Organizers announced Aug. 6 that the 2026 Formula 1 Heineken Las Vegas Grand Prix will run a three-night concert series at the T-Mobile Stage during race weekend, Nov. 19 to 21.
The stage sits inside the T-Mobile Zone at Sphere, beneath the venue’s Exosphere. It offers views over T-Mobile Turn 5 and the chicane that runs through Turns 7 to 9.
The lineup by night
Thursday, Nov. 19: Two Friends and Ja Rule.
Friday, Nov. 20: Disclosure and Gorgon City.
Saturday, Nov. 21: Sean Paul and Natasha Bedingfield.
Additional performers named in the announcement include Collect 200 and DJ Mandy.
The weekend also includes an F1 Afterparty, billed as the first of its kind for the event. The Backstreet Boys will perform inside Sphere on Saturday night after the race, making it a highlight of the Las Vegas Grand Prix.
Who gets in
Access to the performances comes with tickets for the T-Mobile Zone, which is sold in two categories: T-Mobile Grandstands and General Admission. Ticket holders also get access to T-Mobile Club Magenta and the zone’s food and beverage options.
The Afterparty is a separate ticketed event. In mid-August, the Backstreet Boys took part in a karting session in Las Vegas to promote it, and ticket packages pairing the race with the concert were offered.
Why it matters for the weekend
Since the race arrived on the Strip in 2023, its organizers have leaned on entertainment programming to fill the gap between the late-night sessions. This year’s schedule keeps that pattern, with practice on Thursday, qualifying on Friday and the Grand Prix on Saturday, Nov. 21, and music running each of those nights. Las Vegas Grand Prix
Sean Paul’s Saturday slot puts a reggae and dancehall headliner on the biggest night of the weekend. Disclosure and Gorgon City give Friday an electronic bill. Two Friends, the Los Angeles duo known for their Big Bootie Mix series, open the weekend with Ja Rule.
