Monster Jam 2025 at the Vibrant Arena at the MARK -- May 10 and 11.
Saturday, May 10, and Sunday, May 11
Vibrant Arena at the MARK, 1201 River Drive, Moline IL
An eagerly awaited springtime touring event rides, jumps, and spins into the Vibrant Arena at the MARK on May 10 and 11 as the Moline venue hosts Monster Jam 2025, the amphitheater event that brings a new level of high-flying, four-wheel excitement to the entire family with racing, two-wheel skills, donuts, and freestyle competitions.
Each Monster Jam truck is approximately 10.5 feet tall, 12.5 feet wide, 17 feet long, and weighs 12,000 pounds. A Monster Jam engine will generate 1,500 horsepower thanks to a blower that forces air and fuel into the engine, and is powered by methanol fuel consumed at the rates of three gallons a minute from a specially constructed safety cell. The truck utilizes a four-link racing suspension with four main bars that link the front and rear axles to the frame, riding on clusters of nitrogen-charged shocks that offer 30 inches of travel in the suspension. The BKT tires are 66 inches in diameter and 43 inches wide, inflated to 16-20 psi pressure and (with wheel) weigh 645 pounds each. The driver’s compartment is a steel safety structure built from tubing and mounted to the truck frame, while the truck bodies are custom-built and constructed of fiberglass. Each truck is transported in specially prepared trailers, which can include spare parts and as many as two trucks.
After the Monster Truck opening ceremonies, the event's competition begins with many featured elements including: timed racing in an obstacle-course competition in which the fastest to complete the course is the winner; the two-wheel skills change, with Monster Jam drivers having multiple opportunities to perform the best stunt while bringing at least two wheels into the air; Monster Truck donuts performed in designated flat areas with the objective to rotate the truck as many times as quickly as possible; head-to-head racing in which the trucks travel along a prescribed course to a finish line with the first to legally complete the course advancing in competition; and the freestyle that finds competitors performing tricks and stunts throughout the floor area.
Monster Truck fans, meanwhile, will find many of their favorite vehicles and professional drivers taking part in the Vibrant Arena's springtime event, among them: Grave Digger (driven by Matt Cody); Sparkle Smash (Jamie Sullivan); Zombie (Jon Zimmer Sr.); Terminal Velocity (Jon Zinner Jr.); Krazy Train (Triton Robbins); and Plane Krazy (Montana Robbins).
The 2025 Monster Jam will take place in Moline on May 10 and 11 at 2 p.m. and admission is $24-69, with separate pricing for the 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Pit Party ($20 plus main ticket). For tickets, call (800)745-3000 and visit VibrantArena.com.
