His latest album, "The Death of Slim Shady (Coup De Grâce)" was released on July 12, 2024 and currently sits Top 10 on the Rhythmic radio charts. The first single from the album, "Houdini," further solidified his ongoing grip on music and popular culture. An instantaneous global smash, the song entered the Billboard Global 200 and Streaming Songs charts at #1, and debuted at #2 on the Hot 100. The song currently sits in the top 20 of the Spotify Global and US charts, the Apple Music Global chart, and the Top 40 and Rhythmic radio charts.

US pop rock band Maroon 5 and British rock group Muse will join the legendary rapper at Etihad Park for the 2024 Yasalam After-Race Concerts.

Set on the vibrant Yas Island – with a glorious bay, marina and beach – the region's premier sports and entertainment festival drew record-breaking figures during the 2023 edition, with more than 170,000 fans visiting Yas Marina Circuit and Etihad Park across race weekend. The Abu Dhabi GP's global fan base also continues to grow year-on-year, with 65% of last year's guests coming from outside the UAE.

As a destination choice, Abu Dhabi offers unprecedented experiences for visitors with its natural beauty, unique heritage and tradition, alongside world-class arts and entertainment events. Abu Dhabi's year-round sunshine, vast desert dunes, white sand beaches, and clear waters of the Arabian Gulf offer something for every traveller.

Yas Island is a thriving hub of activity, with 34 million visits recorded in 2023 alone – a 38% rise compared to 2022. Yas Island is much more than a destination though, with 44 hotels, over 50 restaurants and four theme parks, along with some glorious golf courses with stunning views of the Arabian Gulf, such as Yas Links. There are also multiple developments, including the 560-metre beachfront development of Yas Bay Beach.

Fans with a race day ticket can head to Etihad Park following a thrilling evening of racing to enjoy the Yasalam After-Race Concerts. Those holding a three-day pass can experience four nights of entertainment, while those with one-day and two-day passes can access shows corresponding to their race day tickets.

The Abu Dhabi GP ticket grants one-day complimentary access to the Louvre Abu Dhabi, Qasr Al Watan, and any one of the incredible Yas Island adventure parks including: Ferrari World Abu Dhabi, Yas Waterworld Abu Dhabi, Warner Bros. World Abu Dhabi, and SeaWorld Abu Dhabi. Fans can present their #AbuDhabiGP ticket at theme park entry between Wednesday December 4 and Monday December 9, making for an unparalleled winter break under the sun.
