The Las Vegas Grand Prix is gearing up for its highly anticipated return to the Strip this November, marking its third edition with an impressive lineup of off-track entertainment that promises to enhance the race weekend experience. Machine Gun Kelly, T-Pain, and Zedd are set to headline performances at the T-Mobile Zone at Sphere, showcasing the growing trend of live music integration within the Grand Prix festivities.
Emily Prazer, CEO of the Las Vegas Grand Prix, emphasized the significance of the event, stating, “Las Vegas is an entertainment hub within itself, so it was only fitting to bring together some of the music industry’s best to create an unmatched concert experience for race weekend.” The T-Mobile Zone at Sphere boasts stunning graphics and incredible views of the race, ensuring a memorable atmosphere for attendees.
In addition to the headliners, fans watching the race at turns 7 through 9 can expect performances from popular artists such as Sofi Tukker, Jess Glynne, and Cassian, among others. The Las Vegas Grand Prix distinguishes itself from other events on the F1 calendar as it is directly promoted by F1, which is reflected in the selection of talent that resonates with motorsport fans.
Machine Gun Kelly’s involvement in the F1 scene has had its ups and downs; earlier this year, he performed at the F1 75 livery reveal in London, receiving mixed reviews for his performance which contained vague references to racing. His unexpected grid walk moment with commentator Martin Brundle at the 2023 Brazilian Grand Prix also drew attention, as he expressed his discomfort with the impromptu interview situation.
Zedd has built a reputation as a prominent figure within the F1 party circuit, expressing his strong friendship with McLaren driver Lando Norris. Zedd has credited the Netflix series “Drive to Survive” for igniting his interest in Formula 1, proving that the series has had a significant impact on bringing new fans to the sport.
Although T-Pain may not be as familiar with F1, he has demonstrated his enthusiasm for cars and motorsports, recently making a surprise appearance during the Miami Grand Prix. His participation alongside prominent artists at the Las Vegas Grand Prix illustrates the diverse appeal of the event and its ability to attract various stars from the music industry.
This year’s Grand Prix is set to deliver an exciting blend of high-octane racing and top-tier entertainment, making it a must-attend event for both motorsport enthusiasts and music fans alike.
