ABU DHABI 26 September 2018: Billboard award-winning American superstar, Post Malone, has been confirmed as the headline performer at the Du Arena, Yas Island, on Thursday 22nd November.
Yas Marina Circuit and Flash Entertainment revealed the fourth global artist to perform at this year’s Yasalam After-Race Concert as part of the Formula 1 2018 Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix weekend.
The show will kick off four nights of live shows to mark 10 years of Yasalam After-Race Concerts and the 10th edition of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
Post Malone, who is best known for his global chart hits ‘Rockstar’ and ‘Better Now’, joins an already star-studded line-up for this year’s extra special Yasalam After-Race Concerts.
On Friday, Canadian superstar ‘The Weeknd’ will perform at the Du Arena, UK singer Sam Smith will take to the stage on Saturday, with American rock legends Guns N’ Roses bringing the curtain down on Sunday.
Since bursting onto the music scene in 2015 with his debut single ‘White Iverson’, Post Malone has been riding a wave of success with a string of platinum-selling tracks, including ‘Congratulations’ that peaked at number eight on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the US, as well as releasing two hugely successful albums.
Last year saw Post Malone, whose music has been described as a “melting pot of country, grunge, hip-hop and R&B”, release his biggest hit yet, ‘Rockstar”, featuring 21 Savage’. The song peaked at number one in the US and held the top spot for eight consecutive weeks.
Abu Dhabi Grand Prix ticket holders can enjoy access to all four Yasalam After-Race Concerts, with upgrades to the exclusive Golden Circle area – the best place to watch the artists perform – available from Dh195.
