Silverstone has today announced iconic global superstar DJ and producer David Guetta as the first headline act for its star-studded music line-up for the 2026 Formula 1 British Grand Prix, taking place Thursday 2nd to Sunday 5th July 2026. The performance will mark Guetta’s only UK appearance of his global MONOLITH tour next summer, making his headline set at Silverstone a truly exclusive moment for British fans.
Having attracted record crowds of 500,000 last summer, the home of British motorsport is set to go bigger and better once again, with an electrifying line-up of international music heavyweights – underlining Silverstone’s growing reputation as one of the UK’s premiere live music and entertainment destinations. Further acts are to be announced in the coming months.
The unprecedented four-day line-up will see Silverstone take its music and arts offering to the next level, cementing the British Grand Prix as a summer highlight on both the British sporting and music calendar. The Grand Prix weekend’s Formula 1 entertainment has also been expanded with the return of the Sprint Race to 2026’s event, which will give fans even more thrills and excitement on and off the track.
The announcement sees David Guetta join a stellar list of past British Grand Prix headliners that includes Stormzy, RAYE, Sam Fender, Fatboy Slim and Becky Hill – further reinforcing Silverstone’s evolution into one of the UK’s leading live music and entertainment hubs, and a reminder of its growing stature beyond the track.
The MONOLITH show – hailed as the most ambitious production of David Guetta’s career – promises a total experience: visual, sonic and emotional. Centred around a striking monolith-shaped stage, it takes fans on an immersive, futuristic journey where music, visuals and stage design fuse into something bigger.
The BRIT and Grammy-winning icon will open the four-day celebration on Thursday 2 July, delivering his world-famous high-energy set packed with global hits, euphoric production and festival anthems. Guetta’s Silverstone debut promises to kickstart the Grand Prix weekend with an unforgettable party and marks a fitting full-circle moment for the French DJ, whose 2014 ‘Dangerous’ music video paid tribute to Formula 1, featuring F1 legend Romain Grosjean.
More headliners and entertainment acts will be announced in the coming months, alongside on-track programming and fan experiences.
