Not to Be Confused With the May Monster Truck Show

If you’ve seen ads for a monster truck event happening in May at Rod Laver Arena, you’re not imagining things—that’s a completely separate show.

That one is called Monster Truck Mania Live, and while it also features monster trucks, it’s not part of the Hot Wheels tour and offers a very different experience.
