International rap and r&b acts fill out Abu Dhabi F1 weekend ancillary concerts…

It looks like things are finally shaping up for the Abu Dhabi F1 weekend with a trio of massive international artists having been announced for a series of ancillary concerts taking place over the race weekend.

Performing at the Palm Garden nightclub at the swanky Yas Viceroy Abu Dhabi, Busta Rhymes, Craig David and Rick Ross will take the stage on consecutive nights starting from Friday 25 November as part of The Rich List’s fifth anniversary celebrations.


No stranger to the UAE, Busta Rhymes will things off on Friday 24 November. Hot on the heels of a stand-out Dubai gig back in May, you can expect the multi-Grammy nominated rapper to bring his unique style and intensity to his performance at the Palm Garden.

Saturday 25 November sees the of UK R&B favourite Craig David to the F1 races, having last headlined the Amber Lounge parties back in 2015. He’ll be bringing his popular TS5 show, and undoubtedly performing crowd-pleasing crooners like Walking Away  and 7 Days.

Closing out proceedings is American rapper and producer Rick Ross, making his Abu Dhabi debut with the final of the three nights on Sunday 26 November. He recently performed in Dubai at the newly launched BASE superclub to a packed house and F1 audiences can expect to hear tracks from his impressive roster of hits including Hustlin’ and Hold Me Back.

Set times and ticket prices are yet to be confirmed, but inquiries and reservations can be made by emailing The Rich List or calling 052 942 8161.
