Plans announced to make the 2008 event even larger

Stockholm, Sweden - (October 11, 2007) - Six massive monster trucks and their world famous pilots roared into Antwerp this past weekend for an event packed with thrills, spills and crashes only these mammoth machines are capable of doing.

"We love Monster Jam®" exclaimed Live Nation - Belgium's promoter Manu Braff. "The stands were jammed with families, displaying their handmade signs, screaming for their favorite pilots; the energy right now is incredible! Last year I said it would be bigger, better and crazier in 2007, but now all I can say is be warned, because next year, if you can imagine it, will be even bigger!"

"The fan fair for Monster Jam in Belgium is truly unbelievable," said Magnus Danielsson, Senior Director of European Events, Live Nation - Motor Sports. Added lead promoter, Michel Perl, "Because of this unprecedented support and the capacity crowds, we're pleased to announce Monster Jam is moving to Brussels in 2008, home to the famed Koning Boudwwijn Stadium. A venue this size enables us to bring double the trucks, double the pilots, double the ramps and the largest obstacles Belgium has seen!"

Dominating the weekend was an outstanding performance by reigning 2007 World Champion and Batman monster truck pilot, John Seasock. "Thank you Belgium for another incredible year," shouted the veteran racer. " I came over here from the US to represent my title and win for you, my greatest fans in the world. Thank you, Belgium, for an amazing weekend!"
