Bahrain International Circuit (BIC), ‘The Home of Motorsport in the Middle East’, announced today that global dance superstar Peggy Gou will be performing live at the Formula 1 Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix 2025. The dance music icon will be hitting the stage on the Saturday night of F1 weekend on 12 April.

Gou is just the first musical act announced by BIC for the highly anticipated sporting and entertainment extravaganza, taking place 11 to 13 April in Sakhir. It will be the fourth round of the 2025 FIA Formula 1 World Championship, which is celebrating F1’s landmark 75th anniversary.

All those with tickets to the grand prix weekend will be able to enjoy Gou’s concert at no extra cost.

Few artists in recent memory have made such an impact on popular culture as Peggy Gou. From underground sensation to global icon, she has become one of the world’s most recognisable and recognised names in dance music and beyond.

As the founder of music and design label Gudu and as a keen collaborator with a family of distinctive creatives, Gou has distilled these passions into a celebration of electronic music and alternative culture, a personal vision that resonates universally.

Gou’s natural feel for the warmth, joy, and freedom of house and techno’s legacy led to a run of irresistible releases that quickly became international hits. Gou Talk, It Makes You Forget (Itgehane), Starry Night, Jigoo (with US house music legend Maurice Fulton), Nabi (with fellow Korean sensation OHHYUK) and I Go have earned international acclaim. These iconic tracks have led to a touring schedule that has taken in the world’s leading clubs and festivals, from Glastonbury to Dekmantel, De School to Printworks, alongside her own personally curated ‘Pleasure Gardens’ – an annual sell-out one-day festival in London’s Finsbury Park, now in its fourth year.

In 2023, Gou teamed up with XL Recordings for the release of “(It Goes Like) Nanana”. The single is Gou’s first release for the label and the first track from her hotly anticipated debut album. Her first new music in two years, “(It Goes Like) Nanana” has quickly become a worldwide phenomenon. Topping the singles charts in multiple countries and soon to be streamed over a quarter of a billion times, it sees Gou straddling the underground and mainstream in a way most artists can only aspire to.
