As the sun sets over the Arabian Gulf and the F50s make their final splash on Saturday, Olly will take to the stage for the Après-Sail presented by Mastercard, turning the SailGP Race Stadium into one massive open-air party.

The performance lands just eight days after the release of Olly’s eighth studio album Knees Up, and fans can expect to hear hits like Troublemaker and Dance With Me Tonight.

Backed by a full band, it’s set to be an all-singing, all-dancing celebration right by the water.

The good vibes continue on Sunday, 30 November, when Mark Wright, TV personality, DJ and Heart Radio presenter, keeps the energy high with another round of Après-Sail beats to close out an epic weekend of sport and entertainment.

Olly and Mark will also kick off the festivities with a live broadcast of their Heart Saturday Breakfast show, streaming straight from Abu Dhabi.

And for those looking to take things up a notch, Mastercard is bringing the luxury with its exclusive Priceless Lounge experience in the Waterfront Premium Lounge, catered by Nobu by the Beach.

Mastercard cardholders will also unlock behind-the-scenes access with Priceless Experiences, including a Tech Walk Tour to see the innovation powering those lightning-fast catamarans.

Across the weekend, expect the SailGP Race Stadium and Waterfront Grandstand to buzz with energy, from roaming performers and hype hosts to live music and dramatic F50 fly-bys just metres from shore.

With 12 national teams battling it out at over 100km/h for the Rolex SailGP Championship trophy and a US$2 million prize, Mina Zayed will transform into the ultimate festival of sport, culture and live entertainment.

Following last year’s debut featuring Take That, SailGP Abu Dhabi is stepping things up again, joining the ranks of global events that have hosted big-name acts like Pete Tong, Tom Grennan, and Loud Luxury.
