Bahrain International Circuit (BIC) and Sepang International Circuit (SIC) announced that Grammy-nominated artist, DJ and producer Axwell will perform live at SIC on Saturday 3 October, as part of the Formula 1 Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix in Malaysia 2026, taking place from 2 to 4 October.
The announcement follows confirmation that multi-platinum-selling hitmaker Martin Garrix will headline the post-race concert on Sunday 4 October.
Ticket upgrades for each concert will be available exclusively to race-weekend ticket holders who purchase their tickets by midnight on 8 September. From 9 September, ticket holders may upgrade for US$50 per person for the Axwell concert and US$100 per person for the Martin Garrix concert. A separate ticket is required for each concert.
All concert ticket upgrades are subject to availability and will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis due to the venue’s limited capacity. Upgrade instructions will be sent directly to ticket holders by email.
Fans wishing to take advantage of the concert upgrade option are encouraged to purchase their race-weekend tickets before the midnight deadline on 8 September. Tickets are available through the Bahrain International Circuit website at bahraingp.com or by calling the BIC Hotline on +973-17450000.
Axwell is the co-founder of both Swedish House Mafia and Axwell Λ Ingrosso. In 1995, he dropped his very first vinyl, adopting the moniker OXL. By the turn of the century, he emerged as a sought-after remixer, delivering popular remixes of “Burn” by Usher, “Ma, I Don’t Love Her” by Clipse and Faith Evans, “Maybe” by N*E*R*D, “Angel” by Pharrell, “Promiscuous” by Nelly Furtado, and “Jump” by Madonna, to name a few.
As part of Swedish House Mafia, he notched back-to-back Grammy nominations in the category of “Best Dance Recording” for the platinum “Save the World” in 2012 and quintuple-platinum “Don’t You Worry Child” in 2013. Later, as part of Axwell Λ Ingrosso he was vaulted to the forefront of electronic music with a 2017 full-length debut, More Than You Know. “Something New”, “On My Way”, “Sun Is Shining”, “I Love You” [feat. Kid Ink], the gold-certified “More Than You Know,” and “Dreamer” [feat. Trevor Guthrie], were all hits. The album generated a staggering five billion total streams and counting.
Axwell has also claimed a spot on DJ Mag’s “Top 100 DJs” list nine times and won four DJ Awards.
