Etihad Park reached capacity last night as Katy Perry headlined the final show of the Emirates NBD After-Race Concerts at the 2025 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
Taking to the stage with Artificial, Perry set the tone for a power set that featured some of her most recognisable hits, California Girls, Last Friday Night and Wide Awake. The performance delivered everything fans associate with Perry — signature choreography, bold staging, and the vibrant, expressive costumes that define her live shows. In true Katy Perry fashion, she closed the night with a soaring rendition of Firework, amplified by a full pyrotechnic display that lit up Etihad Park and brought the After-Race Concert of the Yasalam presented by e& week to a spectacular close.
Following the final race of Formula 1®’s 75th season, and doubling as show 91 of 91 on The Lifetime’s Tour, the concert marked Perry’s first appearance at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix – placing her among international acts who have headlined since 2009. She previously headlined a 2017 New Year’s Eve show in Abu Dhabi at the same venue.
The performance wrapped four nights of live entertainment across the race weekend, which featured a stellar line-up of shows by Benson Boone, Elyanna, Post Malone, and Metallica.
