Silverstone has today confirmed the full music programme for the Formula 1 Pirelli British Grand Prix 2026, with Richard Ashcroft, Chase & Status and Rag’n’Bone Man joining David Guetta for four nights of headline entertainment across the M&S Mainstage from Thursday 2 to Sunday 5 July at Silverstone Circuit. The announcement completes a festival-style on-site line-up to match the scale of Formula 1’s biggest UK weekend. Tickets are available now at https://www.silverstone.co.uk/events/formula-1-british-grand-prix/tickets.
On Friday 3 July, one of the most celebrated voices in British music, Richard Ashcroft, will headline, bringing a set packed with era-defining tracks and unmistakable stage presence. As the former frontman of The Verve, Ashcroft helped deliver some of the defining records of a generation, including the UK Number 1 single ‘The Drugs Don’t Work’ and the UK Number 1 album Urban Hymns. With a solo career that includes a UK Number 1 album, Alone With Everybody, this is a headline set built for a crowd as big and vocal as Silverstone. Alex James’ Britpop Classical joins as special support, bringing a bold orchestral reworking of Britpop favourites, fresh from a major 2026 UK run that includes a headline date at London’s Royal Albert Hall.
Saturday 4 July will see UK trailblazers Chase & Status take over the M&S Mainstage for a night set to keep Silverstone buzzing long after the track action ends. Fans can expect to hear standout tracks including UK Number 1 single ‘BACKBONE’, ‘Baddadan’ and ‘Disconnect’ with Becky Hill, who headlined the British Grand Prix last year. They’ve also previously claimed the BRITs Producer of the Year award, recognition of the culture-shifting moments that have kept them at the forefront of UK electronic music. Irish dance breakout Jazzy will join the Saturday night bill, bringing her sleek, club-rooted sound and one of the freshest voices in electronic music to Silverstone.
Bringing the curtain down on an unforgettable weekend for British sport and music, Rag’n’Bone Man will headline Sunday 5 July with his signature powerhouse vocals. His debut album, Human, reached Number 1 in the UK, becoming one of the fastest-selling debut albums by a male artist, and went on to pass one million combined sales in the UK. He will be joined by a Vikkstar DJ set as support, adding another hit of late-weekend party atmosphere.
Joining David Guetta on Thursday 2 July is multi-platinum pop star Anne-Marie, whose run of chart-smashing hits and huge live energy will make her the perfect addition to Silverstone’s opening night. With a catalogue spanning fan favourites such as 2002, Friends, and Ciao Adios, she will bring a feel-good set built for one of the biggest crowds in British sport.
With four nights of live music now confirmed, the Formula 1 British Grand Prix at Silverstone continues to evolve into a true four-day festival experience. Fans can enjoy world-class racing by day and headline live performances each night, creating a weekend that blends sport, music, and atmosphere in one place.
