Formula 1 is coming to Las Vegas in 2023. And with it are a number of huge artists, concerts and performances across the weekend.
However, if you’re heading to the Las Vegas Grand Prix, don’t expect to be able to see all of the live music. You can only access certain stages depending on which zone your tickets are for.
This guide to the Las Vegas F1 concerts provides all the information you need to know on the full line-up, schedule, and where each artist is performing.

Las Vegas Grand Prix opening ceremony
The opening ceremony for the Las Vegas Grand Prix will take place at 19:30 local time on Wednesday 15th November. It will include all Formula 1 drivers and the following artists:

Anyone else can purchase stand-alone Vegas F1 opening ceremony tickets on the Las Vegas GP website.

The headline artists performing in the concerts across all other das of the 2023 Las Vegas Grand Prix weekend have been confirmed as the following:

I’m expecting some additional artists to be confirmed in the coming weeks who’ll be playing on the Heineken Silver Stage (more info on that below).
It’s also likely there will be some other smaller artists performing across the weekend. These will be announced on the Las Vegas GP website in the build up to the F1 weekend.

F1 Las Vegas concert stages / zones
The Las Vegas Grand Prix track is split in to a number of different spectator zones. The main concert stages will be in three locations.
Our guide to Las Vegas F1 parking gives some tips on how to park near to your zone and avoid the worst of the traffic.
T-Mobile Sphere
The Sphere opened in September 2023. Not only is it a huge dome-shaped structure with a screen on the outside, but the inside is a stage where the backdrop is also one giant screen.
This has already made for some mind-blowing visuals by artists who have performed inside it.
Unfortunately the Vegas F1 concerts won’t be taking place in the sphere.
Instead the organisers have confirmed a temporary stage will be erected between the Sphere and the grandstands, where the majority of the headliner performers are currently listed as playing during the Formula 1 weekend.
The T-Mobile Sphere is part of the T-Mobile Zone at Sphere.
Heineken Silver Stage
The other main stage is the Heineken Silver Stage. I contacted the Las Vegas GP team who confirmed that this would feature some of the headline performances across the F1 weekend.
But as of yet, no artists have been announced as performing on this stage. I’m expecting this to change in the weeks leading up to the race.
The Heineken Silver Stage will, however, be where the majority of the F1 driver interviews take place across during the Las Vegas Grand Prix weekend.
The Heineken Silver Stage is in the East Harmon Zone by Virgin Hotels.
Heineken House
The Heineken House is where DJ Pee.Wee is performing and is a shared hospitality space in the South Koval Zone.
Las Vegas F1 concert tickets
If you want to see any of the artists who are performing across the F1 weekend you need to purchase one of the following ticket types, depending on which artist you want to see and where they’re performing.
T-Mobile Zone at Sphere:
- General Admission ticket
- Tickets for one of the Las Vegas F1 grandstands in the T-Mobile Zone at Sphere
Heineken Silver Stage:
- Skybox (shared hospitality) ticket
- Tickets for one of the East Harmon Zone grandstands (PG1, PG2 or PG3)
Heineken House:
- Heineken House shared hospitality ticket
There are no standalone concert tickets available for purchase. The only way to see the performances is to purchase one of the corresponding F1 tickets above.
You can only access the zone which you have tickets for. You cannot access other stages outside of the zone which your ticket gives you access to.
To confirm this I got in touch with the Vegas GP sales team and this was their response:
“You will only have access to the zone you purchase – e.g. Sphere Zone ticket will only have access to Sphere Zone, PG2 (grandstand) will have access to the East Harmon Zone only.” – Las Vegas GP official response
So if you’re more interested in the music then the racing, then you want to try and buy the cheapest ticket possible:
- If you want to see one of the concerts in the T-Mobile Sphere then the General Admission tickets are cheapest.
- If you want to see one of the concerts on the Heineken Silver Stage then a single-day ticket in the PG2 grandstand is cheapest.
- To get access to the Heineken House you need to buy Heineken House hospitality tickets which start at $2000 for a single day.
2023 Las Vegas F1 concert schedule
The table higher up this page will be continually updated with the set times for all of the headline performances across the Vegas Grand Prix weekend. These will be confirmed on the Las Vegas GP website in the run-up to the event.
Bare in mind that the Vegas F1 weekend takes place from Thursday to Saturday, not the normal Friday to Sunday. The F1 session times are also later than usual to accommodate for UK and European audiences, so this has a knock-on effect on the concert timings.
See the full Las Vegas GP schedule for more information.
As well as the music within the circuit itself, there are countless other artists performing at other venues across Vegas during the F1 weekend. See our guide to the best Vegas F1 parties and nightlife for a full rundown of what’s on.
