The DJ will take to the stage for the Yasalam after-race concert.
The cooler season in the UAE seems to have begun. And with it comes an exciting array of events. One to look out for is the Formula 1 Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. And just when you think this year’s races couldn’t get any bigger, they’ve now added another big name to the list. Get ready to groove because Idris Elba has just joined the after-party lineup.
Idris Elba, who’s also a DJ in addition to being a charming A-list actor, is set to take over Garden on Yas on Friday, 5 December 2025. Expect an evening of high-energy under the stars.
Idris Elba brings serious club credentials to the Yasalam After-Race Concerts. Known for feel-good house and techno with Afro flavours, the actor-producer has carved a distinct lane via his 7 Wallace label and high-energy festival sets. 2025 has been a massive year for his DJ career, featuring standout moments like Coachella and his hit collaboration “It’s Ours” with ARTBAT and David Guetta, which has been lighting up dance floors worldwide.
Idris Elba’s upcoming gig in Abu Dhabi promises to be nothing short of ordinary. After his concert in the UAE capital, he’ll also be spinning later in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, as part of MDLBeast Soundstorm 2025.
Idris Elba joins Calvin Harris in the after-race line-up, which ensures this year’s Abu Dhabi Grand Prix weekend will be one for the books. More names are expected to drop soon.
