The headline lineup for this year’s concerts across the weekend has been announced as follows:
- Sam Fender – Thursday 3rd July

Whilst there’s no on-track action on the Thursday, Silverstone is hosting an opening concert on the Thursday evening when Sam Fender’s headlining.
However; if you only have a 3-day (Fri / Sat / Sun) ticket, or tickets to any combination of Fri / Sat / Sun then you cannot access the Thursday opening concert. You’ll need to purchase an additional Thursday-only ticket; see ‘Tickets’ section lower down this page for how to do that.
4-day ticket holder can access the opening concert on Thursday.
Below is the lineup and timetable for headline performers and DJs that have so far been announced as playing across the Grand Prix weekend. This will be updated as more artists are released and timings are confirmed.

Concert stages
The music performances will take place in a few main locations during the Silverstone F1 weekend.
The headline artists, including those playing at the opening concert, will be performing on the Main Stage that’s adjacent to the Wellington Straight and is the Concert Zone. This is outside and exposed to the weather.
The main stage is also where the Silverstone Formula 1 driver interviews will take place over the weekend.
The DJs playing at the Mahiki Afterparties will be doing so in the Mahiki Enclosure. That’s in the same zone, halfway between Luffield (Turn 7) and Abbey (Turn 1) at Silverstone.
There are also the Made at Vale and Drivers Inn stages.
The Made at Vale stage is located behind the Vale grandstand just next to Turn 14. Silverstone have confirmed the stage will be in a big-top tent behind the stand and will in no way obstruct the view of the track from the Vale grandstand.
The Drivers Inn stage will be located on the outside of Copse Corner (Turn 9) and will host a lot of tech talks and interviews with people in motorsport, as well as the Fast and the Curious podcast.
Both, again, are outside and you’ll be exposed to the weather watching the performances.
Music / set timings
See here for the full timetable over the weekend.
The headline artists will be performing after the final Formula 1 on-track action has finished each day at Silverstone.
Usually the music will start around an hour after the F1 is planned to end, but any delays to the motorsport will be likely to have a knock-on effect on the start of the performances.
The only exception to this will be the Silverstone Opening Concert. As that’s on Thursday, when there’s no on-track action, the music is likely to start on time.
Concert tickets
If you only have tickets for a specific day and want to see an artist performing on a different day, your best bet is to try and find single-day tickets for sale on either ViaGoGO or StubHub.
The same applies if you want to go to the opening concert on Thursday, but only have Fri / Sat / Sun / 3-day tickets. You’ll need a seperate Thursday ticket.
I’ve used both platforms for F1 tickets in the past, including for my trip to the Las Vegas GP, and have always had a great experience.
They also have a robust ‘FanProtect guarantee’ that gives you peace of mind that your tickets / money will be safe!
Opening concert
To access the opening party on Thursday evening, you need to have either a 4-day weekend ticket, or a specific Thursday ticket, in either general admission, grandstand or hospitality / VIP areas for the British Grand Prix.
A 3-day weekend ticket will not get you access to Silverstone’s opening concerts on Thursday.
Main stage during the weekend
To access any of the concerts on the main stage, you must have either a general admission, grandstand or VIP ticket that gets you access to the circuit for the F1 on the given day of the concert you want to attend.
Mahiki After Parties
To access the Mahiki Enclosure for the DJs playing at the Mahiki After Parties, you need to either:
- Have tickets for access to the Mahiki T1 or Mahiki VIP enclosures
- Purchase separate Mahiki After Party tickets
Anyone with any kind of Grand Prix ticket can add the separate Mahiki After Party tickets to their order. The costs for these vary from day to day, but the starting prices are as follows:
- Thursday – £45
- Friday – £55
- Saturday – £80
- Sunday – £65
Gates and access
The crowds in front of the main stage at the end of each day can be huge. If you’re watching the F1 from the other side of the track but want to be near the front of the stage, you’ll need to try and get to the stage at least 30 minutes before the on-track action finishes.
If you’re coming from outside the circut, the main stage and Mahiki enclosure are most easily access through the main entrance gate, gate 19. But the other gets will also be open, you just might need to walk further within the circuit.
See my full guide to the Silverstone Entrance Gates for more information.
