Another performer will join Perry for the race weekend. According to announcers, Scottish producer and DJ Calvin Harris will entertain the fans as the other headliner. This will mark a continuation of his relationship with the open wheel racing series.
Harris previously performed at Bahrain in 2013, Singapore in 2017, Abu Dhabi in 2017, Saudi Arabia in 2023, and Silverstone in 2023.
The Azerbaijan Grand Prix will mark the 15th round of what has been an altered schedule. The ongoing conflict between the United States and Iran forced the FIA to cancel both the April 12 Grand Prix in Bahrain and the April 19 Grand Prix in Saudi Arabia.
The teams had the entire month of April off before returning to action in South Florida. They took on the Miami Grand Prix on May 3 as Kimi Antonelli won his third consecutive event.
