Formula 1 has confirmed that world-renowned DJ David Guetta will headline the 2026 British Grand Prix.\u00a0<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Guetta said: \u201cI\u2019ve played some incredible shows around the world, but performing at Silverstone during the British Grand Prix is going to be something truly special.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve always been drawn to Formula 1 \u2013 the atmosphere, the adrenaline, the passion \u2013 it\u2019s everything I love. I even made a music video inspired by F1 years ago. I can\u2019t wait to bring my energy to the main stage and make it an unforgettable night.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fans have the opportunity to purchase tickets for the Thursday opening concert (currently priced at \u00a350), full-day Thursday tickets (currently priced at \u00a370), or four-day ticket options (currently starting at \u00a3379).<\/p>\n

Silverstone managing director Stuart Pringle has been working to bring more of a festival feel to the event.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cTo 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\u00a0Silverstone,” he told Motorsport.com in 2022.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is becoming a different sport. There’s a whole new load of people coming into it. The challenge I set our team here at\u00a0Silverstone\u00a0is how do we keep pace with that? How do we that in our own distinct style?\u00a0<\/p>\n

“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?\u00a0The answer is we make it more of a British summer festival.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou’re going to see a big upscale in the quality of the music acts over the next few years.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

The 2026 British Grand Prix will take place 3-5 July.<\/p>\n
