Hard Rock International Marks Five Years at the Formula 1 Miami Grand Prix With Its Biggest Lineup Yet

The Formula 1® Crypto.com Miami Grand Prix is back for its fifth year — and Hard Rock International has made sure the entertainment matches the energy on the track. The race weekend lineup for May 1–3, 2026, at the Miami International Autodrome in Miami Gardens has officially been announced, and it is, without question, the most genre-spanning, generation-crossing music program the event has produced yet.

Hard Rock International, the founding partner and curator of live music at the Miami Grand Prix’s iconic trackside Hard Rock Beach Club, has assembled a roster that moves from Grammy-winning electronic to hip-hop to country to dubstep — proof that the Miami Grand Prix has become as much a cultural event as a sporting one.

On Friday, May 1, Grammy Award-winning DJ and producer Zedd opens the weekend at the Hard Rock Beach Club alongside legendary rapper Nelly. Zedd — whose collaborations with Hayley Williams, Selena Gomez, Alessia Cara, and Maren Morris have collectively amassed billions of streams worldwide — brings the kind of headline energy that a race weekend demands. Nelly, one of the defining voices of hip-hop and the fourth-best-selling rap artist in American music history according to the RIAA, needs no further introduction. Together, Friday night sets the bar high.

Saturday, May 2, belongs to two of the most high-energy performers in the game. Marshmello — one of the fastest-rising dance producers in history with over 30 billion streams and 300 consecutive sold-out shows worldwide — takes the Hard Rock Beach Club stage alongside DJ Diesel, the bass-driven EDM persona of NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal. If there is a more fitting pairing for a Formula 1 race day, it has not been announced yet.

Closing out race weekend on Sunday, May 3, are Canadian house duo Loud Luxury — whose breakout hit “Body” is now Diamond-certified in Canada with over 2 billion streams worldwide — and country superstar Kane Brown, the first artist in history to lead all five of Billboard’s main country charts simultaneously. With two songs in country music’s Top 5 most-streamed tracks of all time, both certified 5X Platinum, Brown brings a genre-defying energy to a Sunday set that will be anything but a quiet finish.

The music extends well beyond the Miami International Autodrome. On Thursday, April 30, Guns N’ Roses — the legendary Los Angeles rock band with over 100 million records sold worldwide and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees — kicks off race weekend with a highly anticipated performance at the 7,000-capacity Hard Rock Live at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Hollywood. Kane Brown, Marshmello, and Nelly will follow on Friday, May 1, with Marshmello and Kane Brown extending the night at DAER Nightclub.

Perched on the outside of Turns 11-13 at the Miami International Autodrome, the Hard Rock Beach Club is one of the most coveted hospitality experiences at the Miami Grand Prix. Exclusively available to ticket holders, the venue features cabana-style seating, bars, all-day cuisine, giant trackside displays, and the live performances that have made it a destination within a destination. Tickets are available at F1MiamiGP.com.

It’s no secret that the Formula 1 Miami Grand Prix has become one of the most anticipated weekends on the global social calendar — and with a fifth-year lineup of this caliber, 2026 is set to be its best edition yet. Clear your calendar for May 1–3.
