Garth Brooks and Kygo to Headline 2025 United States Grand Prix

Race organisers at Circuit of The Americas have confirmed Kygo, Garth Brooks and Turnpike Troubadours as the headline performers at the 2025 United States Grand Prix.

Formula 1 heads back to Austin, Texas on October 17-19 for the 2025 United States Grand Prix at Circuit of The Americas. Ahead of the event, organisers have announced Kygo, Garth Brooks and Turnpike Troubadours as the three headline acts who’ll perform during the race weekend.

Home of Formula 1’s United States Grand Prix since 2012, the concerts have becoming a major selling point of the event weekend. Previous headline acts at COTA have included Taylor Swift, The Killers, Queen, Eminem, Billy Joel, Stevie Wonder and Britney Spears.

Friday and Saturday performances at the 2025 United States Grand Prix take place on the Germania Insurance Super Stage, located between Turns 10 and 11, while the post-race concert on Sunday takes place at the smaller Germania Insurance Ampitheater. The main performances are complemented by a range of other acts on smaller stages around the circuit throughout the weekend.

Familiar for hits like Higher Love, It Ain’t Me and Lose Somebody – collaborations with Selena Gomez, Whitney Houtson and OneRepublic respectively – the EDM superstar is no stranger to playing some of the world’s biggest stages. This will be Kygo’s second Grand Prix appearance of 2025, as he is also set to perform at May’s Miami Grand Prix.
