Imagine Dragons will headline the Abu Dhabi F1 Grand Prix after-race concert at Etihad Park in Abu Dhabi on 5 December 2026. The performance is part of the Yasalam programme surrounding the season-ending race weekend at Yas Marina Circuit.
Yasalam schedules the Abu Dhabi after-race concert
An Abu Dhabi announcement identifies the band as the Saturday headliner at Etihad Park. The official race-week schedule places Imagine Dragons at the Yasalam After-Race Concert on 5 December 2026.
The four-night programme runs from 3 to 6 December 2026 alongside the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix at Yas Marina Circuit. Lewis Capaldi and Zara Larsson are scheduled for the opening concert programme on 3 December 2026, giving the weekend a multi-artist live music structure.
Imagine Dragons connect pop-rock songs with Abu Dhabi
Imagine Dragons are a US pop-rock band fronted by Dan Reynolds. The concert announcement names Believer, Radioactive, Demons and Thunder among the songs associated with the group.
The National describes the band’s large-scale live presentation through heavy percussion and immersive visuals. That production language connects the Abu Dhabi appearance with a concert programme designed to sit alongside the visual spectacle of Formula 1.
Yasalam places the Abu Dhabi show inside race weekend
The Saturday booking combines the group’s after-race performance with qualifying and other motorsport activity at Yas Marina Circuit on 5 December 2026. Etihad’s event information places Etihad Park on Yas Island and identifies the North Grandstand as a short walk from the after-race concerts.
The programme therefore gives Imagine Dragons a defined place within the Abu Dhabi weekend rather than an undated touring listing. The venue, city and concert series are all named in the published schedule.
