Monster storms into rAge with pure adrenaline
Monster Energy is rolling into rAge 2025 with one intention and that is to make your weekend feel like a highlight reel. From the moment visitors hit Level 8 at Fourways Mall, they will hear the noise, feel the energy and know exactly where the Monster zone lives.
This is Monster treating rAge like a massive community meet-up. It does not matter whether you are a hardcore gamer, a casual button-masher, a motorsport fan, an MMA loyalist or someone who just wants to plug into the hype. The setup is built for chaos, fun and connection.
No ad to show here.
There are prizes, flavour drops and giveaways, but above all, Monster is here for the vibe.
Three tents, cold cans and endless challenges
The Monster area is built around three dome tents. One is home to the Monster Bar where visitors can grab ice-cold sampling of their favourite flavours. The other two host a mix of games, activations and spaces to recharge before diving back into the madness. The photo booth runs all day and there are free experiences across the zone.
Everything is free to try. Everyone is welcome. The energy never dips.
MMA strikes return to break egos and scoreboards
The MMA machine was one of the rAge heroes last year. Now it is back, louder and more competitive. Visitors are invited to throw their best combinations, land a high-score kick and go head-to-head with friends or strangers who instantly turn into rivals.
Monster is attempting to bring UFC champion Dricus du Plessis to test the machine if schedules allow. Fans could watch a world champion land his own score on the same machine they used. It is the ideal bragging rights moment.
Star or no star, the challenge remains an instant crowd-builder and a perfect snapshot of what makes rAge special.
Lando Norris hot laps challenge takes over the racing rigs
The racing section features three simulators running all weekend, including one dedicated to McLaren’s Lando Norris. This is where the Hot Laps Challenge lives. Visitors race for time, climb the leaderboard and return later to see if someone knocked them off the top.
Winners score Monster merch and bragging rights. The fast-moving queue means everyone gets a turn and can jump back in to shave off milliseconds.
It is the closest most will come to fighting for a podium against a pack of weekend warriors, no pit crew required.
Monster hosts the first local showdown on Call of Duty: Black Ops 7
The Monster Call of Duty Invitational is set to deliver one of the biggest esports moments of the year. This event marks the first official competitive showcase of Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 in South Africa.
The invitational runs in a 4v4 format across Hardpoint, Search and Destroy and Overload. Only four elite teams have been called up: Nixuh, FE4R, Highborn and Aerial. They will compete for supremacy, bragging rights and a R25 000 prize pool.
Monster and Mettlestate are building a finals stage designed for spectators. Expect a raised platform, dual team rows, a front-facing broadcast screen and dedicated seating so fans can watch every clutch moment without fighting for a viewpoint.
And do not forget: Monster’s on-can Call of Duty promotion runs through November and December. Buy participating cans in-store, scan the QR code, and redeem points on PlayStation, Xbox or PC.
New Lando Norris flavour hits South Africa
A new Monster flavour inspired by Lando Norris has arrived shortly after its global debut. South African fans cleared shelves on release. If you missed it, this is your chance. If you did not, you already know why it is generating demand.
Expect it front and centred at the sampling bar all weekend.
Where to find Monster at rAge
The Monster zone will dominate the new event space on Level 8 at Fourways Mall. Drop in between your expo missions, grab a can, hit the leaderboards and stay for the finals.
Because Monster at rAge is not a stop. It is a scene.
