Silverstone to host festival of entertainment at British Grand Prix

The British Grand Prix at Silverstone is gearing up for one of the events of the summer, with gripping F1 action and a four-day festival of music and comedy.

Formula 1 rolls into the home of British motorsport on 4-6 July and, having attracted record crowds of 480,000 people last summer when Lewis Hamilton scored a record-breaking ninth British Grand Prix victory, is set to go bigger and better this year.

The entertainment actually begins on Thursday, 3 July, when BRIT Award-winning singer-songwriter Sam Fender headlines the Opening Concert – part of a star-studded line up of music that includes RAYE, Fatboy Slim and Becky Hill.

Silverstone have confirmed that quintet indie rock band Blossoms will also perform on Thursday, with more acts announced across the weekend as part of an eclectic mix of British musical talent.

Friday will see former Little Mix star JADE bring her unique blend of pop and R&B influences to the main stage before RAYE’s first UK outdoor show of 2025.

On Saturday, Swedish-English singer Mabel will perform a catalogue of hits before Fatboy Slim headlines with his genre-defining beats.

Award-winning actor and musician Idris will take the stage on Sunday before Brit Award-winning singer-songwriter, and dance music powerhouse, Becky Hill closes the show on the main stage.

This year's T1 Afterparty headliners have also been announced, with prominent English DJ and record producer Eats Everything performing on Thursday, before pioneering British musical duo DJ Luck & MC Neat bring their distinctive blend of house music and UK garage on Friday.

Saturday will see Sub Focus bring his dynamic and genre-blending approach to electronic music to the stage, while on Sunday, Mike Skinner, the frontman of the influential UK garage project The Streets, will perform a very special DJ set.

It’s not just music on offer as the Comedy Club returns too, with some of the UK’s best comedians lighting up the Village stage on Friday and Saturday evening for lots of late-night laughs.

Silverstone’s Chief Commercial Officer Nick Read said: “This year, Silverstone is proud to showcase the best of British talent, bringing together iconic artists as we celebrate Formula 1's 75th anniversary as we continue to up our game.

“Our all-British music lineup reflects our commitment to delivering world-class entertainment that resonates with fans both on and off the track. We are delighted to welcome JADE, Mabel, Blossoms, Idris, Mike Skinner, Sub Focus, Eats Everything and DJ Luck & MC Neat to this year's line up.

“It’s a testament to the rich heritage of British motorsport and music that Silverstone has developed since hosting its first Formula 1 British Grand Prix 75 years ago, and we’re super excited to honour this milestone with an unforgettable festival experience.”
