We’re counting down the days!
Can you believe it’s already June? That means just six months until the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix speeds back into town. While the thrill of Formula 1 will dominate the daytime action, the nights are reserved for music lovers thanks to the iconic Yasalam After-Race Concerts.
The full concert lineup for the four-day weekend has officially been revealed though there’s always a chance we might see a surprise addition. We’ll be watching for updates. But for now…
Here’s who’s set to light up the stage at the 2025 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix:
Benson Boone
When: Thursday, December 4, 2025
Benson Boone is kicking things off with his soulful pop hits that have taken TikTok and streaming charts by storm. Known for tracks like Beautiful Things, In The Stars, and Slow It Down, this American Idol alum has carved a successful path in music — even performing at the 2025 GRAMMY Awards. Expect smooth vocals, slick dance moves, and maybe even a surprise piano performance.
Post Malone
When: Friday, December 5, 2025
Back by popular demand, Post Malone returns to Abu Dhabi after his 2018 Grand Prix debut. With massive hits like Circles, Rockstar, Jackie Chan, and the multi-platinum Sunflower, Posty’s genre-blending style promises an unforgettable Friday night show.
Elyanna
When: Friday, December 5, 2025
Sharing the Friday spotlight is Elyanna, the rising Palestinian-Chilean singer who wowed audiences at Coldplay’s Abu Dhabi concert earlier this year. Now, she’s back to join Post Malone on stage — and word has it they’ll be performing a special duet.
Metallica
When: Saturday, December 6, 2025
Get ready, rock fans — Metallica is coming in loud and proud. From Enter Sandman to Master of Puppets, their legendary catalog guarantees a night of epic headbanging. Just be sure to pace yourself… and maybe bring some earplugs (and paracetamol).
Katy Perry
When: Sunday, December 7, 2025
Closing out the weekend in true pop spectacle style, Katy Perry will take the stage on the final night. Expect a dazzling set filled with hits like Teenage Dream, Firework, Hot N Cold, and more — the perfect grand finale after a thrilling weekend of racing.
The 2025 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix isn’t just about racing it’s a full-on entertainment experience. Whether you’re here for the engines or the encores, Yas Island is the place to be this December.
