Def Leppard, Dave confirmed for F1 Abu Dhabi after-race concerts

Hall of Fame rock legends Def Leppard and UK rapper Dave have been added to the line-up for the Yasalam After-Race Concerts at the Formula 1 Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.

They join multi-Platinum, Grammy-award-winning artist Kendrick Lamar, and multi-Grammy nominated hip hop trio Swedish House Mafia. 

Dave will thrill the crowds on Thursday, November 17, at Etihad Park, while Def Leppard will bring the curtain down on Sunday, November 20.

The news comes as the Middle East’s biggest entertainment weekend prepares to host its largest-ever number of racegoers – 70,000 fans – and once again bring the world to the UAE.

Access to the concerts is exclusively for Abu Dhabi Grand Prix ticket holders.

While unprecedented global demand has seen all 2022 Grand Prix tickets sold out, limited Golden Circle access is still available, providing the best possible access closest to the stage at Etihad Park.

"Perfectly complimenting the on-track action, the off-track entertainment has something to offer a range of racegoers and we are sure that the 14th edition of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix will allow visitors from around the world to make some very special memories," said Saif Al Noaimi, CEO, Abu Dhabi Motorsports Management.
