Palestinian-Chilean singer Elyanna will perform at the 2025 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix After-Race Concerts, joining US rapper Post Malone on Friday, December 5, in what promises to be a night of musical and cultural fusion.
Full weekend lineup
The four-day Yasalam concert series, presented by e& entertainment, kicks off Thursday, December 4, with US pop singer Benson Boone. Elyanna and Post Malone will take the stage on Friday after F1 practice sessions at Yas Marina Circuit.
On Saturday, December 6, metal legends Metallica will perform following the qualifying rounds. The event concludes on Sunday, December 7, with pop star Katy Perry headlining after the F1 season finale.
Rising Arab-pop artist
Elyanna, 23, returns to Abu Dhabi just months after performing with Coldplay at Zayed Sports City Stadium, where over 200,000 fans attended across four sold-out shows. Known for blending Arabic music with Latin rhythms, her unique sound has gained international recognition.
“We’re thrilled to welcome Elyanna as part of a world-class Yasalam lineup,” said David Powell, Chief Strategy & Business Development Officer at Ethara. “Elyanna is a unique and gifted artist, as she showed when she performed alongside Coldplay at Zayed Sports City in January.”
Born in Nazareth and discovered at age 15 by Grammy-winner Nasri Atweh, Elyanna made history as the first artist to sing in Arabic at Coachella. Her music has surpassed 100 million streams, and her debut album Woledto was released under Universal Arabic Music.
