Lewis Capaldi and Zara Larsson will perform on the first night of the race-day concert series at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix on December 3. The following night, Imagine Dragons will take the stage on December 5. The finale concert on December 6 will feature The Chainsmokers and The Script.

The Script, led by Danny O’Donoghue, released their eighth studio album, The User’s Guide to Being Human, earlier this month. The album includes the single Man in the Arena. Returning to the UAE stage, O’Donoghue emphasized the emotional significance of reconnecting with fans, stating that their music has provided comfort to those in need.

The Abu Dhabi Grand Prix is expected to draw a record-breaking 339,000 fans over four days, with 136,000 attending the after-race performances and official after-parties.
