Get ready to Roar: Katy Perry to rock Yas Island in December concert event

Pop royalty is coming to Yas Island. Global superstar Katy Perry has been confirmed as the headliner for the final day of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix 2025, set to perform on Sunday, December 7 at Etihad Park.

This marks Perry’s return to the UAE capital after her last appearance at the same venue for a New Year’s Eve show in 2017. It’s also her first time performing at an F1 concert in the Emirates.

The chart-topping artist—known for smash hits like Roar, Firework, and Teenage Dream—joins a stellar list of previous headliners at the Grand Prix weekend, including the likes of Beyoncé, Paul McCartney, and Muse.

The Yas Marina Circuit will once again come alive with roaring engines and roaring crowds, not just for the thrilling season finale but also for a night of pop spectacle.

Fans hoping to sing along to Last Friday Night and other classics will need to secure tickets to the Grand Prix event, with demand expected to soar.

As for the rest of the entertainment lineup for race weekend? Details are still under wraps, but based on previous editions—featuring names like Eminem, Maroon 5, and Peggy Gou—it’s safe to say 2025 is shaping up to be one for the books.
