The Swedish pop sensation and Scottish singer-songwriter will kick off the entertainment lineup on Thursday, December 3, the opening night of the Formula One Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix weekend, which runs through Sunday, December 6 at the Yas Marina Circuit.
Both artists will take the stage at Etihad Park as part of the Yasalam presented by e& after-race concert series, performing separate sets to entertain fans attending the finale of the F1 season. Larsson, known for high-energy pop hits like Lush Life and Never Forget You, arrives fresh off a breakthrough year with her album Midnight Sun earning critical acclaim and major award nods.
Capaldi, celebrated for emotive ballads such as Someone You Loved and Before You Go, returns to the capital following earlier performances that drew enthusiastic crowds.
Access to the concerts is included with Abu Dhabi Grand Prix tickets, and further artists for the four-night entertainment programme are expected to be announced in the coming months, organisers said.
The Abu Dhabi Grand Prix has become a marquee global event not just for motorsport but also for world-class entertainment, blending high-speed racing with live music and fan experiences that draw visitors from around the world to the UAE capital each December.
