Imagine Dragons have been confirmed as the latest headliners for the 2026 Formula 1 Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix after-race concerts, with the Grammy-winning Las Vegas band set to perform at Etihad Park on Saturday 5 December.
The announcement adds another major international act to this year’s Yasalam entertainment lineup, alongside Lewis Capaldi and Zara Larsson, who are already confirmed for the Thursday night concert on 3 December.
Imagine Dragons return to Abu Dhabi for Formula 1 weekend
The band, made up of Dan Reynolds, Wayne Sermon, Ben McKee and Daniel Platzman, first broke through globally with their 2012 debut album Night Visions.
That record featured the hit single Radioactive, which spent more than 80 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 and earned the group a Grammy Award for Best Rock Performance.
Since then, Imagine Dragons have sold more than 75 million records worldwide and become one of the most commercially successful rock bands of the past decade. Their most recent global run, the Loom World Tour, supported their sixth studio album and attracted around 2.2 million fans across 94 shows worldwide.
Abu Dhabi Grand Prix concerts included with race tickets
Access to the Yasalam after-race concerts is included with all Formula 1 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix tickets, including general admission, grandstand and hospitality packages.
Ticket prices currently start from AED 995, while fans wanting closer access to the stage can purchase Golden Circle upgrades.
The concerts take place at Etihad Park as part of the wider Formula 1 race weekend at Yas Marina Circuit on Yas Island.
Formula 1 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix returns in December
The 2026 Formula 1 Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix marks the 18th edition of the event and runs from Thursday 3 December to Sunday 6 December.
Organisers said more artists will still be announced for the remaining concert nights.
Last year’s Abu Dhabi Grand Prix attracted a record 339,000 attendees across the race weekend, including more than 136,000 fans attending the after-race concerts and official after-parties.
