SAKHIR, BAHRAIN – As the Kingdom prepares for the 2026 edition of the Formula 1 Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix, the Bahrain International Circuit (BIC) has unveiled a headliner that promises to match the intensity of the track with world-class sonic energy. Multi-platinum producer and global phenomenon Martin Garrix is confirmed to take center stage on Friday, April 10, marking the first major entertainment highlight of the race weekend.
For the discerning audience of ‘The Home of Motorsport in the Middle East,’ the arrival of Garrix represents a perfect synergy of high-performance engineering and elite artistry. A perennial chart-topper and multiple-time occupant of the #1 spot on DJ Mag’s Top 100 DJs list, Garrix has evolved from a prodigy into a global icon, boasting collaborations with the likes of Bono, The Edge of U2, Dua Lipa, and Ed Sheeran.
A Weekend of Unrivaled Access
The 2026 spectacle, running from April 10 to 12, continues the BIC’s tradition of offering an all-encompassing lifestyle experience. The performance will be accessible to all Grand Prix ticket-holders, transforming the Sakhir circuit into a premier destination for both motorsport aficionados and the international social set.
Having headlined iconic global stages from the Winter Olympics to Coachella and Tomorrowland, Garrix’s debut single ‘Animals’ remains a touchstone of the genre. His presence in Bahrain underscores the Kingdom’s position as a global hub for luxury entertainment, bridging the gap between the adrenaline of the paddock and the glamour of the concert arena.
The Final Call for the Grid
With the event fast approaching, the BIC has reported a surge in demand, reflecting the high-caliber appeal of this year’s lineup. The Main Grandstand and Turn 1 Grandstand are already 95% sold out, with limited remaining availability across the Beyon, University, and Victory Grandstands.
Guests are encouraged to secure their positions early to witness this blend of speed and sound at the Kingdom’s most prestigious annual event.
