Bahrain International Circuit (BIC), ‘The Home of Motorsport in the Middle East’, is bringing one of the world’s top circus acts to Sakhir for the Formula 1 Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix 2025.
The F1 spectacle is just over a week away, scheduled for 11 to 13 April as the fourth round of the 2025 FIA Formula 1 World Championship.
To add to the top-class motor racing action, BIC has lined up an incredible off-track entertainment programme, with Circus Cortex being one of the leading attractions.
Circus Cortex is an electrifying circus group that dazzles audiences with jaw-dropping performances. This year’s event celebrates the 75th anniversary of both Formula 1 and Bahrain’s national carrier and grand prix title sponsor Gulf Air.
All grandstand tickets to the highly anticipated grand prix weekend have already completely sold out, including seats at the Main, Turn 1, Beyon, University, and Victory grandstands.
Fans who have missed out on these seats can still get tickets to BIC’s last remaining hospitality option, The Dome by F1 Experiences, but there is only very limited availability.
The Dome by F1 Experiences features a dedicated grandstand located along the Main Straight with comfortable, seat-back style seating. Fans can enjoy exceptional views of the Podium and pit entry, and also see the cars as they navigate the final turn before accelerating down the track. The package also includes complimentary lunch dishes, lite bites, refreshments and live performances by DJs, roaming entertainers and more between track sessions.
Also as part of the off-track attractions for the whole family is a series of live concerts on all three nights of F1 weekend.
On the Friday night on 11 April, multi-platinum DJ and producer Fadil El Ghoul, better known as R3HAB, will be hitting the stage at BIC. International dance music superstar Peggy Gou will then be putting on a show on the Saturday night on 12 April. Then, on Sunday night on 13 April, Grammy-nominated artist, DJ, and producer Axwell will be bringing the curtain down on the grand prix weekend with a spectacular post-race celebration off the track.
All those with tickets to F1 weekend will be able to enjoy the concert series at no extra cost.
Also, the fan-favourite Ferris Wheel is back, a Kids Race Festival featuring popular characters such as Ben10, the PowerPuff Girls, Sonic the Hedgehog, Popeye, and more will be on hand, as well as spectacular other shows.
A special charity auction has been launched by BIC in the lead-up to F1 weekend, aiming to raise money for the Royal Humanitarian Foundation. With the generosity of many of the F1 teams, BIC has gathered an incredible selection of unique items of F1 memorabilia along with some amazing donations from Gulf Air. The auction is now live and will continue until race day on 13 April. It can be accessed on the mazad.app under the ‘BIC Memorabilia’ category.
Furthermore, fans can now enjoy all that is on offer at the Beyon Money BIC Fan Village, open daily at Block 338 in Adliya until 9 April.
The village is free of charge, and it is a celebration of motorsport as it brings the spirit of the F1 Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix to the public, in the heart of Bahrain’s capital.
The entertainment includes daily live performances from a mix of bands and DJs, motorsport activations such as racing simulators and a giant Scalextric, an F1 show car, reaction games, Beyon Money activations, a photo booth, a craft village, roaming family entertainment, street artists, various kids’ attractions, and so much more.
The experience is open every day from 1pm to 12am on weekends and from 6pm to 12am on all other days.
