Silverstone has officially revealed a standout lineup of DJ sets for the T1 afterparty at the 2026 Formula 1 Pirelli British Grand Prix. The event runs from Thursday, July 2nd, to Sunday, July 5th, promising four nights of high-octane energy at the circuit’s premier late-night destination.
The T1 afterparty is designed to bridge the gap between world-class motorsport and the UK’s vibrant dance music scene. John Newman kicks off the festivities on Thursday with a hybrid live PA and DJ set. Newman, a self-proclaimed Formula 1 superfan, expressed his excitement about performing at the iconic home of British racing.
On Friday night, Rudimental will take over the decks. Known for their high-impact drum and bass sound, the group is expected to bring a massive surge of energy to the fans. Saturday sees the arrival of Pendulum, the legendary electronic powerhouse, who will deliver a DJ set featuring their signature fusion of rock and electronic beats.
Global house music icon MK has been tapped to close the weekend on Sunday. His set will provide the ultimate finale to the Grand Prix celebrations, filled with feel-good dancefloor anthems. This announcement follows the news that David Guetta will headline the Silverstone Main Stage on Thursday night.
Silverstone’s Chief Commercial Officer, Nick Read, noted that T1 is at the heart of the venue’s entertainment strategy. After attracting a record-breaking 500,000 fans last summer, the circuit is expanding its four-day programme to include more music, art, and innovation than ever before.
For fans looking for a premium experience, T1 VIP tickets are available. These offer a dedicated bar and front-row views of the artists. Fans can also book VIP tables, which include champagne and dedicated host service to elevate the party atmosphere.
With the return of the Sprint Race and an ever-growing list of global music acts, the 2026 British Grand Prix is solidifying Silverstone's reputation as a year-round cultural destination. Tickets for the race and the official afterparties are available now via the Silverstone website.
