The Abu Dhabi Grand Prix is one of the largest live music events on the Formula 1 calendar. Concerts run each evening of race weekend, with international and regional artists performing on the main stage. Past line-ups have included Beyoncé and Guns N’ Roses, alongside other major acts.
When the concerts take place
Concerts run on the Friday, Saturday, and Sunday evenings, after the last on-track action of the day. The main acts perform at du Arena, on Yas Island.
Where the main stage is
The main stage is at du Arena, an outdoor venue located under the red canopy roof of Ferrari World. It’s a standing-only space with grass underfoot, more like a festival than a seated concert.
Who can attend
Any valid Yas Marina Circuit ticket grants you access to the concerts on the day of the concert. The concert ticket is supplied with your grandstand or General Admission tickets, and you’ll need it to enter the venue.
How to reach the arena
The easiest way to reach du Arena is on foot. Head towards Ferrari World, directly behind the North Grandstand. If you look at an aerial photo of Yas Marina Circuit, you’ll see how close it is. The arena sits just below the tip of the Ferrari badge, where the red roof is cut away.
Golden Circle access
You may see Golden Circle access offered as an upgrade. This gets you into a premium viewing area within the arena. It can usually be purchased as a separate add-on.
