ABU DHABI (ALETIHAD)

The next Abu Dhabi Grand Prix has been set for December 3 to 6 — 10 months away — but tickets are already flying faster than a Formula 1 racecar — so to avoid the disappointment of missing the spectacular 2026 season finale at Yas Marina Circuit, make sure to be in pole position for the hottest ticket in town.

Tickets went on sale on Wednesday, and can be booked via the official www.abudhabigp.com website.

The news was followed by the announcement that international music stars Lewis Capaldi and Zara Larsson have been confirmed for the opening night of race weekend.

The duo will perform on Thursday, December 3, getting the much-anticipated After-Race Concerts off to a flying start.

Scottish superstar Lewis Capaldi, known for emotion-driven hits like “Someone You Loved” and “Before You Go”, will make his highly anticipated return to the Etihad Park.

He will be joined by Swedish pop sensation Larsson, who arrives in Abu Dhabi fresh off a breakthrough year that saw her fifth album Midnight Sun gaining critical acclaim and her first Grammy nod. With her powerful vocals and viral dance moves, Larsson will perform chart-topping hits like “Lush Life” and “Never Forget You”.

The Yasalam After-Race Concerts are exclusive to Abu Dhabi Grand Prix ticket-holders, who have an option to upgrade to Golden Circle to guarantee up-close access to the stage.

Following a record-breaking 339,000 fans attending the 2025 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, the award-winning management team at Ethara has confirmed that tickets are experiencing unprecedented demand. A significant share of tickets has already been purchased by pre-registered fans, with limited availability remaining across multiple categories.

Besides the After-Race Concerts, Abu Dhabi Grand Prix tickets grant complimentary access to Yas Island theme parks and Abu Dhabi’s architectural and artistic landmarks: Qasr Al Watan, Louvre Abu Dhabi, Natural History Museum Abu Dhabi, Zayed National Museum, and teamLab Phenomena.

David Powell, Chief Strategy & 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.”
