Monster Jam at the Hampton Coliseum begins in...
Get Ready to Rev Your Engines, Hampton!
The loudest, wildest, most jaw-dropping show on four giant wheels is rolling back into town, and Monster Jam is bringing the full experience to the Hampton Coliseum. From November 6 through November 8, 2026, the iconic round arena on Coliseum Drive turns into a dirt-packed playground where 12,000-pound trucks fly through the air, crush cars, and battle for the win. With four separate shows across the weekend, you have plenty of chances to grab a seat and feel the roar for yourself.
Monster Jam is not just a race, and it is not just a stunt show. It is both, rolled into one unforgettable afternoon or evening. Every event blends head-to-head racing, a precision skills challenge, and the always-electric freestyle competition where drivers throw everything they have at the dirt. Backflips, donuts, sky-high jumps, and the occasional spectacular wipeout all come standard. The trucks stand about 12 feet tall and 12 feet wide, ride on 66-inch tires, and pack engines that produce a thunder you can feel deep in your chest.
Part of what makes a Hampton Coliseum show so special is the building itself. Opened in 1970 and ringed by its famous glowing moat, the Coliseum is one of the most recognizable arenas on the Virginia Peninsula. The bowl seating wraps tightly around the floor, so there is truly no bad seat in the house once the trucks start flying. Families pour in from Newport News, Norfolk, Virginia Beach, and across Hampton Roads to make Monster Jam a tradition every single time it comes to town.
Expect a roster stacked with legends. Grave Digger, the green-and-black machine that has been tearing up tracks since 1982, headlines a field that often features fan favorites such as El Toro Loco, Megalodon, Sparkle Smash, and other championship-caliber trucks. Truck lineups are set closer to event day and can change from show to show, which is all part of the fun. Get there early and you may even catch the Pit Party, where fans get up close to the trucks and meet the drivers before the gates to the main show open.
With four shows on the schedule, you can pick the day and time that works best for your crew. The Friday night opener and the Saturday evening show bring big, high-energy crowds, while the Saturday and Sunday daytime shows are a favorite for families with younger kids. Check the listings below to compare seats and prices for every show, then act fast, because tickets move quickly once families lock in their weekend plans. You can browse verified seats on BigStub and secure your spot before the best ones are gone. Get ready, Hampton -- the trucks are coming, the dirt is flying, and this is going to be loud.
Monster Jam Roars Back Into the Hampton Coliseum
There is nothing quite like the moment the lights drop, the announcer fires up the crowd, and the first monster truck creeps onto the dirt. The engines snarl, the floor shakes, and thousands of fans rise to their feet. That is the magic of Monster Jam, and it is coming straight to the Hampton Coliseum for a four-show run from November 6 to November 8, 2026. For families across Hampton Roads, this is one of the biggest live entertainment weekends of the fall.
Monster Jam has grown into the most popular monster truck series on the planet, and the reason is simple. Every show packs three distinct competitions into one ticket. The racing bracket pits trucks head-to-head on a twisting course where a fraction of a second decides the winner. The skills challenge rewards precision, with drivers scored on donuts and two-wheel tricks. Then comes freestyle, the wild finale where each driver gets open floor and a clock, and the only goal is to thrill the judges and the crowd. It is part motorsport, part stunt show, and all adrenaline.
The trucks themselves are engineering marvels. Each one stands roughly 12 feet tall, stretches about 12 feet wide, and rolls on 66-inch tires that alone can weigh hundreds of pounds. Under the body sits a supercharged engine making well over 1,500 horsepower. When a driver launches one of these machines off a ramp, the truck can clear a distance longer than a row of parked cars. The crashes, rollovers, and dramatic saves are every bit as memorable as the clean landings.
Headlining the field is Grave Digger, the most famous monster truck ever built. Dennis Anderson created the original in 1982, and the green-and-black machine with its haunted graveyard paint has been a fan favorite for more than four decades. The Anderson family still races under the Grave Digger banner today. Hampton crowds can also expect to see championship trucks such as El Toro Loco, Megalodon, Sparkle Smash, and other heavy hitters from the touring roster. Lineups are set close to event day and can change, so every show brings its own mix of trucks and drivers.
The Hampton Coliseum has hosted some of the biggest events in the region since it opened in 1970. Located at 1000 Coliseum Drive, the round arena with its glowing moat is a true Virginia landmark, and you can read more about its history on its Wikipedia page. Its tight bowl seating keeps every fan close to the action. The four November shows are scheduled for Friday evening, two on Saturday, and a Sunday afternoon matinee, giving every family a time slot that fits. You can find more about the building and its event calendar on the official Hampton Coliseum website, and full Monster Jam tour details are posted at MonsterJam.com.
