Yasalam schedules Imagine Dragons after qualifying
The Abu Dhabi Grand Prix’s Yasalam programme runs from 2 to 6 December 2026, with concerts across Yas Island. The official Formula 1 line-up identifies Imagine Dragons as Saturday’s headliner and places the set after qualifying.
The booking is part of the After-Race Concerts rather than a standalone tour stop. The official Abu Dhabi Grand Prix page places the performance on the Yasalam stage at Etihad Live, formerly Etihad Park.
Imagine Dragons bring arena rock to Yasalam
A Ticketmaster band overview describes Imagine Dragons as a Las Vegas rock band led by Dan Reynolds. The group’s sound combines broad rock choruses with electronic production and pop songwriting.
The catalogue includes Night Visions, Evolve, Origins, Mercury - Acts 1 & 2 and Loom. That history connects the Abu Dhabi booking with a live identity built around songs that can move between rock and pop settings.
Yasalam places the concert in a wider programme
The festival line-up also includes Andrea Bocelli, Kings of Leon, Lewis Capaldi, Jennifer Lopez, Alex Warren, The Chainsmokers, The Script, Black Coffee, CamelPhat, Shimza and Anyma. The names represent several strands of international live music across Abu Dhabi Grand Prix week.
The announcement highlights Believer, Thunder and Whatever It Takes among the songs associated with the performance. These titles connect the festival appearance with the band’s established concert repertoire.
