Abu Dhabi’s Formula 1 weekend is adding serious rock-star energy this year, with Imagine Dragons officially confirmed as the Saturday night headliner for the Formula 1 Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix After-Race Concerts.

The Grammy-winning band will take over Etihad Park on Yas Island on December 5, bringing a setlist packed with stadium anthems including Believer, Radioactive, Thunder and Demons.

For fans, it means one thing: one of the biggest weekends in the UAE is about to get even bigger.

Known for explosive live performances and massive crowd sing-alongs, Imagine Dragons have become one of the world’s most recognisable arena bands over the past decade. Their Abu Dhabi appearance will form part of the Yasalam entertainment programme.

And this is only part of the lineup.

Lewis Capaldi and Zara Larsson are already confirmed to perform on Thursday, December 3, with organisers teasing more international acts in the coming weeks as Abu Dhabi prepares to close the 2026 Formula 1 season in style.

The concerts are included with Abu Dhabi Grand Prix tickets, although fans wanting front-row access can upgrade to Golden Circle passes.

The 2026 Formula 1 Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix will run from December 3 to 6 at Yas Marina Circuit, and if Imagine Dragons are anything to go by, the city is already preparing for one of its loudest F1 finales.
