Monster Trucks, motorcycle freestyle and Transformers: the show has been extended near Paris

Buckle up, it's going to be wild: the Hells Drivers Danglade Show is extending its run near Paris with monster trucks and spectacular stunts. From May 16 to 31, and then from June 5 to 14, 2026, head to Soisy-sous-Montmorency, just a stone's throw from the Enghien-Soisy Hippodrome, for this explosive family show. Read our review.

It hums, it skids, it smashes everything in its path… The Hells Drivers Danglade Show rolls into Soisy-sous-Montmorency from May 16 to May 31, 2026 and extended from June 5 to 14, 2026. Facing the Enghien-Soisy Hippodrome, the mechanical phenomenon is set to roar through the Val-d’Oise!

Seen as a blockbuster on stage, this 90-minute live show stacks Monster Trucks tearing through cars, jaw-dropping car stunts, the motorcycle freestyle that climbs to the clouds, and even Transformer-like robots mid-transformation.

Behind this adrenaline-fueled show, the Danglade family runs a well-tuned machinery handed down from generation to generation. Suitable for ages 3 and up, the performance stacks vertigo-inducing leaps, precision slides, and ultra-choreographed moves, all set to a soundtrack and effects-heavy atmosphere designed to sweep the whole family along.

Even before the engines heat up, the Fun Zone opens two hours before the show and is already revving up: Monster Truck rides, activities, on-site catering, and free inflatable bouncy castles for the kids. After the final lap? Meet the drivers and snap souvenir photos up close with the racing machines.

On the schedule, a string of dates keeps the tour moving—the May 16, 17, 20, 22, 23, 24, 25, 27, 29, 30 and 31—with matinee and evening showings. The payoff: an immersive family outing just beyond Paris, where adrenaline becomes the spectacle. Places limited, limitless thrills!

Our Take:

The Danglade Show in the Paris region, set opposite the Enghien racecourse on an open field, is designed as a family-friendly outing with a strong emphasis on kids.

Access and organisation: a pleasant surprise on the practicality front, with free parking or easy access via the nearby H line. One important caveat: online reservations are no longer possible. Tickets must be purchased on site, which can mean crowds building up right from doors opening at 12:30 PM.

Before the show: two free inflatable castles, a mechanical bull (€3) and a food truck that fills up quickly. Monster Truck rides (€10) also kick off at this time, offering 2 to 3-minute runs with accelerations, car crushes, and reverse gear... The vehicle moves quite a bit, so it’s best to skip it if motion makes you queasy! The activity attracts a big crowd fast, so lines grow quickly. Children must be accompanied by an adult.

Food and drink: straightforward and approachable options: hot dogs or paninis at €5, fries €3, chips €2, drinks €2, plus sweet snacks like popcorn or XXL lollipops. Note: card payments are only accepted from €10 onward. Tip: arrive early to dodge long lines at the food trucks.

Seating and wait: seating is open-plan. By around 1:30 PM, there are still chances to grab central seats, especially in groups. Outside of the inflatable structures (for kids) and the ride experiences, there isn’t much else to fill the time before the 2:30 PM show begins. The wait can feel long for older spectators, particularly those who arrived at opening.

The show: a sequence of car stunts, skids and flame effects; transforming trucks into robots in a Transformers-like display that’s pretty impressive; aerial motorcycle freestyle—arguably the most striking moment of the show; appearances by Cars characters (Lightning McQueen and Sally), which provokes even more excitement among the kids in the stands; then a finale with the Monster Trucks crushing cars. The stunt performers regularly engage with the audience, and a photo/autograph session wraps things up.

It’s a show that’s accessible and quirky, clearly kid-oriented, less spectacular than a big American spectacle, but a fun, original outing for a family day out.
