  • Angel of the Winds Arena’s May Through October 2026 Schedule Is Stacked — Here’s Everything Coming to Everett

    Angel of the Winds Arena’s May Through October 2026 Schedule Is Stacked — Here’s Everything Coming to Everett

    Angel of the Winds Arena doesn’t get enough credit as one of the Pacific Northwest’s best mid-sized venues. Yes, it’s home to the Silvertips. Yes, the Washington Wolfpack play there. But this spring and summer it’s hosting monster truck shows, a national figure skating competition, two nights of Billy Strings, arena football, and the most important hockey series this building has seen in years.

    Here’s the complete rundown of what’s coming — and what you should already have on your calendar.

    The Big One: Silvertips WHL Championship Final (May 8-9)

    Start here, because this is the reason to get tickets right now.

    The Everett Silvertips are going to the WHL Championship Final. They’re 12-1 in the playoffs with back-to-back sweeps in Rounds 2 and 3. They’re waiting on the Prince Albert-Medicine Hat Eastern Conference Final to produce an opponent — that series goes to Game 5 on Friday, May 1. Games 1 and 2 of the WHL Championship Final are at Angel of the Winds Arena on Thursday, May 8 and Friday, May 9.

    This is the WHL’s biggest stage. Tickets available through Ticketmaster. If you’re a hockey fan anywhere in Snohomish County, get your seats before they’re gone.

    Washington Wolfpack Arena Football (May 2, May 23, June 20, June 27)

    The Washington Wolfpack home opener is Saturday, May 2 at 3:00 PM against the defending Arena Crown champion Albany Firebirds. It’s Teacher’s Night — check the Wolfpack site if you’re an educator.

    The second home game is Saturday, May 23 against the Beaumont Renegades at 3:00 PM. Two more summer dates follow: June 20 (Oregon Lightning, 6:00 PM) and June 27 (Michigan Arsenal, 6:00 PM).

    Arena football at Angel of the Winds is a genuinely fun afternoon — fast pace, high scoring, and the building is close enough to feel every hit.

    Hot Wheels Monster Trucks Live: Glow-N-Fire (May 30-31)

    Three shows across two days: Saturday, May 30 at 12:30 PM and 7:30 PM, and Sunday, May 31 at 2:30 PM. The Glow-N-Fire 2026 tour features Mega Wrex, Bigfoot, Bone Shaker, and the debut of Rhinomite. Floor ticket holders get Pre-Show Party access 2.5 hours before showtime.

    If you have kids between four and twelve, this is exactly what the event is built for.

    Billy Strings: Two Nights in October (October 9-10)

    This is the headline concert announcement on the fall calendar. Billy Strings — the Grammy-winning guitarist widely regarded as the most compelling live act in American music right now — is playing two nights at Angel of the Winds Arena on Friday, October 9 and Saturday, October 10, both at 7:30 PM with doors at 6:30.

    Two-night packages are available. Floor options include GA Pit and Reserved Floor. Four-ticket limit per purchase.

    If you haven’t seen Billy Strings live: he and his band typically play three-plus hours, the improvisation is real, and the audience is one of the more welcoming in music. These shows will sell out. Tickets available through Ticketmaster and Live Nation.

    Skate America: November 13-15

    The ISU Grand Prix figure skating competition returns to Everett for Skate America on November 13-15, 2026 — the only U.S. stop on the ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating Series.

    The three-day event includes Men’s and Pairs Short Programs on Nov. 13; Women’s Short Program, Men’s Free Skate, Rhythm Dance, and Pairs Free Skate on Nov. 14; and Free Dance and Women’s Free Skate on Nov. 15. Practice sessions begin Nov. 12.

    All-session tickets run $100–$600. This is a legitimate international sporting event at your local arena.

    Hot Wheels Monster Trucks Live Glow-N-Fire: Three Shows at Angel of the Winds Arena May 30-31

    When is Hot Wheels Monster Trucks Live coming to Angel of the Winds Arena? Hot Wheels Monster Trucks Live Glow-N-Fire performs at Angel of the Winds Arena in Everett on Saturday, May 30, 2026 at 12:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m., and Sunday, May 31, 2026 at 2:30 p.m. All three shows include pre-show floor access with the monster trucks and drivers, available 2.5 hours before each performance.

    Hot Wheels Monster Trucks Live Glow-N-Fire Rolls Into Everett Memorial Day Weekend

    Memorial Day weekend at Angel of the Winds Arena is getting a major upgrade. Hot Wheels Monster Trucks Live Glow-N-Fire is bringing its 2026 tour to downtown Everett for three shows, May 30 through May 31, and if the name “Glow-N-Fire” does not already tell you where this is headed, the tour’s marketing is leaning hard into pyrotechnics, LED lighting, and trucks that literally breathe fire. It is 75 minutes of loud, and it is built for kids.

    Here is everything a family in Everett, Mukilteo, Marysville, or anywhere in Snohomish County needs to know before buying tickets.

    Showtimes at Angel of the Winds Arena

    • Saturday, May 30, 2026 — 12:30 p.m. (matinee, family-friendly time slot)
    • Saturday, May 30, 2026 — 7:30 p.m. (evening show)
    • Sunday, May 31, 2026 — 2:30 p.m. (Sunday afternoon matinee)

    All three shows are at Angel of the Winds Arena, 2000 Hewitt Avenue, Everett. For families with younger kids, the 12:30 p.m. Saturday matinee is the best pick. For anyone who wants the full effect of the pyrotechnics and glow elements (which read better in a darker arena), the 7:30 p.m. Saturday night show is the one.

    Which Monster Trucks Are on the 2026 Roster?

    Glow-N-Fire brings a lineup stacked with the Hot Wheels all-stars plus a brand-new truck making its live debut this year:

    • Mega Wrex — the fan-favorite T-rex truck
    • Tiger Shark
    • HW 5-Alarm
    • Bone Shaker
    • Bigfoot — the original name in monster truck history
    • Gunkster
    • Skelesaurus
    • Rhinomite — new for 2026, making its live debut on this tour

    If your kid has an opinion about which truck is best, it is probably Mega Wrex. Do not fight them on this.

    The Pre-Show Party: Arrive Early

    The Pre-Show Party presented by Metro by T-Mobile happens 2.5 hours before every performance and is hands-down the best part of the experience for kids. Pre-Show Party access lets fans onto the competition floor to see the monster trucks up close, meet the drivers, take photos, and get autographs. It is a separate ticket, but it is what turns a 75-minute show into a three-hour day.

    Translation for parents: if you are paying for the show, pay for Pre-Show access too. The floor time is where the memories happen.

    Tickets, Pricing, and Kids’ Deals

    Tickets are on sale through Ticketmaster, the Angel of the Winds Arena box office, and the official Hot Wheels Monster Trucks Live website. Special kids pricing is available for all three Everett performances, which typically means a deep discount off the standard adult ticket price when purchased for eligible younger attendees. Exact pricing varies by seating section.

    Buy direct through Ticketmaster or the arena box office if you want to avoid secondary-market fees.

    What to Expect Inside the Arena

    The Glow-N-Fire tour adds enhanced pyrotechnic effects, LED and black-light lighting, and glow-in-the-dark moments to the standard monster truck show. The trucks still do all the things fans expect — big air, wheelies, car crushes, donuts, and head-to-head competition — but the entire arena gets dimmed for the glow and fire sequences, which is spectacular in person and completely worth experiencing at the evening show if possible.

    Earplugs are a good idea for kids under 5, and most parents recommend them. The arena sometimes has free foam earplugs at guest services, but bring your own to be safe.

    How to Get There

    Angel of the Winds Arena is at 2000 Hewitt Avenue in downtown Everett, one block off I-5 at Exit 193. Parking is available in the Everest Station Garage directly adjacent, in the arena’s own lot, and along Hewitt Avenue. For a matinee show, arrive 45 minutes before showtime. For the Saturday night show, plan on 60 minutes of lead time because of parking and concessions lines.

    Pro tip for Everett families: the Port of Everett waterfront is 10 minutes away and has multiple kid-friendly restaurants (and ice cream) if you want to build a whole Memorial Day weekend day around the show.
