Lights out: Saudi Arabian Grand Prix concerts have been announced

Saudi Arabian Grand Prix

It’s lights out and away we go.

The Jeddah Corniche Circuit is about to come alive with roaring engines and rubber burning as the world’s best drivers return for the Formula 1 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix in 2025.

Previously, the dates and tickets for the high-octane event had been announced and now the Saudi Arabian Grand concert line-up has also dropped.

The fastest street track in the world, the Jeddah Grand Prix is one of the five night races on the calendar and has the drivers navigating the narrow twists and low-speed turns with expert maneuvering.

Undercuts, dirty-air, and marbling galore, the three-day event starts with media day on Friday and ends with zooming action on Sunday.

So grab your phones and start booking. We are about to go racing once again.

One of the newest race weekends to be added to the Formula 1 calendar, the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix has always been one of the more dramatic races of the season. In 2021, the Grand Prix served as one of the last wins for Lewis Hamilton and the pod-concept Mercedes.

In 2024, it served as the F1 debut of 18-year-old Ollie Bearman when he stepped in to replace Carlos Sainz Jr. who was recovering from a major surgery. Bearman finished seventh in Sainz’ Ferrari after nearly clipping the boundary wall in qualifying.
