Monster Jam™ Roars back into Principality Stadium with the UK Debut of Sparkle Smash™

The return of Monster Jam™ to Principality Stadium is set to wow Cardiff with high-flying action and family entertainment. One of the world’s most iconic live motorsport events will once again transform Wales’ national stadium into an adrenaline-fueled arena, complete with roaring engines, jaw dropping stunts and unforgettable memories for fans of all ages.

This year brings extra excitement as Cardiff hosts a UK first, the debut of Sparkle Smash™. A six-ton unicorn truck that’s said to be known for its ‘bold attitude, known for its fierce competitive spirit and larger-than-life personality.’

Anna Gallant, Feld Entertainment’s Regional Marketing Senior Director said:

“We are beyond excited to be back in Cardiff, in the Principality Stadium with Monster Jam. We are thrilled to bring more excitement and new Monster Jam trucks, that we know all the Wales fans are going to love. I am excited particularly for the first ever appearance of Sparkles Smash, as I know it will cause a BIG emotion in all the little (and no so little) girls!”

Monster Jam’s™ 12,000-pound trucks will deliver unmatched live spectacles, with world class drivers competing in racing, skills and the fan favourite freestyle, which sees the trucks perform tricks, flip, soar and push the limits of physics.

WRU’s Chief Operating Officer, Gavin Marshall said:

“We are delighted to welcome Monster Jam™ back to Principality Stadium for what promises to be an amazing show. Transforming the venue into a motorsports arena is a big operation but it’s always a highlight of our events calendar. Becoming the venue to debut Sparkle Smash™ to the UK adds an extra sense of excitement to the event. We can’t wait to deliver another unforgettable experience for families and motorsport fans across the country.”

Fans will also play a key role at Principality Stadium, with live voting giving the audience the power to score the drivers in real time.

The action kicks off early with the Monster Jam Pit Party™ on the stadium floor, allowing fans the chance to get up close and personal with the iconic trucks, meet the drivers and snap photos. It’s the ultimate pre-show experience and a rare opportunity to discover how these legendary machines are engineered.
