Abu Dhabi Grand Prix 2026 concerts and after-parties: who plays which night

The Yasalam concerts are for Grand Prix ticket holders, according to The National. The Department of Culture and Tourism's release names the acts without the nights. The nights here come from The National and Fact Magazines, which give Etihad Park for some shows and Etihad Live for others, so check the venue printed on your own ticket.

Thursday 3 December: Lewis Capaldi and Zara Larsson. Friday 4 December: Alex Warren. Saturday 5 December: Imagine Dragons. Sunday 6 December: The Chainsmokers and The Script.

Anyma headlines the official after-party on Friday 4 December at Yas Gateway Park, with more artists to be announced. Like the concerts, it is reported as a Grand Prix ticket-holder event.

At 16/360 on Yas Marina Circuit, Shimza plays Friday 4 December, CamelPhat Saturday 5 December and Black Coffee Sunday 6 December. The National prints tickets from AED 1,250 per night.

The Grand Prix runs 3 to 6 December, the day after National Day, so Abu Dhabi is full. Andrea Bocelli plays Etihad Arena on 2 December if you arrive early. Plan transport for the end of each night as well as the start: the queue for taxis and shuttles can be longer than the show.

Book your room before anything else, and leave at least one evening free of the circuit.
