Kiwi Hot Wheels fans start getting excited, for the first time, the Monster Trucks Live Glow Party is coming to New Zealand, bringing its larger-than-life arena show to Dunedin, Wellington and Auckland.

Based on the world’s best-selling toy brand, this high-octane show features life-sized Hot Wheels Monster Trucks including Bigfoot®, Bone Shaker™, Tiger Shark™ and Race Ace™, performing fiery wheelies, donuts and car-crushing stunts.

It will be at Dunedin’s Forsyth Barr Stadium on 20 September, Sky Stadium in Wellington on 27 September and Eden Park on 4 October.

 The Hot Wheels Monster Trucks feature in the show.

Jo Mitchell, General Manager of Marketing at The Warehouse, the tour’s presenting partner, says Hot Wheels has a huge following in New Zealand. 

“One Hot Wheels toy revs off our shelves every 20 seconds, and we sell more Hot Wheels than any other retailer in New Zealand,” said Mitchell.

“We’re excited to give our customers the chance to see the show and get their hands on VIP backstage experiences. A few special towns might even see the trucks and drivers outside our stores — so stay tuned to The Warehouse social media channels.”

There are plenty of action at the stadium show.

For the most dedicated fans, the ultimate Hot Wheels Monster Trucks experience starts before the show. The all-new Pre-Show Party offers access to the arena floor to see the trucks up close and meet the drivers for autographs. 

Fans can also upgrade to the Legends Backstage VIP Experience for a guided behind-the-scenes tour, exclusive merchandise, and VIP entry to the Pre-Show Party. Passes are limited.

Show tickets go on general sale on Wednesday, 2 April, and start from $45, with special family ticket pricing available in all categories.
