On Saturday, 2 January 2027, Hot Wheels Monster Trucks Live Color Bash will be in two cities at the same time. Savannah's Enmarket Arena and Memphis's FedExForum will both host shows on the same afternoon. Then again the following day. That single data point — a production sprawling across simultaneous venues on the same calendar date — tells you almost everything you need to know about the scale and ambition of what's coming.
The Opening Weekend Is Already a Logistical Statement
The tour kicks off on Friday, 1 January 2027 in Savannah at the Enmarket Arena — a New Year's Day opener that sets an unambiguous tone. The building then hosts shows on both Saturday and Sunday, with three separate Savannah dates across 3 January alone. Meanwhile, Memphis is running its own parallel programme at the FedExForum, packing in two shows on the Sunday as well.
This is not a touring production easing itself into the year. This is a full-throttle, multi-city deployment from day one. The operational complexity of running concurrent venues in different states while maintaining the spectacle that the Color Bash name promises is genuinely striking. Sixty-six fixtures in total across this run. Whatever the production team has built for this edition, they clearly believe it travels.
If you're in Savannah for the opener, get your tickets early — New Year's Day shows in arena-sized venues don't sit around.
The Mid-January Expansion: Charlotte and Austin Enter the Frame
After the opening cluster, the tour pauses briefly before splitting again — this time sending the show into Charlotte's Spectrum Center and Austin's Moody Center ATX across the weekend of 9–10 January. Both cities receive multiple shows across Saturday and Sunday, with Charlotte alone hosting three dates over that weekend.
The geography here is deliberate and interesting. Charlotte sits at the heart of American motorsport culture — the wider region's relationship with high-horsepower spectacle runs deep. Austin, by contrast, brings a different energy: a city that has cultivated a taste for large-scale live events in recent years, with the Moody Center still relatively new in the landscape of major Texas venues. Hot Wheels Monster Trucks Live Color Bash arriving at both simultaneously is a confident read of where the appetite for this kind of show currently sits.
Running Charlotte and Austin simultaneously on the same weekend isn't logistics for its own sake — it's a declaration that this production is big enough to fill two major markets at once without diluting either.
Baltimore and the Wider January Picture
The last weekend of January brings the tour to Baltimore's CFG Bank Arena, with multiple shows scheduled for Saturday, 23 January. Baltimore is a different market again — a northeastern city with a compact, passionate live-events audience, and the CFG Bank Arena as a venue has the kind of intimate arena feel that makes high-production motorsport spectacle land differently than it does in vast stadium bowls.
With 51 additional fixtures beyond the 15 detailed above — running well into the new year — this is a tour with extraordinary reach. The pattern emerging from the early schedule suggests the Color Bash production will continue to move in clusters: seeding multiple cities in the same week, sometimes running parallel shows on identical dates, then moving on before the market has a chance to cool.
