Formula 1 has confirmed that world-renowned DJ David Guetta will headline the 2026 British Grand Prix.
Taking place on the Thursday evening, the performance will form part of the Frenchman’s global MONOLITH tour next summer, and will also be his only UK performance.
Guetta said: “I’ve played some incredible shows around the world, but performing at Silverstone during the British Grand Prix is going to be something truly special.
“I’ve always been drawn to Formula 1 – the atmosphere, the adrenaline, the passion – it’s everything I love. I even made a music video inspired by F1 years ago. I can’t wait to bring my energy to the main stage and make it an unforgettable night.”
Fans have the opportunity to purchase tickets for the Thursday opening concert (currently priced at £50), full-day Thursday tickets (currently priced at £70), or four-day ticket options (currently starting at £379).
Silverstone managing director Stuart Pringle has been working to bring more of a festival feel to the event.
“To recognise that in Miami and with Las Vegas coming online, there is an expectation to a level of entertainment that is something that has not previously been seen at Silverstone,” he told Motorsport.com in 2022.

“It is becoming a different sport. There’s a whole new load of people coming into it. The challenge I set our team here at Silverstone is how do we keep pace with that? How do we that in our own distinct style?
“How do we do that in our own way without becoming some homogenised American-based product, but we keep the unique identity of the British Grand Prix? The answer is we make it more of a British summer festival.
“You’re going to see a big upscale in the quality of the music acts over the next few years.”
The 2026 British Grand Prix will take place 3-5 July.
