Hot Wheels Monster Truck tour returns to Glasgow's OVO in 'immersive' experience

If you're a monster truck fan in Glasgow, then you'll be in luck this spring as Hot Wheels Monster Trucks Live returns to the city with a fully immersive experience.

The Hot Wheels Monster Trucks Live Tour is kicking off its international return to live events with new trucks in an upcoming five-stop tour across Europe, including two dates in Glasgow's OVO Hydro.

We're especially lucky being the only Scottish date out of the tour.

The new show will feature the all-new Mega Wrex™ truck towers with its 12-foot dinosaur design, bolstering 1800 horsepower to crush the competition.

Fans will also be introduced to the new Bigfoot Midwest Madness™, a collaboration between Hot Wheels and Bigfoot® as well as Race Ace™, bearing the iconic Hot Wheels flame design.

The tour continues to bring audiences the only opportunity to see real-life versions of the famous Hot Wheels monster truck toys including returning favorites - Bone Shaker™, Tiger Shark, V8 Bomber™, and Demo Derby.

Event performances will also feature a special appearance from the car-eating, fire-breathing transforming robot Megasaurus, and the high-flyers of Hot Wheels Monster Trucks Live, Freestyle Motocross!

“We hope that parents and kids will continue to be blown away by Hot Wheels Monster Trucks Live,” said Julie Freeland, Senior Director of Location Based Entertainment at Mattel. “The franchise, which has been so successful at igniting the challenger spirit in kids, has allowed families to share their love of Hot Wheels and we can’t wait to bring the tour to new European cities this spring!”
