The American rapper is the first headliner announced for the event.
Formula E is turning up the volume in Saudi Arabia. The ABB FIA Formula E World Championship has confirmed that Grammy Award-winning rapper and singer-songwriter Future will perform as the first headline act for the 2026 Jeddah E-Prix, bringing a live show to the city’s waterfront race weekend.
Future will take to the stage on Friday, 13 February as part of the event’s off-track entertainment programme, which runs alongside the Season 12 double-header night races at Jeddah Corniche Circuit on 13 and 14 February 2026. With Rounds four and five set to unfold under the floodlights, the weekend promises a full-spectrum festival feel, pairing high-speed competition with a headline concert designed to keep the energy going long after the chequered flag.
Known for smash hits including ‘Life Is Good’ and ‘Mask Off’, the Atlanta-born rapper built momentum through a run of mixtapes before signing a record deal in 2011. His debut album, Pluto, arrived in 2012 and kickstarted a chart-dominating era that includes DS2, HNDRXX, and I Never Liked You, with multiple releases landing at number one on the Billboard 200 chart. Future’s reach remains enormous, with more than 51 million monthly listeners on Spotify, alongside worldwide sales across nine studio albums, three collaborative albums and one soundtrack album.
With 15 Grammy nominations, Billboard Hot 100 favourites such as ‘Way 2 Sexy’ and ‘Like That’, and collaborations with Drake, The Weeknd, Kelly Rowland, Nicki Minaj, Kanye West, and Kendrick Lamar, Future’s influence continues to shape modern hip-hop.
The shift from Diriyah to Jeddah has already proved a win for the series, with last year’s double-header reportedly becoming Formula E’s most-watched weekend to date, drawing 65 million global cumulative viewers. On track, the action delivered late-lap drama, with Maximilian Günther taking victory on the opening night before Oliver Rowland struck back the following day.
Tickets for the Jeddah E-Prix are available via WeBook or the Formula E website and include access to the race plus all off-track entertainment, including the concerts. Single-day tickets start at 100 SAR, while two-day passes start at 180 SAR.
More artists are expected to join the Jeddah E-Prix concert lineup, with additional announcements still to come.
