Why so late? The sessions run deep into the Malaysian evening — qualifying runs to midnight local, the race starts at 11 PM. If you're going, plan for a late night out and transport home after dark.

Concerts: Axwell and Martin Garrix

Updated September 13, 2026.

Post-race concerts are confirmed for the weekend. Axwell (of Swedish House Mafia) plays Saturday, October 3, and Martin Garrix plays the post-race concert on Sunday, October 4.

Concert access is a paid upgrade on top of a race-weekend ticket — US$50 for Axwell, US$100 for Garrix. Upgrades were offered to ticket holders who bought by midnight September 8; the upgrade window opened September 9 on a first-come, first-served basis, with instructions emailed directly to eligible holders. If you bought after the cutoff, check with the circuit — availability is capacity-limited.

Support series

Support-race programming is still to be confirmed.
