Monster trucks are returning to the UK: where to see the show with the new rhinoceros truck.

Big monster truck shows are returning to the UK

According to The Sun: The UK is preparing for a grand monster truck show that will feature 10 performances in five cities in 2026. Guests can expect new tricks and the world premiere of a rhinoceros-themed truck.

The new truck Rhinomite will showcase tricks never seen before in the show.

Among other trucks to be seen in London, Manchester, Liverpool, Leeds, and Birmingham, will be Mega Wrex, Tiger Shark, HW 5-Alarm, Bone Shaker, Big Foot, and Skelesaurus.

The show will also feature FMX riders performing aerial tricks—think of no-handed jumps at great heights.

Fans will also encounter a fire-breathing dragon robot that crushes cars.

Hot Wheels fans will be able to attend a pre-show party that will take place before each main performance. During the party, fans will have the opportunity to get up close with the monster trucks and receive autographs from drivers and performers.

For giant fans, there will be a VIP Backstage Experience that includes an exclusive behind-the-scenes tour.

Previous shows lasted about two and a half hours and included freestyle spins, jumps, and crash tests. Children will also have the chance to participate in free Hot Wheels toy giveaways.

Officially named Glow-N-Fire, the show promises to return 'bigger and hotter than ever—with even more fire, lights, and extreme action,' according to the Hot Wheels Monster Trucks Live website.

The show will also include all the usual elements: pyrotechnics and vibrant lighting.

Last year, the show won the Pollstar Family Show of the Year award. It will kick off on January 3 and 4, 2026, at the Manchester AO Arena.

Following that, performances will take place at The O2 Arena in London on January 10 and 11, 2026, as well as in Leeds at the First Direct Bank Arena on March 28 and 29, 2026. On April 4 and 5, the show will take place in Liverpool at the M&S Bank Arena.

The show will also occur at the Birmingham Utilita Arena on April 11 and 12. Tickets for adults start from £41, while for children, they start from £32.

Julia Freeland from Mattel said: “We are incredibly proud to continue expanding the award-winning Hot Wheels Monster Trucks Live show with Family Entertainment Live. With the debut of Rhinomite, we have brought even more excitement to the program that we can't wait for fans to see. The Glow-N-Fire tour is an unforgettable experience filled with action and energy that only Hot Wheels Monster Trucks can offer.”

Ken Hudgens, CEO of Family Entertainment Live, said: “With the new truck Rhinomite and all the new tricks that will be performed, we are excited to entertain fans of all ages.”

Hot Wheels also recently announced a major new show that will be held in the UK this year.
