American singer and actress Jennifer Lopez will headline the Formula 1 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix concert on Friday, December 4, performing alongside rising US singer Alex Warren at the open-air Etihad Live venue on Yas Island. Organisers announced her appearance on Wednesday, October 21, completing the line-up for all four nights of the post-race concerts.

The Abu Dhabi Grand Prix will take place at Yas Marina Circuit from December 3 to 6 as the final round of the 2026 Formula 1 season. The post-race concerts, part of the Yasalam entertainment programme, will begin on Thursday, December 3, with performances by Lewis Capaldi and Zara Larsson. Imagine Dragons will perform on Saturday, December 5, while The Chainsmokers and The Script will close the programme on Sunday, December 6, the main race day.

Concert admission is available only to Abu Dhabi Grand Prix ticket holders, with four-day ticket holders granted general access on all four nights. Fans seeking the closest view of the stage must purchase separate Golden Circle access. The four-night Golden Circle package is listed as sold out on the Grand Prix’s official website.

David Powell, Chief Portfolio and Strategy Officer at Ethara Live, which organises the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, described Lopez as one of the entertainment world’s most iconic figures. He said her ability to connect with audiences across generations made her the ideal choice for the Friday concert. Powell added that this year’s Yasalam programme once again brings together some of the world’s biggest artists.

The concert will mark Lopez’s third Abu Dhabi performance in less than two years. According to The National, her February 2025 Saadiyat Nights concert sold out, while her performance five months later at Etihad Arena, part of her international Up All Night tour, drew more than 14,000 fans. Lopez also headlined the post-race concert at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix in Jeddah in April 2025, marking her first performance at a Formula One event since the 2014 Singapore Grand Prix.

The December 4 concert will mark Alex Warren’s UAE debut. The singer-songwriter rose to global fame with “Ordinary”, which spent 10 weeks at the top of the Billboard Hot 100. Warren was nominated for Best New Artist at the 2026 Grammy Awards, while his latest album, “Wildchild”, is scheduled for release in August 2026.
