Fans can expect a roll call of the biggest names in the monster truck world. Mega Wrex will stomp in with prehistoric power, Tiger Shark will bring its toothy attitude, and Bone Shaker will continue to be the rock-and-roll rebel of the track. Of course, Bigfoot, the king of monster trucks,  is rolling in to celebrate its 50th birthday. (Half a century of car-crushing glory. Respect.)

But the new kid in town is Skelesaurus, part skeleton, part dinosaur and all chaos. And if you think that’s wild, wait until you see Articgon, the fire-breathing, car-eating robot that’s part show, part sci-fi fever dream.

Pre-Show Thrills Before The Main Event

Here’s the thing, you don’t just watch Hot Wheels Monster Trucks Live, you can get right into the action. The Power Smashers Pre-Show Experience lets you walk the track, snap photos with the massive trucks, and chat with the drivers like you’ve known them for years. Want to go even deeper? The VIP Backstage Tour gives you an exclusive behind-the-scenes look, but those tickets are limited, so don’t do the “I’ll book tomorrow” routine.
