Azerbaijan GP 2026 music line-up announced

Katy Perry and Calvin Harris are the first confirmed headliners for the Azerbaijan GP 2026 music line-up.

The concerts form part of a wider programme celebrating the 10th edition of Formula 1 racing in Baku. Rather than limiting the entertainment to after the Grand Prix, organisers have placed the headline performances across the opening two nights of the weekend.

Calvin Harris will perform on Thursday, 24 September, following the opening practice sessions. Katy Perry will take the stage on Friday, 25 September, after Formula 1 Qualifying.

Azerbaijan GP celebrates ten editions in Baku

Formula 1 first raced through the streets of Baku in 2016, when the city hosted the European Grand Prix. The event became the Azerbaijan Grand Prix the following year and has since developed into an established fixture on the Formula 1 calendar.

The 2026 race marks the 10th edition of Formula 1 in Baku. Organisers are using the anniversary to place greater emphasis on the wider race-weekend experience, with Katy Perry and Calvin Harris adding significant international profile to the celebrations.

The Baku City Circuit remains one of Formula 1’s most recognisable street circuits. Its 6.003-kilometre layout combines long, high-speed sections with narrow corners running through the historic centre of the city.

The 10th anniversary places emphasis on the wider race-weekend experience.

Why the Azerbaijan GP 2026 schedule is different

The Azerbaijan Grand Prix 2026 will run from Thursday, 24 September, to Saturday, 26 September, instead of the traditional Friday-to-Sunday format.

Thursday features two practice sessions followed by Calvin Harris’ opening-night performance. Practice 3 and Qualifying take place on Friday before Katy Perry headlines the evening, with the Grand Prix concluding the weekend on Saturday.

Guests attending the concerts should plan to arrive early, particularly for Calvin Harris on Thursday. The schedule creates three distinct days of racing, electronic music, pop entertainment, and the final Grand Prix.

Are the Azerbaijan GP concerts included with race tickets?

Official Baku City Circuit information states that four-day Azerbaijan GP tickets include access to the nightly headline concerts, alongside the full programme of Formula 1 track action.

Guests should still check the exact inclusions attached to their chosen ticket, grandstand, or hospitality package before booking. Access conditions, entry zones, and any premium concert areas may vary between products.

With Calvin Harris performing on Thursday and Katy Perry appearing on Friday, securing the correct multi-day access will be important for guests who want to attend both headline concerts.
