Imagine Dragons have officially been confirmed as one of the major headline performers for the Formula 1 Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix after-race concert series, adding even more excitement to what is expected to be a spectacular conclusion to the 2026 Formula One season. The internationally acclaimed band will take to the Yasalam stage at Etihad Park on Saturday, December 5, delivering a headline performance as part of the highly anticipated entertainment programme surrounding the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix weekend.
Known worldwide for chart-topping hits such as Radioactive, Demons, Believer, and Thunder, Imagine Dragons are expected to attract thousands of fans from across the globe to the UAE capital. Their energetic live performances and global popularity make them one of the standout acts of the 2026 Yasalam After-Race Concert Series, which traditionally accompanies the final race weekend of the Formula One calendar.
The announcement has generated major excitement among both music lovers and motorsport fans, with organisers aiming to combine world-class racing action with premium entertainment experiences. The Abu Dhabi Grand Prix has become famous not only for its dramatic championship finales at the Yas Marina Circuit but also for hosting some of the biggest names in international music.
Imagine Dragons will join a star-studded lineup that already includes Lewis Capaldi and Zara Larsson, ensuring that fans attending the event will experience a diverse mix of musical performances throughout the race weekend. Lewis Capaldi, celebrated for emotional ballads such as Someone You Loved and Before You Go, continues to be one of the most recognisable voices in modern pop music. Meanwhile, Zara Larsson is expected to bring her signature dance-pop energy to the stage with hits including Lush Life and Symphony.
The Yasalam After-Race Concert Series has become one of the defining attractions of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix weekend over the years. Previous editions have featured globally recognised artists from a variety of genres, helping establish the event as one of the premier entertainment spectacles in international sport. The addition of Imagine Dragons further strengthens the reputation of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix as a destination capable of combining elite sporting competition with high-profile live music performances.
Fans attending the 2026 race weekend are expected to witness a memorable atmosphere both on and off the track. With the Formula One season reaching its conclusion under the lights in Abu Dhabi, organisers are preparing for another sell-out event that will showcase the city’s growing influence as a global sports and entertainment hub.
The performance by Imagine Dragons at Etihad Park is likely to become one of the standout moments of the weekend, as the band helps close out the 2026 Formula One season in front of a packed audience of international visitors and racing fans.
