Benson Boone Confirmed as Yasalam 2025 Headliner Alongside Katy Perry for Abu Dhabi Grand Prix

Benson Boone has officially been confirmed as one of the headliners for Abu Dhabi’s Yasalam 2025 concert series, joining global superstar Katy Perry at the Formula 1 Grand Prix weekend.

Concert access for the Abu Dhabi performances is exclusive to Grand Prix ticket holders, with premium Golden Circle upgrades available for those wanting closer stage access. With two more headliners still to be announced for the four-day event, fans are eagerly awaiting further updates before the Formula 1 season finale kicks off at Yas Marina Circuit this December.

The Abu Dhabi Grand Prix concert performance marks a significant milestone in Boone’s career, joining the prestigious Yasalam After-Race Concerts that have previously featured artists like Beyoncé, Paul McCartney, and Eminem. Furthermore, the event coincides with Formula 1’s 75th anniversary celebrations.

Boone recently made headlines at Coachella 2025 when he brought out Queen guitarist Brian May for a surprise performance of Bohemian Rhapsody on April 11. This marked May’s first major public appearance since suffering a stroke seven months earlier. During the set, Boone also announced his upcoming sophomore album American Heart, set for release on June 20, 2025, via Night Street and Warner Records.

At just 22 years old, Boone has established himself as a pop sensation, with his single Beautiful Things officially recognized by the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI) as the world’s best-selling digital single of 2024, beating out hits from Sabrina Carpenter and Teddy Swims.
