The full four nights of world-class music entertainment will take place at the du Arena, Yas Island, at the 2017 FORMULA 1 ETIHAD AIRWAYS ABU DHABI GRAND PRIX.

It was announced that on Saturday 25th November, the UK-based alternative rock band Mumford & Sons are confirmed to play. The band will put on an amazing show, having mastered the art of entertaining large crowds while headlining at Glastonbury Festival and playing to 65,000 people at Hyde Park. The group will get the crowd going with favourites such as 'Believe' 'The Wolf' 'The Cave', 'I Will Wait' and 'Little Lion Man'.

Their three previous studio albums took the UK and US charts by storm, and Mumford & Sons have garnered a raft of major music awards throughout their career, including 'Best British Band' at the Brit Awards, and a coveted Grammy Award for 'Album of the Year'.

Al Tareq Al Ameri, CEO of Yas Marina Circuit, said: "Today's announcement starts the run-in to this year's Abu Dhabi Grand Prix and we can feel the excitement starting to build already.

"With the latest artist announced, we have lined up four days of outstanding entertainment for the thousands of people attending from more than 170 countries. This year, we have also introduced new initiatives to raise the experience level to new heights, with the addition of Kids Go Free, F1® Experiences and the Golden Circle upgrades as well as previous favourites such as the GP Parks.
