Abu Dhabi F1 2026: Dates, Lineup & Schedule | Live Fiesta

Abu Dhabi Grand Prix 2026: Racing, Headline Concerts & Your Yas Island Guide

Some weekends deserve more than a calendar entry. The Abu Dhabi Grand Prix brings together Formula 1, live music, and a December getaway on Yas Island. Come for the racing, stay for the concerts, and build a trip around the moments you want to experience in person.

The Formula 1 Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix 2026 race weekend runs from 4–6 December at Yas Marina Circuit. The wider Grand Prix entertainment programme begins earlier, with Yasalam After-Race Concerts running from 3–6 December.

Why put Abu Dhabi F1 on your December calendar?

The appeal goes beyond the chequered flag. Build your days around track sessions and your evenings around live performances, so everyone in your group has something to look forward to. For motorsport fans, it is the final race weekend of the 2026 season. For music fans, the concert programme makes the trip an experience of its own.

Choose your priorities before booking: the track view you want, the concert nights you care about, and how much time you want to spend exploring Abu Dhabi. A little planning makes it easier to enjoy the weekend without rushing between venues.

More music during Abu Dhabi Grand Prix week

The wider Yasalam programme also features Andrea Bocelli at Etihad Arena on 2 December, and Anyma presents ÆDEN at Yas Gateway Park on 4 December. At 16/360, the announced DJ programme features Shimza on Friday, CamelPhat on Saturday and Black Coffee on Sunday.

These are distinct experiences. Check the booking terms for each rather than assuming they are included with your race ticket.

Tickets and access: what to check before booking

Start with the dates you want to attend, then compare the access included in each ticket. General admission to the Yasalam After-Race Concerts is exclusive to Abu Dhabi GP ticket holders. Golden Circle upgrades are offered for closer stage access and additional benefits, subject to the selected product’s terms.

Confirm your eligible concert nights, race seating, entry requirements, and any upgrades before paying. Prices and stock vary by category; use the live booking page for current availability.
