Sam Fender and RAYE to Headline Formula 1 British Grand Prix Live Shows

Sam Fender’s set kicks off the festivities on July 3, while RAYE delivers her first outdoor UK show of the year on July 4. The all-British roster also includes Fatboy Slim on July 5 and Becky Hill on July 6 – so fans can expect a diverse mix of rock, pop, electronic, and dance.

Last year’s event drew 480,000 attendees, making the Grand Prix weekend one of the UK’s most popular summer attractions. Alongside world-class racing, Silverstone is known for delivering top-tier live music, and Chief Commercial Officer Nick Read promises a lineup that builds on previous success. And the line-up is not final — additional support acts are still under wraps.

Interestingly, Fender and RAYE were rumored to have dated briefly in 2022 after getting close at the BRITs, although neither confirmed any relationship. Now, they are both gearing up for pivotal moments in their careers.

Fender is set to drop his third album, People Watching, tomorrow, adding to a busy schedule that includes a North American tour and a BRIT Awards performance on March 1. Meanwhile, RAYE is riding the wave of her three 2025 Grammy nominations — she performed Oscar Winning Tears at the ceremony and recently teamed up with Lisa and Doja Cat on Born Again.
