Booker to perform live

Manama : Bahrain International Circuit (BIC) announced yesterday that American singer-songwriter Benjamin Booker will be performing live at the Formula 1 2018 Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix.

Booker will be taking to the stage on the Saturday night of the race weekend, which is scheduled to take place at “The Home of Motorsport in the Middle East” from April 6 to 8.

All three-day ticket holders to the Grand Prix will be able to attend the concert at no extra charge.

Booker is the second major international artist announced by BIC for this year’s Grand Prix. He joins the legendary Carlos Santana, who will be performing on the Friday night of the weekend.

Booker is one of music’s rising stars. The 28-year-old’s style has been described as “a raw brand of blues/boogie/soul” and as “bright, furious, explosive garage rock.”

His concert at the Grand Prix will mark his debut appearance in the Kingdom of Bahrain.

Booker has produced two critically acclaimed studio albums. The first was a self-titled record released in 2014 and it was followed by “Witness” last year.

Tickets to the Formula 1 2018 Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix can be purchased at the BIC stand at Bahrain City Centre. They can also be bought online at www.bahraingp.com or by calling the BIC Hotline on +973-17-450000.
