The organisers of the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix have announced a star-studded line-up for a music concert that will accompany the weekend’s Formula 1 action.
A concert, free to enter for all F1 ticket holders, will be held on both the Saturday and Sunday following the conclusion of qualifying and the race respectively.
They will take place on the Main Stage in the Fanzone of the under-construction Jeddah Corniche Circuit, which will debut on the F1 calendar on December 5th.
Playing on the Saturday will be Jason Derulo and DJ, Tiësto, with Sunday’s concert headlined by Justin Bieber, A$AP Rocky and David Guetta.
“The Saudi Arabian Grand Prix is set to be the biggest and best sporting and entertainment event ever hosted in the Kingdom and as such, it was important that we deliver a weekend of entertainment unlike any that has been seen before in Saudi Arabia,” said HRH Prince Khalid bin Sultan Al-Abdullah Al-Faisal, Chairman of the Saudi Automobile & Motorcycle Federation.
“By confirming Justin Bieber, A$AP Rocky & David Guetta as the headline acts to close out the inaugural Saudi Arabian F1 weekend – a day after Jason Derulo and Tiësto deliver their extraordinary live shows – we believe we have achieved this goal. These global megastars are rightly considered to be some of the most electrifying and influential voices in music and we can’t wait to see them bring their incredible live performances to our Main Stage in December.
“After each day of breath-taking racing on track, these spectacular concerts will be the perfect way for attending fans to release their adrenaline and celebrate the arrival of F1 in Saudi Arabia in style. Don’t miss out, get your tickets now and we’ll see you in Jeddah very soon!”
Concerts have become increasingly popular for F1 race promoters to boost ticket sales over a weekend, with Singapore, the United States and Abu Dhabi doing something similar.
