David Powell, Chief Portfolio & Strategy Officer at Ethara Live, said: “There is nothing quite like Sunday at the Yasalam After-Race Concerts. The excitement of the final race carries straight into Etihad Live, where thousands of fans come together for the F1 season finale celebration. The Chainsmokers have brought their incredible energy to stages across the globe including the main stage at Tomorrowland earlier this year, whilst The Script will bring their signature catalogue of songs which have sold out international arenas such as Co-op Live in Manchester and The O2 in London as part of their world tour. Together, they give fans two completely different live experiences and a brilliant finale to race week in Abu Dhabi.”

The two international follow Lewis Capaldi and Zara Larsson, performing on Thursday, December 3, and Imagine Dragons, performing on Saturday, December 5. More acts are expected to be announced soon.

 Access to the After-Race Concerts is exclusive to Abu Dhabi Grand Prix ticket holders.
