Two popular entertainers are landing in Sin City this fall as headliners for the Heineken Silver Stage at the Formula 1 Las Vegas Grand Prix. Shaggy and Dillon Francis have been announced as performers for this year’s race party, which takes place November 20-22, 2025.

In addition to the headliners, other supporting acts include Jazzy, BANDABBA, AWAKENING, Jabbawockeez and more. Fans will also have a glimpse of all 20 Formula 1 drivers with engagements all weekend through Q&A sessions and autograph opportunities.

“The Heineken Silver Stage has become a staple of race weekend, mixing the entertainment Las Vegas has become known for along with appearances from the drivers who make the magic happen on the track,” shares Emily Prazer, President and CEO of Las Vegas Grand Prix, Inc.

Shaggy, the Grammy-award winning artist with Billboard chart-topping hits — and the only diamond-selling dancehall artist in history — has remained a cultural force within music and entertainment, continuing to produce viral hits, and even appearing in a Super Bowl commercial a couple years back.

Francis, meantime, says he “could not be more excited” to perform on the Heineken stage, adding that “Shaggy is a f-cking legend.”

The LA-based DJ and producer is no stranger to playing to big crowds, and even had a longstanding residency at Wynn Las Vegas. And his track, “Still Not Butter,” was featured in the official trailer for the F1 Manager 2022 video game. The artist has now come full circle with his upcoming F1 performance.

“It was a great way to flex on my friends when we were playing [the video game],” Francis tells Rolling Stone. “[It is] super cool to think that I helped soundtrack countless races for F1 fans around the world. I can’t wait to bring that to the real-world and help soundtrack the fans’ experiences at the race.”

While Francis isn’t revealing his set plans just yet, he does share that he’s “been tapping into my love for pop-punk and reggaeton” recently. Perhaps a teaser of what to expect?
