Silverstone has announced that Richard Ashcroft, Chase and Status and Rag N Bone Man will be headline performers at the upcoming British Grand Prix.

The trio of headliners, along with further support acts and DJs, are added to the previously announced David Guetta as performers at the British Grand Prix, which takes place at the circuit in Buckinghamshire and Northamptonshire. The race weekend runs from Thursday 2 to Sunday 5 July, with tickets for the race weekend on sale now.

The acts confirmed will follow the likes of Kings of Leon, Fatboy Slim, Sam Fender, Raye, Tom Grennan, Calvin Harris and The Black Eyed Peas in performing at Silverstone on Grand Prix weekend in recent years.

Joining David Guetta on Thursday 2 July for the opening night of the weekend on the newly re-named M&S Main Stage is multi-platinum pop star Anne-Marie, who has sung lead vocals on multiple top-10 pop hits such as 2002, Friends and Ciao Adios, as well as being a featured artist on hit songs such as Rockabye.

Friday 3 July will see a headline performance from former Verve lead singer Richard Ashcroft. As the former frontman of The Verve, Ashcroft sung on acclaimed songs such as Bittersweet Symphony and the UK Number 1 single The Drugs Don’t Work, with both songs featuring on the UK Number 1 album Urban Hymns. The singer has recently experienced a major upturn in popularity for his performances supporting Oasis on their major reunion tour last summer.

Alex James’ Britpop Classical joins as the support act, with the former Blur bass player bringing an orchestral reworking of Britpop favourites. The appearance comes as part of a major 2026 UK run that includes a headline date at London’s Royal Albert Hall.

Saturday 4 July will feature a headline performance by UK dance act Chase & Status take over the M&S Mainstage after the conclusion of the sprint event.

The duo at a time when they have picked up major recent serious momentum, including previously claiming the BRITs Producer of the Year award, and a live reputation for big, immersive sets that pull crowds in, with their tour having included a major solo headline show at the National Bowl in Milton Keynes. 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.

Irish dance breakout star Jazzy will join the Saturday night bill, bringing her club-rooted sound and style of electronic music to Silverstone as the warm-up before Chase and Status’ headline show

Rag’n’Bone Man has been confirmed as the headline performer on Sunday 5 July after the conclusion of the full British Grand Prix itself. His debut album Human hit Number 1 in the UK, making it one of the fastest-selling debut albums by a male artist ever, and it went on to pass one million combined sales in the UK. He will be joined by a Vikkstar DJ Set as support, with a run of music provided by the YouTuber-turned-DJ and producer.

Dance music icons John Newman, Pendulum, Rudimental and MK have also been confirmed as headline performers for 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 a further event. A stand-up comedy tent will also be part of the event, with names performing there to be confirmed in due course.
