Silverstone has announced the four headline acts who’ll perform at the circuit over the 2026 British Grand Prix weekend. Held over four days, from July 2-5, the event combines on-track action with world class off-track entertainment.
In 2026, Silverstone will have an eclectic mix of headliners performances from the likes of David Guetta, Richard Ashcroft, Chase & Status and Rag’n’Bone Man
UK Exclusive David Guetta Performance
Since 2023, Silverstone has hosted an Opening Concert on Thursday ahead of the race weekend, which will return once more in 2026. David Guetta was announced as the headliner back in November 2025, following in the footsteps of Calvin Harris, Kings of Leon and Sam Fender.
The British Grand Prix will mark David Guetta’s only UK performance in 2026. The French DJ will head to Silverstone after playing three nights at Stade De France, north of Paris, as part of his “Ultimate Monolith Show” tour.
Famed for hits like Titanium, Without You and When Love Takes Over, Guetta has sold over 65 million singles worldwide and has over 40 billion streams on Spotify. Crowned World’s No.1 DJ by DJ Mag, Guetta’s discography includes collaborations with Sia, Usher and Nicki Minaj.
Talking about his upcoming appearance, Guetta shared memories of his F1-inspired music video for the track Dangerous, which featured a cameo by Romain Grosjean:
“I’ve played some incredible shows around the world, but performing at Silverstone during the British Grand Prix is going to be something truly special. I’ve always been drawn to Formula 1 – the atmosphere, the adrenaline, the passion – it’s everything I love. I even made a music video inspired by F1 years ago. I can’t wait to bring my energy to the main stage and make it an unforgettable night.”
Guetta will be supported by Anne-Marie, known for songs like Alarm and 2002. A 4-day ticket – or a separate Thursday-only ticket – is required to attend the opening concert on Thursday at the British Grand Prix. A Thursday-only ticket is priced at £50 via the official Silverstone website, though fans with 3-day tickets can upgrade to a 4-day pass for an additional £30.
For the first time, tickets for Silverstone’s opening concert are also available via Ticketmaster, priced at £53.
Richard Ashcroft and Alex James Headline Friday Night
Britpop rules on Friday night at the 2026 British Grand Prix! Richard Ashcroft, frontman of chart-topping 1990s band The Verve, will be performing on the main stage after Sprint Qualifying at Silverstone.
The sole songwriter of mega hits like Bittersweet Symphony and The Drugs Don’t Work, Ashcroft heads to Silverstone after completing a headline UK tour in support of his new solo album Lovin’ You.
He’ll be joined by Alex James, the bassist of fellow 90s band Blur, who’ll be bringing a live orchestra with him for his popular BritPop Classical show, performing re-imagined versions of 90s anthems.
Chase & Status Perform Saturday
After an action-packed day on track with the Sprint race and Grand Prix qualifying, drum and bass duo Chase & Status will be headlining Silverstone’s main stage on Saturday July 4.
The Brit Award-winning act have collaborated with Rihanna, Plan B, Stormzy and Tinie Tempah and are set to bring their biggest hits to Silverstone for a high energy performance. They’ll be supported by Irish singer-songwriter and DJ Jazzy.
Rag’n’Bone Man Closes Out 2026 British Grand Prix Weekend
Human hitmaker Rag’n’Bone Man will bring the 2026 British Grand Prix weekend to a close, performing after the race on Sunday July 5. The singer-songwriter is known for other hits like All You Ever Wanted, Skin and Giant, a collaboration with Calvin Harris. Internet personality and DJ Vikkstar provides support on Sunday evening, which is also likely to include post-race appearances from the British drivers.
