Kings of Leon will headline the 2026 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix entertainment programme, rounding out the Yasalam presented by etisalat line-up for this year's season finale at Yas Marina Circuit, which runs from December 2-6.
The GRAMMY and BRIT Award-winning band join an already stacked bill featuring Lewis Capaldi, Jennifer Lopez, Anyma, Imagine Dragons and Black Coffee, among others, across Yas Island.
Andrea Bocelli opens proceedings on December 2 with his Romanza Tour at Etihad Arena, before the After-Race Concerts kick off on Thursday with Kings of Leon and Capaldi topping the bill at Etihad Live.
Jennifer Lopez and Alex Warren perform Friday, Imagine Dragons headline Saturday after Qualifying, and The Chainsmokers and The Script close the week on Sunday night following the race.
Anyma's audiovisual show lands at Yas Gateway Park on December 4, while Shimza, CamelPhat and Black Coffee play the new 16/360 venue inside the circuit itself.
David Powell, Chief Portfolio and Strategy Officer at Ethara, said the programme has become the defining feature of the Abu Dhabi weekend.
"The Yasalam entertainment programme we produce at Ethara Live has become the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix signature, and this year's programme is our most ambitious yet," he said.
Ticket holders also get complimentary access to Qasr Al Watan, Yas Island's theme parks and Saadiyat Island's cultural sites, including the Louvre Abu Dhabi.
