  • This year's lineup.

    Yas Marina Circuit announced on Monday Enrique Iglesias, Florence + the Machine and Blur as its entertainment line-up that will be playing to 60,000 race goers at this year’s 2015 Formula One Etihad Airways Grand Prix.

    Only those that have purchased a ticket from Yas Marina Circuit will be eligible to enjoy the four days of entertainment at the du Arena from Friday, November 27, Saturday, November 28, and Sunday, November 29.

    – #360view: F1 needs to end one-horse race at top
    – McLaren: Alonso ‘wants to end career’ with team
    – McLaren: Dennis adamant Button will stay on
    – Japan: Lewis Hamilton powers to Suzuka glory

    “The announcement comes on the back of very strong ticket sales to date thanks to a strong summer showing that saw massive demand from international markets,” explained Nick McElwee, Director of Sales & Marketing at Yas Marina Circuit.

    “Such global interest is largely in part to the joint efforts and support from our partners and title sponsors Etihad Airways, as well as the global presence of Abu Dhabi Tourism & Culture Authority.

    “Even though capacity remains at 60,000 – the same as 2014 – interest in the UAE’s biggest and best sporting and entertainment weekend has proven even greater than last year with a record, sell out weekend expected once again.”

    The after race concerts are seen as a core part of Yas Marina Circuit’s offering by its organisers.

    Yas Marina Circuit also announced that a few lucky fans will be able to win tickets by tuning in to the circuit’s social media platforms and joining the #AbuDhabiGP activations.
