An impressive programme, and… an impressive side show!First of all: once again the Zolder Circuit has a collaboration with Clear Channel Entertainment, organising the European Monster Jam. Hence the start of last year’s edition was preceded by MADUSA wrecking some cars. It clearly was an achievement for Zolder’s security services (governed by Tony Eyckmans). This year’s edition will see SUPERMAN demonstrating some high flying. The ‘demo doughnut’ will take place during the parking procedure for the ‘showgrid’. During the entire weekend 2 monster truck will be on display at the Party Village.
The Party Village, at paddock zone 5 (between the Sacramentsheuvel and Jacky Ickx chicanes) will be turned into a Fun Area, sponsored by Het Belang van Limburg, Alken-Maes, Red Bull, Benji-Fun and the Zolder Circuit. At the central stage we will see a unique midnight concert by Praga Khan. The supporting acts will be DJ contest winners by Het Belang van Limburg and DJ-Lab (Muziekodroom Hasselt). More info: www.muziekodroom.be. Muziekodroom’s best DJ’s will also be moving beats after Prage Khan, into the morning hours.
Above the Party Village will be a 160m high crane, offering the highest Benji-jump available in Europe (from a non-fixed point). It’s the ultimate kick on top of a magical view over the Zolder Circuit. More info: www.benji-fun.com !
The paddock area will be loaded with informational and promotional stands.
