The first names in the star-studded music line-up for the 2024 British Grand Prix have been announced by Silverstone today. After attracting a record crowd of 480,000 this summer, the home of British motorsport is set to go bigger and better when it hosts an eclectic mix of music heavyweights next year.
With an unprecedented four-day festival line-up, Silverstone is set to take its revamped music and arts offering to a new level and cement its position as a summer highlight on both Britain’s sporting and music calendars.
On Friday, generational icon Stormzy, who has only played once in the UK this year, will perform his catalog of hits in an unforgettable, once-in-a-lifetime show. With multiple BRIT Awards, three number one albums and over a billion global streams, Stormzy is no stranger to the festival circuit and will make history as the first British rapper to headline Glastonbury in 2019.
On Saturday, fans can look forward to summer grooves as Pete Tong presents Ibiza Classics with Jules Buckley and The Essential Orchestra, before Rudimental bring the weekend to a close with a stomping live set on Sunday.
Headline and support acts for the iconic Thursday night opening concert, which kicked off the 2023 British Grand Prix to a sell-out crowd earlier this year, will be announced in the coming weeks.
Silverstone commercial director Nick Read said: “Our long-term ambition has always been to establish Silverstone as a venue that attracts the world’s biggest and best artists to put on a spectacular show for British fans. I’m honored to announce Stormzy, Pete Tong and Rudimental as the first names to join our 2024 British Grand Prix line-up.
