A MUCH-LOVED family experience that’s one of the world’s largest truck shows will be returning to the UK in just months.
Hot Wheels Monster Trucks Live is returning to the UK in early 2027 – and this time with a new feature.
The show will tour four cities across the UK – Glasgow, London, Manchester and Birmingham.
Yes, Hot Wheels Monster Trucks Live won the Pollstar Family Show of the Year award this year, in the prestigious awards by Pollstar magazine —which reports on global live entertainment and concert industry
Fans can expect “huge trucks, jaw-dropping stunts and an arena transformed by explosions of colour”, according to Family Entertainment Live and Mattel.
The show, called Colour Bash, will have paint splattered trucks that perform different stunts including wheelies, jumps, donuts and even crashes.

The show begins with one of the trucks, Skelesaurus, taking all the colour away from Monster Truck Island.
Then Rhinomite, Mega Wrex, Tiger Shark, Bone Shaker and Bigfoot have to fight to win back the island and all its colour.
The big twist this year though is that they will be joined by a new truck ally, who will be revealed this autumn.
There will be FMX bikes flying across the arena and a fire-breathing robot as well.

“It’s a brand-new way to experience the action live, and we can’t wait to bring it to families in the UK in 2027.”
