Monster Jam Is Returning To New Jersey With Trucks, Tricks And Talent

NEWARK, NJ — Monster Jam is returning to New Jersey.

The Prudential Center in Newark will play host to a fleet of monster trucks performing jaw-dropping stunts from Friday, Aug. 8 to Sunday, Aug. 10 (see schedule below). Learn more or purchase tickets here.

Here’s what to expect, event organizers say:

“Get ready for non-stop excitement as Newark roars to life with gravity-defying stunts, heart-pounding races, and plenty of big air! The world’s best drivers tear up on the dirt as they battle for the Event Championship in four competitions: Racing, Skills, Donuts, and everyone’s favorite, Freestyle, where Monster Jam trucks defy the laws of physics and do the impossible. Fans will be right in the middle of the action, helping to crown the Event Champion as they get to score the drivers in real time based on their skills, stunts, and saves.

Monster truck fans might also be interested in two pre-event activities, organizers said:

• PIT PARTY – “The day of fun starts at the Monster Jam Pit Party on Saturday and Sunday, where families can get up close and personal with these massive trucks, snap a selfie, meet their favorite drivers, and collect autographs. It’s the perfect way to start a day of adrenaline-charged fun, packed with family-friendly activities.”
• TRACKSIDE EXPERIENCE – “Arrive early and get revved up with Monster Jam Trackside, happening about an hour before the event. It’s packed with driver interviews, pit crew sneak peeks, and epic giveaways that’ll get everyone pumped up before the action begins. Then, watch as the opening ceremonies set the stage for non-stop Monster Jam madness!”

The truck lineup is expected to include fan favorites such as Grave Digger, El Toro Loco, Sparkle Smash, Black Pearl, Over Bored and Wild Side.

Meanwhile, the newest addition to the show, Bailey Circuit – a collaboration with Ringling’s –will be making its Newark debut with 2019 Monster Jam All-Star Challenge Best Trick Champion Brianna Mahon behind the wheel.
