The 2026 Azerbaijan Grand Prix will feature performances by music icons Katy Perry and Calvin Harris. The artists are set to entertain fans in Baku during the event's 10th-anniversary celebrations.
As the Azerbaijan Grand Prix gears up to celebrate its 10th anniversary, it's pulling out all the stops with a star-studded musical lineup. Fans attending the 2026 race will be treated to performances by the likes of Katy Perry and Calvin Harris, adding a touch of musical glamour to the high-octane weekend.
The festivities kick off a day early this year, with renowned DJ and producer Calvin Harris taking the stage on Thursday, September 24, after the Free Practice sessions. Harris, known for his chart-topping collaborations with artists like Rihanna and The Weeknd, will set the celebratory tone for the weekend.
Not to be outdone, pop superstar Katy Perry will headline Friday's entertainment. With over 115 billion streams to her name, Perry is expected to deliver a memorable show for the racegoers following the Qualifying sessions. Organizers have promised an "unforgettable atmosphere" as Perry brings her dynamic presence to Baku.
The 10th anniversary of the Azerbaijan Grand Prix promises to be memorable not just for the racing but also for the music. Calvin Harris, a Grammy Award-winning artist, adds significant international flair to the Thursday night schedule. His accolades include a Grammy for "We Found Love" and multiple nominations from prestigious award bodies like the BRITs and MTV VMAs.
The excitement isn't just on the stage. Last year's race in Baku was a thriller, with Carlos Sainz narrowly missing out on pole but securing his first podium for Williams, finishing behind Max Verstappen and George Russell.
In short, the 2026 Azerbaijan Grand Prix is shaping up to be a weekend of both on-track action and off-track entertainment, ensuring it will be a memorable experience for all who attend.
