The Formula 1 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix 2025 is turning into one of the most music-packed weekends of the year. Just when it seemed the Yasalam After-Race Concerts lineup was complete, organisers have announced a new addition: Elyanna will take the stage on Friday, December 5.
The Palestinian-Chilean singer, known for her genre-bending sound that blends Arabic music with Latin beats, is no stranger to the UAE. Earlier this year, she opened for Coldplay at their sold-out shows in Zayed Sports City Stadium — performing to over 200,000 fans. She also made history as the first artist to sing in Arabic at Coachella.
Elyanna’s self-titled EP has amassed over 100 million streams, and her growing international fanbase is a testament to her unique style and cross-cultural appeal. This December, she will be sharing the spotlight with Post Malone in a double-headliner performance at the 2025 F1 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
This puts Elyanna in impressive company: the full concert lineup now features Benson Boone on Thursday, Metallica on Saturday, and Katy Perry on Sunday. All after-race concerts are exclusive to F1 ticket holders.
Whether you’re coming for the race or the rhythm — or both — the start of December 2025 promises a packed programme of high-speed excitement and global music talent in the capital.
