They’ll take to the stage on the opening night, with tickets now officially on sale.
The Formula 1 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix will return to Yas Marina Circuit from 3 to 6 December 2026, and the first artists confirmed for the official after-race concerts have been announced by Ethara.
Lewis Capaldi and Zara Larsson will both perform on Thursday, 3 December, opening the Yasalam After-Race Concerts programme.
Scottish singer-songwriter Lewis Capaldi is known for chart-topping singles including Someone You Loved, Before You Go, Survive and Almost. The upcoming show marks his second appearance in Abu Dhabi this year, following his performance at Saadiyat Nights in January.
Also confirmed is Swedish pop artist Zara Larsson, whose hits include Lush Life and Never Forget You. In recent months, she has seen renewed global attention after a viral resurgence of Lush Life across social media platforms.
The Yasalam After-Race Concerts form part of the e& entertainment programme during the Grand Prix weekend. Access to the concerts is exclusive to Abu Dhabi Grand Prix ticket holders. Previous performers have included Katy Perry, Metallica, AC/DC, The Weeknd and Post Malone.
David Powell, chief strategy and business development officer at Ethara, said: “The 2025 edition of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix was extraordinary. We welcomed more fans than ever, staged the biggest entertainment programme and, for the first time, were named F1 Promoter of the Year by Formula One Management, the most prestigious recognition in our industry.
“With tickets already recording unprecedented demand and two fantastic artists announced, we are set for another incredible year. As the region’s premier sport and entertainment event, we are committed to raising the bar each year and look forward to welcoming fans from around the world to Abu Dhabi for an unforgettable F1 season finale.”
