The Millennium Stadium is set to host its fourth consecutive Monster Jam show on Saturday, 9 October, 2010. Monster Jam, one of the biggest entertainment events in the US, running around 250 shows and selling 2.3 million tickets annually, brings the world's favourite monster trucks rip-roaring back to the home of Welsh rugby performing the craziest stunts for one day only.

World-class drivers will be revving up the motorised beasts generating 1,500 to 2,000 horsepower to compete for the top honours, after the popular 'Monster Jam Pit Party' first fills the arena with the unique ticket holders getting their favourite driver autographs and photos with the wild racing machines.

The monster trucks compete in two different competitions - side-by-side racing and freestyle. Side-by-side is the traditional format - the first truck, with the least penalties, across the line is the winner, Tom Meents is the man to beat here. The freestyle competition allows drivers a limited amount of time on the open floor to show off their skills and outrageous tricks, jumping and crushing as many obstacles as possible. Damon Bradshaw specialises in outrageous tricks and will be keen to impress.

The monster trucks themselves are sure to impress too.  Each is around 11 feet tall and 12 feet wide. They are unique custom-designed machines and weigh a minimum of 9,000 pounds.  The tyres alone are 66-inches tall!  Monster trucks are built for short, high-powered bursts of speed; these beasts generate 1,500 to 2,000 horsepower and can hit speeds of up to 100 miles per hour. Monster trucks can jump a distance of 110 to 115 feet (a distance greater than 14 cars side by side) and up to 25 feet in the air.

Cardiff has become a second home for Monster Jam and this show promises to be the best yet.  Don’t miss out on seeing our newly crowned World Champions do their thing.  Monster Jam is one of the biggest and most popular entertainment events in the US selling 2.3 million tickets annually, now it’s Cardiff’s turn to hear the roar!
