Accompanied by its sister event series Nightshift, which features modified cars, drift demos, Freestyle MotoX, dyno runs, and bike stunts, the touring festival boasts 21 shows in the U.S., attended by almost half a million auto enthusiasts, in addition to international shows in Guam, United Kingdom, Puerto Rico, Brazil, among others.

Hailed by Newsweek magazine as the "Lollapalooza for millions of hipster-hobbyists", HIN has been leading the automotive scene to new heights year after year. The event's innovative format and highly sought after content attract record attendance numbers in key markets, setting a new standard for car shows.
