The 2025 FORMULA 1 HEINEKEN LAS VEGAS GRAND PRIX is set to transform the city into a global stage for entertainment, seamlessly blending the thrill of high-speed racing with major music headliners, unique media broadcasts, and community-focused educational events. The entire race weekend is saturated with high-voltage activities for every type of visitor, from the committed sports fan to the general public.
Star-Studded Performances on the Grid
The Grand Prix is hosting an unparalleled musical showcase on the Grid on Saturday, November 22nd, featuring a diverse array of global stars performing pre and post-race. Ticket holders in premium areas like the Main Grandstand and Paddock Club will witness performances from artists like country superstar Kane Brown, leading the pre-race entertainment, and pop favorite Louis Tomlinson performing an exclusive set after the Drivers’ Parade. The electronic music scene is represented by Las Vegas resident Steve Aoki and the legendary Kaskade, who will close out the night. The lineup further includes DJ Pee.Wee (the alter-ego of Anderson .Paak) and the Country x EDM blend of VAVO.
Emily Prazer, President and CEO of Las Vegas Grand Prix, Inc., summarized the atmosphere: “Las Vegas has always been a global stage for entertainment, and this year’s Grid lineup reflects that energy.” Beyond the main stage, the Paddock Club offers intimate entertainment from local Las Vegas headliners, including mentalist Colin Cloud and magicians Mat Franco and Piff the Magic Dragon. The musical footprint expands to multiple stages across the circuit, with T-Pain, MGK, and Zedd headlining the T-Mobile Zone at Sphere Stage, and Shaggy and Dillon Francis leading the Heineken® Stage. Wynn Nightlife is also contributing to the weekend’s climax, hosting the official Grand Prix after party at XS Nightclub on Saturday with an exclusive ODESZA DJ set and The Chainsmokers performing on Friday.
