Jeddah is gearing up for an action-packed weekend as the Jeddah E-Prix 2025 returns on 14-15 February. This year’s event isn’t just about the high-speed Formula E races — it’s also bringing big names to the stage. One of the biggest highlights? R&B icon Akon will be performing at the Jeddah Corniche Circuit on Friday, 14 February.
Akon, known for hits like “Smack That,” “Lonely,” and “Right Now (Na Na Na),” has made a mark in the music industry with his mix of R&B, hip-hop, and pop. He has collaborated with stars like Eminem, Lady Gaga, and David Guetta and sold over 35 million albums worldwide. But his work doesn’t stop at music — he’s also an entrepreneur and philanthropist, leading projects like Akon Lighting Africa, which provides solar power to communities across Africa.

And the entertainment doesn’t stop with Akon. On Saturday, 15 February, hip-hop star Lil Baby, Egyptian group Disco Misr, and the Miami Band will take the stage, making it a weekend packed with top-tier performances.
Beyond the races and concerts, visitors can explore an interactive festival with gaming zones, a kids’ area, and more fun activities.
