Fans can expect a vibrant performance filled with some of her biggest songs, including “Firework,” “Roar,” “Dark Horse,” and “Teenage Dream.” Known for her high-energy shows and bold stage presence, Perry’s appearance is expected to be one of the biggest highlights of the race weekend.
Since launching her career with Capitol Records in 2008, Katy Perry has made her mark in the music world. She has sold more than 70 million adjusted albums and over 143 million tracks globally. Her songs have been streamed more than 115 billion times across platforms. Perry holds the title of the best-selling female artist in the history of Capitol Records. She’s also one of just 12 artists ever to cross the 100 million certified units mark and has multiple Diamond-certified singles under her name — a rare feat.
In 2025, Katy Perry is set to kick off a new world tour, marking her return to the global stage after some time away. The Abu Dhabi concert will be one of the tour’s biggest stops, bringing together the excitement of Formula 1 and the thrill of a major pop concert — all in one unforgettable night.
Access to Katy Perry’s concert will be available only to those who have a valid ticket to the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. Tickets can be purchased online through official outlets.
Speaking about the announcement, David Powell, Chief Strategy & Business Development Officer at Ethara, said, “We are delighted that the first act we can announce in our 2025 After-Race Concerts line-up is global pop icon Katy Perry. Her energy and electrifying performances will reflect the excitement of the F1 season finale in Abu Dhabi.”
With one of the world’s most loved artists performing live and the F1 finale happening in the same weekend, Abu Dhabi is gearing up for an unforgettable mix of music, sport, and celebration.
