The 2026 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, scheduled for April 17–19 at the Jeddah Corniche Circuit, will feature an expanded roster of international performers alongside the high-octane racing action.
Tyla, whose career has rapidly risen on the global stage with multi-platinum hits and widespread acclaim, will appear on the same weekend that also includes performances by music giants Shakira, Pitbull and Kygo.
Race organisers say the concert lineup is designed to complement the world’s fastest street race with unforgettable live entertainment, creating a festival-style atmosphere for attendees.

The Jeddah Corniche Circuit, known for its dramatic night racing and record-breaking speeds, continues to establish itself as one of the most dynamic stops on the Formula 1 calendar.
The integration of globally recognised musical acts with top-tier motorsport reflects Saudi Arabia’s broader strategy to host major international cultural and sporting events.
Tyla’s scheduled appearance comes on the heels of her successful global tours and notable performances in the region, including previous concerts in Saudi Arabia that drew enthusiastic crowds.
Race organisers are expected to share further details on performance times and supporting acts as the April race weekend approaches.
Alongside the entertainment announcements, excitement is building among fans for the racing itself, with teams and drivers preparing to compete for victory on the demanding, high-speed street circuit that runs along Jeddah’s Red Sea promenade.
With its combination of world-class sport and star-studded entertainment, the 2026 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated events on both the global motorsport and live music calendars, offering fans an immersive experience catering to diverse international audiences.
