Let’s get loud! Abu Dhabi’s Formula 1 weekend has added another superstar to its musical line-up. Jennifer Lopez will headline the Friday After-Race Concert at the Formula 1 Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix 2026, performing The JLo Show at Etihad Live on Friday, 4 December 2026.
The singer, actress and entertainer returns to the capital with a catalogue that spans decades of dancefloor favourites, R&B collaborations and pop anthems. From “Love Don’t Cost A Thing” to “Get Right” and “On The Floor”, the Abu Dhabi show will celebrate the music behind a career that has crossed recording studios, cinema screens and concert stages.
Jennifer Lopez, as her hit single “Jenny from the Block” tells us, hails from New York in the United States. She grew up in the Bronx in a Puerto Rican family and went on to become an actor and singer. She got her first break as a dancer in the television series In Living Color and worked as a backup dancer for the singer Janet Jackson.
In 1999, Jennifer released her debut album On The 6. The album included the hit singles “If You Had My Love”, “Let’s Get Loud” and “Waiting for Tonight”. Over her career, she has sold more than 80 million records. She has been awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, the Billboard Icon Award and the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award.
Jennifer has also made her mark in movies. She has starred in the films Maid in Manhattan, Marry Me, Monster-in-Law and Shall We Dance? In 2019, she starred in the film Hustlers, and she received nominations at the Critics’ Choice Movie Awards, Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild.
Elsewhere on the After-Race Concert schedule, Lewis Capaldi has been announced for Thursday 3 December 2026, followed by Imagine Dragons on Saturday 5 December 2026. The Chainsmokers and The Script will perform on Sunday 6 December 2026, closing the weekend after the action at Yas Marina Circuit.
