When is the F1 Grand Prix Abu Dhabi 2022?

The Formula 1 Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix is happening from Thursday November 17 to Sunday November 20. It’s one of the biggest weekends of the year, and as always, there’s certain to be loads of action and excitement on and off the Yas Marina Circuit.

What is the new Abu Dhabi Grand Prix grandstand?

For the first time in eight years, the Yas Marina Circuit capacity is increasing to accommodate more spectators with a brand-new grandstand. The new structure will be built near the current North Grandstand by turns five and six. The new Abu Dhabi Grand Prix grandstand is being built specifically for 2022 and will give viewers a prime seat as cars speed by on the circuit’s longest straight. Vroom, vroom.

Additionally, Etihad Park is a short walk away from the new grandstand, providing easy access to the Yasalam After-Race Concerts.

Who is performing for the F1 Abu Dhabi 2022 Yasalam after-race concerts?

Swedish House Mafia is the first headlining act announced for the 2022 F1 Yasalam after-race concerts in Abu Dhabi. Mark your cards because the group will be performing on Friday November 18 and are the first act announced for the concerts. Last year the capital saw Lewis Capaldi, Khalid, Stormzy and Martin Garrix and DJ Snake and we’re sure F1 Abu Dhabi 2022 will bring an equally exciting line-up.

Kendrick Lamar will be headlining the Saturday Yasalam after-race concert on Saturday November 19. Ticket holders will get the chance to see the multi-Platinum Grammy-award winning artist on stage at Etihad Park. Get ready to scream the lyrics to hits such as “Humble”, “Wesley’s Theory” and “Die Hard”.

Lamar has accumulated a staggering 14 Grammy wins and was the first non-classical, non-jazz musician to win a Pulitzer Prize for his 2017 album. Lamar’s latest album, Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers, was released in May 2022 and earned rave reviews.
