Hard Rock and Formula 1 Miami Grand Prix Reveal Star-Studded Fifth Anniversary Entertainment Lineup

As the founding partner and live music curator of the event, Hard Rock will once again play a central role in shaping the race weekend atmosphere. Its signature Hard Rock Beach Club, located trackside within Hard Rock Stadium, will serve as the focal point for performances, bringing together world-class artists and fans in a uniquely vibrant setting.

The weekend’s music lineup promises a diverse mix of genres and high-energy performances. On Friday, May 1, electronic music star Zedd and hip-hop icon Nelly will kick off the festivities. Saturday’s program will feature globally recognized DJ Marshmello alongside DJ Diesel—the stage name of NBA Hall of Famer Shaquille O'Neal—bringing an unexpected crossover of sports and music. The weekend will conclude on Sunday with performances from house duo Loud Luxury and country star Kane Brown.

All performances will be broadcast across large screens throughout the autodrome campus, ensuring fans across the venue can be part of the experience regardless of where they are watching the race.

Beyond the track, the nearby Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Hollywood will host its own series of concerts beginning April 30. Legendary rock band Guns N' Roses will headline the opening night at Hard Rock Live, followed by additional performances from Nelly, Kane Brown, and Marshmello the next day, extending the celebration well beyond race weekend.

Katharina Nowak, President of the Miami Grand Prix, praised Hard Rock’s continued contribution, noting that the brand consistently attracts top-tier performers and enhances the event’s signature Miami energy. Keith Sheldon, President of Entertainment & Brand Management at Hard Rock International, emphasized the diversity of the lineup, highlighting a blend of hip-hop, electronic dance music, and country acts that reflect the brand’s evolving identity and global appeal.

The announcement comes as South Florida Motorsports continues its award-winning run, having been named Formula 1 Promoter of the Year in both 2025 and at the 2026 Autosport Awards.
