Three major names in electronic music are taking over Yas Marina Circuit this December.

The entertainment calendar for Abu Dhabi Grand Prix weekend is filling up, and the latest additions are worth staying out for. With just under two months to go until the Formula 1 season finale, Black Coffee, CamelPhat and Shimza have been announced as the latest additions to the Yasalam entertainment lineup, bringing three nights of electronic music to 16/360 at Yas Marina Circuit.

The celebrations begin on Friday, December 4, with South African DJ Shimza, whose Afro-tech sound has taken him to stages including Tomorrowland and Ibiza’s Pacha. On Saturday, December 5, Liverpool duo CamelPhat, best known for dance-floor favourites Cola, Panic Room and Breathe, take over the decks.

Closing the weekend on Sunday, December 6 is Grammy-winning DJ and producer Black Coffee, one of Afro house’s biggest names, known for his hypnotic sets and tracks including Drive and The Rapture Pt. III.

The venue itself is another reason to look forward to the weekend. Located at Yas Marina Circuit, 16/360 The Terrace Collection and The Circle offer panoramic track views, signature bars, curated menus and plenty of space to enjoy the atmosphere while the racing unfolds.

The three performances join the growing Yasalam programme, which includes After-Race Concerts and official after-parties, with Anyma also confirmed for the latter.

The Formula 1 Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix 2026 runs from December 3 to 6, with the DJ performances exclusive to 16/360 ticket holders.
