DON Diablo, a renowned Dutch DJ, will perform live in Bahrain during the Grand Prix weekend next month.
The global Top 10 DJ and producer will take to the stage at Bahrain International Circuit (BIC) on March 21.
He is the second internationally renowned artist lined up for the Formula 1 Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix 2020, which is scheduled to take place from March 19 to 22 in Sakhir.
Don Diablo joins fellow-DJ, producer and songwriter Afrojack as the major concert acts at this year’s highly anticipated race, with Afrojack entertaining fans on March 20.
BIC is expected to announce another major international artist, the headline act for March 21, soon.
All those with tickets to the four-day extravaganza will be able to attend the concerts.
“Don Diablo is a superstar in the music world and we are truly privileged and thrilled to have added him to our concert line-up for this year’s Formula 1 Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix,” said BIC chief executive Shaikh Salman bin Isa Al Khalifa.
“He is another high-calibre DJ who will be electrifying fans for a second straight night, following Afrojack on the Friday of the race weekend.
Pioneer
“We look forward to welcoming Don Diablo to Bahrain for another epic night of music.”
As a founding father of the future house movement, Don Diablo is widely considered as a pioneer in dance music.
He has earned praise from talent and tastemakers across the globe for major hits such as On My Mind, Take Her Place, What We Started, Chemicals and Cutting Shapes, and most recently his highly-acclaimed album Future.
For his own songs, Don Diablo has collaborated with artists such as Gucci Mane, Diplo, Emeli Sandé, Calum Scott, Ansel Elgort, Kelis, Alex Clare, Dragonette, Arizona, and Tiësto among others.
Among the other attractions at BIC over the race weekend are carnival games, children’s play areas, stage acts and roaming acts such as renowned street performer Abraham Thill, a life-sized Toy Brigade, a hot air balloons travelling parade, Funky Style Band from Italy, Jam Batucada musical show from Spain and long-time favourites at BIC events Dr Bubbles and Pop the Balloonman.
In addition to Formula 1, there will be plenty of other racing action in the Bahrain Grand Prix with three highly competitive support series: The Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA) Formula 2 Championship, the FIA Formula 3 Championship which will appear for the first time and the Porsche Sprint Challenge Middle East.
