Too many people let in, queues for everything. Everything so expensive- £8 an ice cream!!!  No where to even lay a picnic blank*t. Shows were pretty much non-existant. Monster truck show was 1 monster truck driving over 3 cars twice. (The first time is broke down and had to be repaired).  You could not see this as it was in the smallest corner and so many people were trying to watch, just looked like a normal car driving around as we couldn't see the tyres or cars it was crushing! Even with children on shoulders. Monster truck ride was pre-bookable which meant they did not have any availability leaving many children heartbroken (but saved my bank balance as it was £12 a rider!!!) 
Will never come again to anything like this.

Review of Trucks & Tunes - Midlands - Sunday

Not as advertised. "Trucks and tunes" is what we bought. What we got was a country music festival that happened to have one Monster truck that did a tame drive over a couple of cars 4 times after being delayed for an hour with no announcement (waiting with 2 kids). The layout meant it was over crowded as the monster truck bit was right next to where everyone who came for the music had already set up camp for the day which probably annoyed both sets of attendees

Absolute rip off , waste of money , cost myself 55pound for 4 cold baguettes😡 all fair games were rigged for everyone to lose ..
Would NEVER recommend or go again .

Over crowded took over an hour to get on any ride/ purchase an ice cream. Could not see any of the monster trucks or children's characters. Organisers obviously overbooked to cash in but made the experience very poor I would not book again. £7 per ride is extortionate and food and drink prices ridiculous

Poorly organised and extremely expensive for what the event actually was. Branded all wrong as a Monster truck show for only a 10min show in the arena

Huge traffic queues and no direction from parking volunteers

Arena was poorly laid out and all spectators were penned into one side.

Food trucks and snacks very expensive as well as the fair ground rides.

All in all not worth the money and a waste of a day

Poor event, a lot of what was advised was not on and the prices were extremely expensive for food and the rides

It took us over two hours to actually arrive at the venue due to the roads being gridlocked. The prepaid parking we had got wasn't checked, so really we could have parked for free. 
Tick*ts weren't checked when entering, again, we could have entered for free as no one was checking. 
Everything was cramped together. The food venues were too close together and we couldn't move past most of them due to the queues. 
Prices were over the top! Around £5 per person per ride, for a family that is unaffordable! Food prices were over the top! Stated online no picnics were allowed to be taken in but plenty of people there with picnics.
The monster truck show was overrated. One monster truck for five minutes and an overpriced ride on another. 

Too cramped, overpriced, didn't give what was advertised and we could have got in for free as no tick*ts were checked. Wouldn't recommend and wouldn't attend again.

I bought early tick*ts and parking in October 2024 as our two 4 year old grandsons love monster trucks.  They also like Bluey and Transformers.  Our tick*ts, for 3 cars, were not checked at all (I had paid for 3 cars).  We queued to go into the event -2 small walkways where bags were "checked" (just a peep inside) we weren't asked for our tick*ts.  How did the organisers know how many people were in the venue or what people were taking in there?  Bluey and Bingo were right next to the stage.  Difficult to locate them.  Did not see the Transformers.  My son and his little boy queued for a ride on the truck at 1330 to be told the next ride to book would be 1900!  My grandson was devastated.  The programme I had stated Monster Trucks show at 1400.  The boys were really excited but got bored waiting so they were taken to the fair for a bit.  Show eventually started at 1500.  There were no announcements.  Show consisted of 1 truck that did 4 jumps.  Boys were impressed, adults less so.
People were just piling into the area we were in walking over our blank*ts, bathing through with pushchairs , no stewards around.   
Food and soft drinks really expensive.

It would seem that this event was known as Balloons and Monster Trucks, Balloons and Tunes or Country music Festival.
I won't be rushing to attend another event.

Well over priced food and drink!!!!!... tick*t was ok priced its everything else ..monster truck show with the truck show was crap ... literally hanged around for that show ... was rubbish ...the best part was the stunt bikes ...music was fine ... also ... where you made the truck show, for the trucks was literally 1 railing 1 side .... needed to be all the way around like the stunt bikes no 1 couldn't hardly see 🤷  so no i could not recommend to a friend this time unfortunately

Really happy family vibe, Ryan the kids entertainer was fab, drinks at the bars were very expensive, as were the fairground rides. For people with 3 kids it would have been Â£12 for one ride! Maybe a wrist band would be a better idea? 
Overall a lovely day out, congrats to the organisers for a fantastic event 

the event was way more than what we expected my children had so much fun I got to relive a childhood memory by going on the sizzler loved the tribute acts there was so much to do and see my youngest was in his element watching the monster trucks
