Abu Dhabi Grand Prix 2026: Star-Studded Race-Day Concert with The Chainsmokers and The Script at Etihad Live
The upcoming Abu Dhabi Grand Prix will feature a star-studded race-day concert with performances by The Chainsmokers and The Script at Etihad Live on December 6. This concert will close out the four-night after-race concert series following the Formula One season finale at Yas Marina Circuit. Joining them on the lineup are Lewis Capaldi and Zara Larsson on December 3, and Imagine Dragons on December 5. The act for the concert on December 4 will be announced soon.
The Script, led by Danny O’Donoghue, will be showcasing their new album, "The User’s Guide to Being Human," which was released this month. Known for hits like "Breakeven" and "Hall of Fame," The Script's return to the UAE follows their last performance in Dubai in 2025. The band's emotional connection with their audience has deepened over the years, especially after the passing of guitarist Mark Sheehan in 2023.
The Chainsmokers, consisting of Andrew Taggart and Alex Pall, have also been busy with new music releases this year. Their EP "Love Is Kind," featuring tracks like "Echo" and "Already Know," was released in May. The duo gained fame with their hit "#Selfie" in 2014 and have since produced chart-topping songs like "Closer" and "Something Just Like This."
Last year's Abu Dhabi Grand Prix drew a record 339,000 fans over four days, with 136,000 attendees enjoying the after-race concerts and official after-parties. Access to the concerts is exclusive to Abu Dhabi Grand Prix ticket holders, making it a must-attend event for both racing and music enthusiasts alike.
