Monster trucks are roaring back with a huge UK tour — and the East Midlands is on the list

Expect high‑octane monster truck action and daredevil motorbike stunts

Monster trucks are set to roar back into the East Midlands as RA Monster Events unveils its nationwide 2026 Monster Truck Motorfest tour — promising bigger stunts, more action and a full‑on family day out.

After the success of previous years, the 2026 tour will visit more than 40 locations across the UK, including three in the East Midlands, bringing high‑octane monster truck action, daredevil motorbike stunts and live entertainment to towns and cities nationwide.

The touring Motorfest experience has been designed with all ages in mind, combining arena thrills with a festival atmosphere.

Peter Richardson, Managing Director of RA Monster Events, said 2026 will be the company’s biggest year yet.

“We’ve expanded Motorfest to reach more people across the UK,” he said.

“With bigger shows, more attractions and something for the whole family, it’s a full day out people won’t forget — from jaw‑dropping stunts to live music and great food.”

Each event will feature monster trucks pulling off gravity‑defying jumps, alongside freestyle motocross displays and live performances throughout the day.

Away from the main arena, visitors can expect fairground rides, street food stalls and family‑friendly entertainment, adding to the all‑day festival feel.
