Formula 1 returns to Silverstone for the 2024 British Grand Prix on July 4-7. With tickets going on sale in September 2023, race organisers were early in announcing the concert offering over the 2024 British Grand Prix weekend, with the headline acts confirmed over nine months prior to the event. Stormzy, Pete Tong and Rudimental are all confirmed to headline the British Grand Prix in 2024.
The nightly concerts at Silverstone have become a major selling point of the British Grand Prix in recent years. In 2023, Silverstone expanded its concert offering with a brand new expanded stage area with capacity for up to 45,000 fans. Headline acts in previous years have included Tom Grennan, Black Eyed Peas, Craig David, Calvin Harris and Bastille.
Read on to see who’ll be performing each night and how to secure access to the 2024 British Grand Prix!
Thursday Opening Concert
After a successful debut in 2023, the 2024 British Grand Prix weekend will once again open with a big name concert on Thursday night. Last year, the opening party was headlined by Calvin Harris, with special guests Cat Burns and Jess Glynne.
While access to the track on a Thursday used to be free for 3-day ticket holders, it now costs an additional £100 (in most ticket categories) for a 4-day ticket which grants access to the Thursday concert. A late entry ticket for Thursday, which includes admission only to the evening’s activities, is available from the Silverstone website for £65.
In November 2023, Silverstone announced American rock band Kings Of Leon will headline the Thursday night opening party at the 2024 British Grand Prix. The Grammy award-winning band, who are best known for hits like Use Somebody, Sex On Fire and Radioactive, recently headlined the 2023 Singapore Grand Prix.
British musician Self Esteem, Scottish rock band The Snuts and singer-songwriter Florrie will also be performing on Thursday at the 2024 British Grand Prix. A surprise DJ set is also scheduled to take place on the main stage ahead of Kings of Leon’s headline set.
Fans who have tickets for Thursday at the British Grand Prix can also enjoy the Sky Sports F1 live show on the main straight, hear from members of the F1 community on the Drivers Inn Stage and hear from David Coulthard and Eddie Jordan on the main stage.
Stormzy to Headline Friday Night
Grime icon Stormzy will be performing on the main stage at the 2024 British Grand Prix on Friday July 5. The multiple BRIT award winning rapper, who has topped the UK album charts with all three of his albums, will be performing well-known hits like Blinded by Your Grace, Vossi Bop and Crown.
Stormzy – who namechecks Martin Brundle in new track Angel In The Marble – will make his Silverstone debut in 2024 but has played at a Formula 1 weekend before. A regular on Brundle’s famous grid walks, Stormzy previously performed at the 2021 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. Jordss and Ghetts will also be performing on the main stage on Friday night.
Pete Tong Performing After Qualifying
World-renowned DJ Pete Tong will be bringing his hugely popular Ibiza Classics live show to Silverstone on Saturday July 6, performing in the evening after qualifying for the 2024 British Grand Prix.
Taking to the stage alongside The Essential Orchestra, conducted by Jules Buckley, Pete Tong will be playing his orchestral re-imaginings of classic tracks, celebrating the legacy of dance and house music.
Brazilian artist Nonô will also be performing on the main stage on Saturday evening and there’ll be a DJ set by Arielle Free
Rudimental to Close Out 2024 British Grand Prix Weekend
After the 2024 British Grand Prix on Sunday July 7, British drum and bass band Rudimental will close out the weekend performing their biggest hits on the main stage. Anna de Ferran, Fomz and Pat Nazemii will also be on stage after the race on Sunday.
It’s always worth sticking around after the chequered flag at Silverstone. You’ll avoid some of the post race traffic jams, have the opportunity to see some of the Formula 1 drivers on the stage and soak up the after race atmosphere.
As the sun sets on another memorable British Grand Prix weekend, Rudimental will be playing a selection of their chart-topping hits. Having collaborated with some of the biggest names in British music – such as Ed Sheeran and Rita Ora – fans can expect to hear the likes of Feel The Love, Waiting All Night and These Days on stage at Silverstone in July.
