Get ready for a night of epic hip-hop as Eminem takes the stage in Abu Dhabi on December 7th as the headliner for the highly-anticipated Yasalam After-Race Concerts. This marks the second time Eminem will grace the Yasalam stage, following his previous performance in the UAE capital.
The global hip-hop star, boasting an impressive 15 Grammy Awards, will headline the penultimate night of the concert series, which runs from December 5th to 8th. While the opening act is yet to be revealed, the lineup includes the beloved pop band Maroon 5 on the second night, followed by the legendary British rock stars Muse who will bring the 2024 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix to a resounding close.
Eminem’s performance will be his third trip to Abu Dhabi, following his F1 debut in 2012 and his return in 2019 as part of his Kamikaze World Tour. With a vast fanbase in the UAE, tickets are expected to sell out quickly following the announcement.
This year’s Abu Dhabi Grand Prix has generated significant buzz, marking seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton’s final race for Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 before his transition to Ferrari in 2025.
