Global chart-toppers Florence + The Machine and iconic British band Blur will join Iglesias as part of the Yasalam After-Race Concert line up during the race weekend from November 27 to 29, it was revealed at the launch of #Yasalam2015 on Monday.

The best-selling Latin recording artist in music history with more than 137 million album sales worldwide, Iglesias (#EnriqueAtF1) is billed to regale fans at the du Arena on Friday November 27.

Florence + The Machine (#FlorenceAtF1) will  fill the du Arena with awe-inspiring vocals and powerful rhythms on Saturday.

One of the most successful British bands of the last two decades, Blur (#blurAtF1) who are back with their UK  No, 1 album ‘The Magic Whip’ will take the stage on Sunday night to bring the curtain down in a grand finale to the race weekend.

These celebrated artists from across the region will inaugurate an entertainment packed #AbuDhabiGP weekend for the third year running.

Now in its seventh year, the Yasalam festival, produced and orchestrated by Flash Entertainment - is set to deliver seven weeks of music, entertainment, health, community and UAE culture celebrations.

The Yasalam festival will contain three segments: Live across the City, Live on the Corniche and Live on Yas.


Ahead of the track festivities, the Abu Dhabi Corniche will be lit up with family fun before the concerts with the return of the F1 FanZone™, creative crowd-pleaser Urban Art Zone and the Opening Parade, where youngest fans can show off their design talent as they walk the Abu Dhabi Corniche boardwalk to officially kick-off the festival on November 19.

Free classes will take place across the city from October 6 to November 19 in the third annual Get Driver Fit (#GDF2015) programme which will culminate with the Obstacle Course Challenge on the Abu Dhabi Corniche from November 19 to 22.

Race ticket holders will have access to the After-Race Concerts on the same date of the purchased race ticket.
