Universal Pictures is taking a "go big or go home" approach to launching the latest film in the Fast saga, FAST & FURIOUS 9, by announcing a live concert experience to accompany a major trailer for the upcoming action thrillride. Titled The Road to F9 Live Concert & Trailer Drop, this one-time-only event will be held in Miami, Florida on January 31, 2020. In addition to waving a checkered flag for the film's pulse-pounding trailer, the subwoofer-shattering spectacle will also feature guest appearances from the Fast cast as well as live performances from the following list of musical artists: Cardi B, Wiz Khalifa, Charlie Puth, Ozuna, and Ludacris!

What's more is that Universal wants you to be there! To find out how you can score tickets to the show, be sure to click here! Once you submit your information, organizers of the event will determine if you are eligible to attend, and will then reach out with instructions for how you can obtain you reservation.

Directed by Fast film veteran Justin Lin, the film stars Vin Diesel, Charlize Theron, Helen Mirren, Michelle Rodriguez, Nathalie Emmanuel, John Cena, Jordana Brewster, Cardi B, Finn Cole, Michael Rooker, Ella Walker, Tyrese Gibson, Ludacris, and Amber Sienna, with Lucas Black also rumored to be a part of the action.

Plot details for the film have yet to be revealed, though the cast list confirms that Theron will be reprising her role as the villain Cipher for the sequel, so you know that the film is poised to feature plenty of high-tech shenanigans on her behalf. What's left remains a mystery for the moment, though it's been made clear that FAST & FURIOUS 9 is looking to pull out all the stops to stand as one of the biggest installments of the franchise and then some. Hold onto your butts, Fast fans, it's going to be a very bumpy ride.
