With just over seven months to go until the 2024 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix weekend, race organisers at Yas Marina Circuit announced the first headline act who’ll be performing at the event. This year’s race falls on December 5-8, with headline concerts set to take place as part of the Yasalam After Race Concert Series on each evening of the event weekend.
The post-race concerts have become a major selling point of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix since it first joined the F1 calendar in 2009. Foo Fighters, Shania Twain, Ava Max and Tiësto were the four headliners at last year’s Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, while previous performers include the likes of Def Leppard, Beyoncé, Rhianna, Stormzy and The Killers.
Abu Dhabi Grand Prix concerts take place at Etihad Park, formerly known as the Du Arena, located between the North Grandstand and Ferrari World. Tickets for all concerts is free-standing general admission access – though you can get closer to the front with Golden Circle ticket upgrades, which are available now in our ticket shop.
Yas Marina Circuit has now hosted more season-closing races than any other track, having overtaken Adelaide’s former record in 2023.

They’ll be the last of the four headline performers, with their concert taking place after the Grand Prix on Sunday December 8. Abu Dhabi Grand Prix concerts take place on each day of the event, from Thursday through to Sunday. Expect a high octane show, as the band perform some of their biggest hits, including Supermassive Black Hole, Uprising and Starlight
