British rockers Mumford and Sons will play the du Arena on November 25 night as part of the Yasalam After Race Concert. The Grammy Award-winning band join DJ Calvin Harris (November 23) and pop star Pink (November 26) who will perform in the UAE capital as part of the Formula 1 Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix concerts.
Mumford and Sons have headlined the Glastonbury Festival and played to 65,000 people at Hyde Park. Their three previous studio albums took the UK and US charts by storm, winning them a raft of major music awards, including ‘Best British Band’ at the Brit Awards, and a coveted Grammy Award for ‘Album of the Year’.
They are expected to bring all their major hits, including Believe, The Wolf, The Cave, I Will Wait and Little Lion Man.
Organisers said more artists and free concerts will be announced later. Entry to after-race gigs at du Arena, however, is limited to race ticket holders only, starting at Dh195.
“With the latest artist announced, we have lined up four days of outstanding entertainment for the thousands of people attending from more than 170 countries,” said Tareq Al Ameri, CEO of Yas Marina Circuit. “As we make this announcement, the first Abu Dhabi Grand Prix tickets have started to be delivered to race goers around the world, which is all adding to the excitement ahead of race weekend.”
