Katy Perry Closes the F1 Season at Etihad Park

Perry, the artist behind chart-topping anthems including Firework, Roar, Teenage Dream, and California Girls, will deliver her most-loved hits to tens of thousands of motorsport and music fans. The December 7 show marks her first F1 concert appearance in the UAE — though it will be her second time performing in Abu Dhabi. She previously headlined a New Year's Eve show at the same Yas Island venue, then known as du Arena, on December 31, 2017.

Her addition to the lineup places her among an elite group of artists who have headlined the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, a roster that has previously included Beyoncé, Rihanna, Paul McCartney, and Eminem.
