Silverstone announce major 2025 musical lineup

The 2025 F1 calendar will feature 24 grand prix weekends, including six sprint races, and will take place in 21 countries across five continents, with the teams and drivers already preparing for what will be another endurance-sapping year of elite competition.

One of the most eagerly anticipated weekends of the year will once again take centre stage in July, with Silverstone set to host the iconic British Grand Prix.

Now, fans have been given further reason to get excited ahead of the big event after the organisers have announced the list of headline acts for its exciting music lineup.

Last year, the stellar selection of artists included Kings of Leon, Pete Tong, Stormzy and Rudimental, and this year bosses of the iconic event have promised the stars taking to the stage will put on an even better show.

Headlining on Thursday is BRIT Award-winning singer-songwriter Sam Fender, with chart-topper RAYE appearing on the main stage on Friday to perform her first UK outdoor show of the year.

Then on Saturday, it will be the turn of DJ and dance music legend Fatboy Slim to get fans' pulses racing, before vocal powerhouse Becky Hill closes the main stage on Sunday.

In a statement published on F1's official website, Silverstone’s chief commercial officer Nick Read said: "Over the past few years we have established Silverstone as a world-class venue that attracts the biggest and best artists to deliver unforgettable experiences, and it’s an honour to continue that as we announce Sam Fender, RAYE, Fatboy Slim, and Becky Hill as our stellar all-British headliners for the 2025 Formula 1 British Grand Prix Festival.

"Following the incredible success of last year’s music offering, we knew we had to raise the bar once again – and we’re thrilled to be delivering a lineup packed with homegrown talent at the very top of their game."

Over 480,000 tickets were purchased over the 2024 weekend as Hamilton secured an emotional home victory, but bosses have come under fierce criticism for their stance on tickets, with many - including Hamilton - sharing their frustrations regarding prices.
