Hot Wheels Monster Trucks Live is on the road again for its 2026 U.S. tour, and it’s shaping up to be a smash hit. The tour kicked off June 6 with the show’s first-ever U.S. outdoor stadium stop at Albertsons Stadium in Boise, Idaho, drawing a sold-out crowd and marking the largest single-day event in the production’s history. 

The spectacle brought together more than 30,000 fans and 15 iconic Hot Wheels Monster Trucks — including Mega Wrex, Tiger Shark, Bone Shaker, Skelesaurus, and the legendary Bigfoot — for a night of racing, high-octane action, and over-the-top stunts. A freestyle motocross team flew through the air, showing off all their best tricks, while the transforming, fire-breathing robots Arcticgon and Megasauraus turned up the heat.

To celebrate the historic event, former Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty returned to the blue turf behind the wheel of Smashton Jeanty, an all-new Bronco-inspired truck, created just for Boise State fans. 

“The Blue has long been one of the most iconic venues in sports, and bringing Hot Wheels Monster Trucks Live there was an opportunity unlike any other,” said Ken Hudgens, CEO of Family Entertainment Live. “From the moment the gates opened, the atmosphere was electric. The fans, the trucks, the stunts, and The Blue all came together to create a truly historic night for our tour.”

Throughout the rest of 2026, the Hot Wheels Monster Trucks Live Tour will bring the smashing, crashing, and clashing to 36 cities across the U.S., including Las Vegas, Chicago, Houston, San Francisco, Philadelphia, New Orleans, and Denver, before coming to a close in Fort Worth, Texas, on Nov. 15.
