The Formula 1 British Grand Prix has announced its headliners for 2025, with Sam Fender and RAYE leading the line-up. Find all the details below.
The historic motor racing event is due to take place at the iconic Silverstone Circuit in Northamptonshire between July 3-6.
Today (February 20), organisers have confirmed who’ll be topping the bill when the F1 hosts “an eclectic mix of British music heavyweights this year”, having attracted record crowds of 480,000 last summer.
Fender, who releases his third album ‘People Watching’ tomorrow (February 21), is set to headline Silverstone on Thursday July 3. RAYE will then close out proceedings the following day (Friday July 4) with her first outdoor UK show of 2025.
Joining the pair on the line-up are Fatboy Slim (headlining Saturday July 5) and Becky Hill (headlining Sunday July 6).
Hill said: “I can’t wait to be back at Silverstone to headline the final night at the Formula 1 British Grand Prix. It’s going to be a huge weekend of high-energy action on the track and on the stage!”
The support acts for Silverstone’s Formula 1 British Grand Prix 2025 and details of further scheduled entertainment will be announced in the coming weeks. Tickets are on sale now – you can buy yours here.
Nick Read, Silverstone’s Chief Commercial Officer, commented: “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.
“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 line-up packed with homegrown talent at the very top of their game.”
The 2024 F1 British Grand Prix saw the likes of Kings Of Leon, Stormzy, Pete Tong and Rudimental take to the stage at Silverstone.
Fender will also headline Radio 1’s Big Weekend 2025 in May ahead of his huge stadium concerts in London and Newcastle this summer. Last week, the singer-songwriter announced more outdoor UK and Ireland gigs in Manchester, Edinburgh and Belfast. Find tickets here.
Next month, Fender is due to perform at the BRIT Awards 2025 where he is nominated for Artist Of The Year and Alt/Rock Act. He recently shared the latest preview of his new album ‘People Watching’ in the form of ‘Remember My Name’.
Meanwhile, RAYE will headline this year’s Boardmasters alongside Central Cee and The Prodigy. She’ll also top the bill at All Points East 2025 in London this August, with Tyla, Doechii and former Little Mix member JADE supporting.
RAYE was nominated for two Grammys earlier this month, Best New Artist and Songwriter Of The Year, Non-Classical, but went home empty-handed. However, she did deliver an epic performance of ‘Oscar Winning Tears’ at the ceremony.
