The association started highlighting the passion of the industry and sharing it with the enthusiast public in 2011 with the SEMA Cruise, which evolved in 2014 with SEMA Ignited, and then once more in 2021 with the SEMA Show Friday – Open to the Public. In 2023, SEMA first introduced SEMA Fest, a new event that celebrated the relationship between music, motorsports, and car culture. It has since become a one-of-kind live and epic event that is a true bucket-list experience for music lovers and car enthusiasts.
In 2023, the SEMA Show attracted 160,000 attendees and 2,400 brands, making it the top convention in Las Vegas, as reported by the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority’s research center.

GALLUP, NM (06.03.24) – The KICKER Monster Truck 2-event on Saturday July 19th featured two events at the Red Rock Park Arena under mostly a cloudy sky. The setting for the event is very unique as many attendees are seated on a hillside looking down at the track.
“This venue brings enthusiasts together in a very unique setting. KICKER has sponsored several events at this venue before. Attendees are always very enthusiastic and all were definitely Livin’Loud’” Lorin Morrell stated.
Hillside seating at the Red Rock Park Arena is very unusual. But everyone has a great view.
The KICKER display was set up along the entryway.
KICKER was set up under a tent along the entrance to the Red Rock Park Arena. Tables were stacked with a wide variety of the latest products with the KICKER RZR located close to the event track for demos. The KICKER RZR participated in trackside activities with an American flag for the National Anthem. .
The KICKER RZR was ready for the opening ceremony.
Monster trucks flying over obstacles always draws applause.
Continuing “With afternoon and evening action on the track we were busy throughout the day. Pre-event pit parties have become popular activities at these events. Attendees can spend time walking around the track, check out vehicles that will soon be in action over mounds plus meet the drivers. Meeting drivers and asking them about their rides creates a lasting impression with attendees.” Morrell related.
All is set and ready for Saturday.
“KICKER is sponsoring, and participating, in many consumer events. That visibility and direct connection with consumers is creating awareness for traditional car and truck audio products plus marine, motorcycle, Powersports and lifestyle products. Next we are headed to the Sturgis Rally” Morrell, MADDOG Media who orchestrates KICKER Monster Truck events, concluded.

Continuing “Underneath the Modus tent, we displayed the system that’s in the Cybertruck which was on live in the booth. We also made a special T-shirt that we offered to attendees. As we were doing a demo with them, we gave them a T-shirt if they made a social media post during the demo.”

NEW YORK, NY (07.21.25) – SiriusXM announced the launch of SiriusXM Play, the company’s first low-cost, ad-supported subscription package. Welcoming new listeners to experience the company’s flagship audio service at a low monthly price of less than $7, SiriusXM Play offers access to over 130 channels with limited ads in-car and even more to discover streaming in the app, delivering a compelling subset of its signature premium, curated music, talk, and sports programming at an exceptional value. For marketers, Play expands on SiriusXM’s existing talk programming ad inventory to now include the previously untapped opportunity to reach consumers within its unparalleled music channels, giving advertisers a one-of-a-kind platform to meaningfully connect in the car and out with listeners across North America.
“SiriusXM Play presents us with an incredible opportunity to thoughtfully scale our audio service on the road and off to even more listeners across North America,” said Wayne Thorsen, SiriusXM’s Chief Operating Officer. “With Play, we can reach and engage with new, more price-sensitive listeners with a low-cost, ad-supported subscription with more than 130 channels available in-car and so much more in-app, and leverage our strengths across both content and technology as the premium audio leader in-car to deliver this compelling offering to consumers and advertisers alike.”
Currently available on a limited basis, SiriusXM Play will continue to scale in the coming months, with package pricing and further details to be announced later in 2025.
Bringing powerhouse programming across music, talk, and sports to a new cohort of listeners
SiriusXM Play gives subscribers more than 130 music and talk channels in-car that longtime listeners have come to know and love, including homegrown music formats and fan-favorite channels across sports, talk and entertainment, news, and comedy. As it rolls out, Play is expected to include:
Music: Hits 1, The Highway, Hip-Hop Nation + more Sports: Mad Dog Sports Radio, College Sports Radio, Fantasy Sports Radio + more News: POTUS, Patriot, Progress + more Talk + Entertainment: Radio Andy, Conan O’Brien Radio, TODAY Show Radio + more Comedy: Kevin Hart’s LOL Radio, Comedy Central Radio, Jeff & Larry’s Comedy Roundup + more SiriusXM Play subscribers with 360L vehicles may also have access to additional features in-car such as SiriusXM Xtra channels.
In addition to its built-for-the-road, easy-to-use in-car experience, SiriusXM Play includes access to the SiriusXM app, the perfect complement to the in-car listening experience that allows fans to go deeper into their passions and get closer to their favorite music, artists, personalities, and sports. The SiriusXM app gives Play subscribers access to SiriusXM’s complete catalog of live and on-demand content as well as Artist Stations and podcasts, outside of the vehicle and wherever subscribers would like to listen.
Opening up new, premium inventory for advertisers in the final frontier for digital media: the car
The launch of Play allows marketers to tap into SiriusXM’s premium, curated music programming and unlock its highly passionate subscriber base in an intimate environment with few distractions: the car. Offering about half the ad load of traditional AM/FM radio at launch, SiriusXM Play gives marketers the ability to deliver powerful audio ads with fewer interruptions and reach an engaged, leaned-in consumer.
Play is expected to enhance SiriusXM’s extensive advertising portfolio, which reaches an impressive 160 million listeners each month across satellite broadcast (featuring SiriusXM’s talk and sports programming in addition to the new ad-supported Play music channels), streaming (inclusive of Pandora, SoundCloud, and more), and the SiriusXM Podcast Network. By the end of 2025, advertisers will be able to seamlessly buy across all of these touchpoints with one unified transaction, tapping into powerful audiences at scale in audio. This further solidifies SiriusXM Media, the company’s advertising group, as a leader in ad-supported audio.
In the coming months and year, the company is expected to launch additional advanced capabilities such as enhanced targeting, dynamic ad insertion, creative channel takeover packages, and measurement tools across SiriusXM’s ad inventory in 360L-enabled vehicles. This will give marketers a powerful platform to connect their brand with engaged audiences in the car and in other places only audio can reach. An important part of consumers’ daily routines – from the morning commute to their workout routine to preparing dinner – audio creates deeper connections between listeners and creators, leading to more attention and higher impact for advertisers.
“Play is an exciting net-new opportunity for marketers looking to tap into passionate, high-quality audiences across some of SiriusXM’s most beloved music, talk, and sports channels, reaching listeners in the moments that matter,” said Scott Walker, Chief Advertising Revenue Officer, SiriusXM. “The car is the final frontier for digital ad-supported media. In the short term, we are opening up new inventory for marketers, including premium, curated music. In the long term, with more advanced capabilities, we have a chance to revolutionize the in-car advertising landscape.”
More to come
SiriusXM Play’s expansion will make the package available to nearly 100 million vehicles by the end of 2025, with further growth on the horizon in the years to come. Additional channels and the more advanced advertising capabilities referenced will continue to roll out over time as the offering evolves.
For listeners looking to access SiriusXM’s signature ad-free music, exclusive artist-led music channels, Howard Stern, live sports play-by-play, league channels and more in-car, SiriusXM offers a compelling suite of packages and price points for every type of fan starting at $9.99 a month.
