Sam Fender, Becky Hill and RAYE set for Silverstone performances this week

They will join a host of acts playing after the racing at the Silverstone circuit in Northamptonshire from Thursday.

Newcastle indie singer-songwriter Sam Fender kicks off proceedings on Thursday night with tickets available from £60.

Two-time BRIT Award winner Becky Hill will perform the national anthem ahead of the race on Sunday, with pioneering DJ and producer Fatboy Slim also set to play on the grid before the race.

During the event, there will also be performances by acts including Blossoms, JADE, Mabel, Idris and Mike Skinner.

Becky Hill said: “It’s an absolute honour to have the chance to perform the national anthem at Silverstone.

“As a British artist, it will be such a privilege to stand before the home crowd. I was here back in 2021 and this year I'm coming back with a lot more F1 knowledge. I'm so excited, and I feel very proud to be a part of it all.”

Fatboy Slim said: “I am honoured beyond belief to be playing on the grid. “One of those bucket list events you didn’t even dream to put on your bucket list. The adrenaline will be off the scale for me, possibly matched only by the drivers.”

More than 480,000 people attended Silverstone last year and the eclectic mix of British musical talent is helping to cement its place as a major fixture on both the sporting and music calendars.

During the weekend, there will also be performances by Sub Focus, Eats Everything and DJ Luck & MC Neat at the event’s T1 Afterparty. Silverstone 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.

“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.”

This year’s Formular 1 British Grand Prix runs from Thursday, July 3, to Sunday, July 6.

Indie rock quintet Blossoms will perform at Thursday’s opening concert, before Sam Fender’s headline set.

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

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

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

Prominent English DJ and record producer Eats Everything will be the Thursday night T1 Afterparty headliner.

Pioneering British musical duo DJ Luck & MC Neat will bring their distinctive blend of house music and UK garage on the Friday.

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