Wheely big thrills
Monster Jam thunders into Singapore’s National Stadium on 23 August, bringing 12,000-pound trucks, gravity-defying flips, and full-throttle fun for the whole family. Expect dirt-spraying stunts, epic races, and big names like Grave Digger and Megalodon tearing it up in high-octane style. It’s loud, wild, and absolutely brilliant for kids (and their adrenaline-loving grown-ups). If you like your entertainment big, bold and a bit bonkers, this one’s for you.
