Race’s Largest Fan Zone to Also Feature Performances by Jazzy, BANDABBA, Awakening, Jabbawockeez, and Live Q&A Sessions with All 20 Formula 1® Drivers
Entertainers Shaggy and Dillon Francis will headline the Heineken Silver Stage at the FORMULA 1 HEINEKEN LAS VEGAS GRAND PRIX, November 20-22. They will be supported by performances from Jazzy, BANDABBA, Awakening, Jabbawockeez, and more names to be announced. Additionally, fans will be able to catch all 20 Formula 1® drivers as they take part in live on-stage Q&As and autograph sessions throughout the weekend.
“The Heineken Silver Stage has become a staple of race weekend, mixing the entertainment Las Vegas has become known for along with appearances from the drivers who make the magic happen on the track,” said Emily Prazer, President and CEO of Las Vegas Grand Prix, Inc., “This stage offers something for every fan, providing a unique mix of high-energy performances and interactive fan engagements between on-track sessions.”
Located in the East Harmon Zone by Virgin Hotels Las Vegas and with newly expanded access for fans with tickets located in the Koval Zone by Heineken, the Heineken Silver Stage will be steps away from the thrills and action of the start and finish line and interactive fan zone activations. The headlining artists for Heineken Silver Stage include:
- Shaggy: The only diamond-selling dancehall artist in history, Shaggy first broke onto the global stage with “Oh Carolina” and has since sold over 40 million albums, earning a GRAMMY® Award and charting multiple hits on Billboard. In recent years, he released Com Fly Wid Mi, a reggae reinterpretation of the Sinatra songbook produced by Sting, earning another GRAMMY nomination and a special performance at NYC’s Blue Note Jazz Club. He’s remained a cultural force with viral hits like “Banana,” a standout Super Bowl commercial and national TV appearances alongside Sean Paul and Spice for their smash “Go Down Deh.” Most recently, he dropped the single “Mi Nuh Know,” which pays tribute to Eek-A-Mouse’s classic “Wah-Do-Dem,” with an accompanying video directed by Jay Will.
- Dillon Francis: Los Angeles-based producer and DJ, Dillon Francis, rose to prominence in the early 2010s as a key figure in the moombahton movement. Since then, he has built a diverse catalog spanning house, reggaeton and dance-pop, with notable collaborations including DJ Snake on “Get Low,” Kygo on “Coming Over” and Panic! at the Disco on “Hey Look Ma, I Made It.” In recent years, he’s released a euphoric house album, Happy Machine, and the much-lauded This Mixtape Is Fire Too. He’s currently putting out music with celebrated producer Albert Hype as Sorry My Love, a pop punk project inspired by both producers’ lifelong love of the genre.
Ticketholders for Paddock Club™, Wynn Grid Club, Papi Steak at F1 Garage, Gordon Ramsay at F1 Garage, Skybox, Turn 3 Club, Heineken Silver Main Grandstand, Turn 3 Grandstands and, new for 2025, Heineken Bleachers, will enjoy access to the Heineken Silver Stage as well as the fan activations in East Harmon Zone by Virgin Hotels Las Vegas and Koval Zone by Heineken.
The Las Vegas Strip Circuit® remains one the most competitive tracks on the calendar, with a track record of 181 overtakes, top speeds exceeding 220 miles per hour and tactical challenges at every turn. The 2025 event will elevate the fan experience with more on-track action, including the addition of the F1 ACADEMY™. The all-female series will conclude on the Las Vegas Strip Circuit as the first single-seater support series to race on the streets of the biggest stage in motorsport. Fans can also look forward to interactive activations, premium hospitality and an expanded array of food and beverage options, all to be announced at a later date.
