The Formula 1 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix is back in Jeddah just next weekend — and it’s not just about fast cars. The post-race concerts are a big draw, and this year’s line-up is looking solid. One of the latest names added? Canadian artist PARTYNEXTDOOR, who’s set to hit the stage on Saturday, April 19.

Known for his moody R&B sound and close ties with Drake, PARTYNEXTDOOR (real name Jahron Brathwaite) first gained attention with his debut mixtape in 2013. Songs like “Break from Toronto” helped define the laid-back, emotional vibe that became the signature of Drake’s OVO Sound label, where PARTYNEXTDOOR was the first artist signed.
Over the years, he’s dropped fan-favorite projects like PARTYNEXTDOOR TWO and P3, featuring hits like “Recognize” with Drake and the Grammy-nominated “Come and See Me.” Beyond his own music, he’s written global chart-toppers like Rihanna’s “Work,” DJ Khaled’s “Wild Thoughts,” and Drake’s “Preach.”
In early 2025, he and Drake dropped a surprise joint album. It’s a smooth, late-night R&B project with standout tracks like the emotional “Gimme a Hug” and the upbeat, synth-heavy “Nokia.”
PARTYNEXTDOOR joins a strong concert line-up in Jeddah, alongside global stars like Jennifer Lopez, Usher, and Major Lazer. The concerts will take place during the Grand Prix weekend at the Jeddah Corniche Circuit — known as the fastest and longest street track in Formula 1.
Tickets for the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix 2025 are still on sale. General admission starts at SAR 100, while full weekend access to the exclusive Paddock Club goes up to AED 30,200. Concert access is included with race tickets, so fans can enjoy top-tier racing and big-name performances all in one place.
Ready for music, motorsport, and a weekend full of energy? Jeddah’s got you covered this April.
