The F1 weekend is hot on our heels, and the concert stage is looming bigger than ever over the wild crowd destined to be there! F1 fans and music lovers unite for this epic weekend to witness powerful vehicles and vocals at the Formula 1 Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix from 4th to 7th December, 2025. The Yasalam After-Race Concert series is shaping the weekend to be a blockbuster hit, so get ready to witness legendary performances on and off the track!
This year, the long weekend after-race bash is rolling out the red carpet for some of the biggest and hottest global artists! From the OG rock band Metallica to the timeless pop star Katy Perry and even a fresh, up-and-coming heartthrob, Benson Boone, it's a jam-packed roster that promises iconic hits and electric personalities. To celebrate the release of the full line-up for the weekend, we'll get into each artist and what they're bringing to town this December. Ready, set, GO!
The most important thing to note is that access to all of the after-race concerts and after-parties is strictly reserved for GP ticket holders, and so fans cannot attend solely based on music interest outside the confines of the race weekend itself! Once you've gotten your GP ticket, you are automatically allowed access to the concert venue, but only for the select days you've got your ticket for. You may upgrade for the Golden Circle experience and be up close and personal with the artists and enjoy early access to the venue, and if you haven't purchased your F1 package, then that's your starting point! The link for all available tickets, packages, and shows is uniquely provided at the end.
So, while the weekend is still a wait, the race for the tickets is already on. So get on track and get moving!
