Swedish House Mafia announced as Abu Dhabi GP headliners

Multi-Grammy nominated Swedish House Mafia are the first global superstars to be announced, headlining the Friday night Yasalam After-Race Concert at the Etihad Airways Formula 1 Grand Prix.

Access to the concerts is exclusively for Abu Dhabi Grand Prix ticket holders. Early Grand Prix ticket purchasers will also be able to secure Golden Circle tickets to get the best possible front row experience at the Etihad Park.

John Lickrish, CEO, Flash Entertainment, says it's set to be another world-class experience.

“Announcing Swedish House Mafia as our first confirmed artist for the four-day festival is testament to our commitment to deliver the level of performer fans have come to expect from this special weekend, and with more superstar acts to be announced shortly, we urge fans to book their tickets now before they sell out.”

The Swedish House Mafia trio of Steve Angello, Sebastian Ingrosso, and Axwell produce house music infused with swaggering hip-hop beat-craft, rock ‘n’ roll attitude, and big screen-worthy grandeur.

SHM are due to release their full-length debut album Paradise Again [Republic Records] in April 2022, building a perfect lead up to their November show in Abu Dhabi.

The history-making 2021 race was one of the most watched sporting events of the year with 108 million viewers tuning in for the title-deciding finale around the new layout at Yas Marina Circuit. The 2022 season got underway in Bahrain earlier this month, promising similar drama and action with new rules creating a new generation of cars and new battles on the track.

Alongside four-days of adrenaline-fueled entertainment, ticket holders can look forward to the thrills of live action at Yas Marina Circuit, the fun-filled adventures of Yas Island and the Yasalam After-Race Concerts – which will once again take place at Etihad Park.

This year’s race weekend takes place from November 17-20 at Yas Marina Circuit, with the 2022 F1 season-finale Grand Prix following an action-packed four days of entertainment and racing action. Early ticket purchasers can book in April with an early bird discount of up to 30 per cent off selected tickets at www.yasmarinacircuit.com.
