Richard Ashcroft, Chase & Status and Rag’n’Bone Man added to British Grand Prix line-up

Organisers of the event have today announced a host of new names who will join previously announced acts including David Guetta on the main stage when the event returns in July.

On Friday, July 3, one of the most celebrated voices in British music, Richard Ashcroft, will headline with a set packed with era-defining tracks.

As the former frontman of The Verve, Ashcroft helped deliver some of the defining records of a generation, including the UK Number 1 single ‘The Drugs Don’t Work’ and the UK Number 1 album Urban Hymns.

With a solo career that includes a UK Number 1 album, Alone With Everybody, this is a headline set built for a crowd as big and vocal as Silverstone.

Support will be Alex James’ Britpop Classical, with his orchestral reworking of Britpop favourites, fresh from a major 2026 UK run that includes a headline date at London’s Royal Albert Hall.

The following night will see Chase & Status take over the M&S Mainstage for a night set to keep Silverstone buzzing long after the track action ends.

Fans can expect to hear standout tracks including UK Number 1 single ‘BACKBONE’, ‘Baddadan’ and ‘Disconnect’ with Becky Hill, who headlined the British Grand Prix last year.

They’ve also previously claimed the BRITs Producer of the Year award, recognition of the culture-shifting moments that have kept them at the forefront of UK electronic music. Irish dance breakout Jazzy will join the Saturday night bill, bringing her sleek, club-rooted sound and one of the freshest voices in electronic music to Silverstone.

Bringing the curtain down, Rag’n’Bone Man will headline Sunday 5 July with his signature powerhouse vocals.

His debut album, Human, reached Number 1 in the UK, becoming one of the fastest-selling debut albums by a male artist, and went on to pass one million combined sales in the UK.

He will be joined by a Vikkstar DJ set as support, adding another hit of late-weekend party atmosphere.

Joining David Guetta on Thursday 2 July will be multi-platinum pop star Anne-Marie, whose run of chart-smashing hits and huge live energy will make her the perfect addition to Silverstone’s opening night.

With a catalogue spanning fan favourites such as 2002, Friends, and Ciao Adios, she will bring a feel-good set built for one of the biggest crowds in British sport.

Silverstone’s Chief Commercial Officer Nick Read said: “The British Grand Prix is one of the most watched and most talked-about weekends in sport and the atmosphere here is genuinely world-class.

“That is why artists want to be part of it. With David Guetta, Richard Ashcroft, Chase & Status, and Rag’n’Bone Man confirmed, we have a line-up that reflects the global pull of this event and gives fans unforgettable nights alongside the on-track action.”

Marks & Spencer will take centre stage at this summer’s Formula 1 Pirelli British Grand Prix as sponsor of the M&S Mainstage.

Last summer, 500,000 attended Silverstone across four days – helping to establish the event as far more than a race weekend.

Other acts heading to Silverstone include John Newman, Pendulum, Rudimental and MK who will be performing at the T1 afterparty.

The biggest names in darts will also be at Silverstone for a special exhibition match with Luke Littler, Luke Humphries, Michael van Gerwen and Fallon Sherrock stepping up to the oche at the track’s BOXPARK.

In recent years, the Northamptonshire circuit has continued to establish itself as a cultural destination beyond the track, a year-round venue that brings together sport, music, art, and innovation.

From hosting major concerts and lifestyle festivals to developing new visitor attractions, exhibitions and community events, Silverstone is redefining what a modern Grand Prix circuit can be.

The expansion of its music and arts programme reflects the venue’s ambition to offer fans a world-class experience both on and off the circuit.
