British rapper Stormzy will join the star-studded line-up of Yasalam after-race concerts at the Formula 1 Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.

The critically acclaimed artist will headline Friday night's concert on December 10.

Singers Khalid and Lewis Capaldi were already confirmed to headline Thursday and Saturday night shows. 

With the updated government regulations, Etihad Park will return to full capacity for the concerts.

"The inclusion of cultural icon Stormzy in our line-up just goes to show that Abu Dhabi truly is the pinnacle for sport and entertainment events in the region and is unrivalled globally, something which we’re incredibly proud of," said Al Tareq Al Ameri, CEO of Abu Dhabi Motorsports Management.

The platinum-certified rapper has consistently risen to international stardom since his emergence in 2013 and his breakthrough album Gang Signs & Prayer topped the UK charts in 2017, winning British Album of the Year at the 2018 Brit Awards.

"We were eager to come back really strong following last year’s break in Yasalam After-Race Concerts, and with Stormzy now confirmed alongside Khalid on Thursday and Lewis Capaldi on Saturday, we are once again guaranteeing our fans unmissable experiences," said John Lickrish, CEO of Flash Entertainment.

Following recent government updates, capacity at Yas Marina Circuit has increased allowing for additional fans to get in on the action taking place from December 9-12.

New tickets are available across the categories including one-day tickets and the circuit’s world-class hospitality packages.
