F1 Las Vegas GP amps up the party: Star-studded music lineup set to transform race weekend

Machine Gun Kelly, T-Pain and Zedd headline an electrifying entertainment program as Formula 1 promises a sensory spectacle

-

The F1 Las Vegas GP is about to deliver an experience that stretches far beyond the confines of the racetrack, with a music lineup primed to rival the city’s famous nightlife. This November, as the Strip is transformed into the heart of global motorsport, some of the biggest names in the music industry, including Machine Gun Kelly, T-Pain and Zedd, are set to ignite the T-Mobile Zone at Sphere and turn the event into a full-scale entertainment festival.

For those heading to the Las Vegas Grand Prix, it’s clear the action won’t be limited to DRS zones and pit stops. With Formula 1’s own promotion arm steering the show, fans are promised a fusion of world-class racing and show-stopping live performances—a formula designed to keep the adrenaline pumping from the paddock to the party.

Alongside the marquee headliners, fans can expect performances from Sofi Tukker, Jess Glynne, and Cassian, bringing a blend of chart-topping hits and festival energy to the weekend. The choice of talent reflects Las Vegas’ reputation as the entertainment capital of the world, with F1 determined to raise the bar on what a Grand Prix weekend can offer.

“Las Vegas is an entertainment hub within itself, so it was only fitting to bring together some of the music industry’s best to create an unmatched concert experience for race weekend,” said Las Vegas Grand Prix CEO Emily Prazer. She described the weekend as “immersive,” combining the cutting-edge visuals of the Exosphere with the drama of Formula 1.

Headliners Bring Star Power

For Machine Gun Kelly, the world of F1 isn’t new. He previously performed at the F1 75 livery reveal in London, making headlines for his unpredictable on-stage antics. The American rapper has even found himself at the center of viral F1 moments, including a memorable encounter with Martin Brundle on the grid in Brazil.

Zedd brings both musical pedigree and a well-known friendship with McLaren’s Lando Norris to the event. He’s become a fixture in the paddock, openly sharing how Netflix’s Drive to Survive drew him into the sport and how he considers Norris “my best friend in F1… I’ll always have his back.”

For T-Pain, a newcomer to the F1 concert scene, the connection to racing is real. His surprise appearance at the Miami Grand Prix’s Carbone Beach party hinted at a growing fascination with the sport’s spectacle and energy. As Grammy winners and international superstars, these artists are expected to turn the T-Mobile Zone into a nightlife hotspot worthy of the Strip’s glitziest clubs.

Turning Las Vegas into F1’s Ultimate Party

Formula 1’s return to Las Vegas already stood out as a highlight on the calendar, but with this music lineup, the event looks set to break new ground for off-track entertainment. The unique partnership with Sphere means fans will experience performances with the Exosphere as a high-tech backdrop, merging live music, visuals, and the roar of F1 engines in the city that never sleeps.

As the countdown to November continues, it’s clear the F1 Las Vegas GP aims to deliver more than just a race. With Machine Gun Kelly, T-Pain, and Zedd among the acts ready to take the stage, the city’s famous lights will have some serious competition from the grand prix’s showbiz sparkle.
