One of the largest city-wide entertainment programme ever seen by any F1 host city, Yasalam, will return to Abu Dhabi for the third consecutive year.

Almost one million people have been to Yasalam events since the unique programme was launched in 2009. The programme offers families an engaging, fun-filled, safe, and accessible variety of city-wide entertainment experiences and activities tailored to appeal to diverse communities and visitors of all ages and backgrounds.

Two winners will be chosen to receive invitations to the Yasalam Friday after-race concert from the ones who have registered their details on the website. Those who have registered their details have been sent a video web link today announcing the Yasalam program and artist-line up, the company said.

Off the island, the Abu Dhabi corniche beach concerts will feature performances from superstars including Lebanese icon Najwa Karam, Saber Al Robai, British RnB sensation Jay Sean, Wyclef Jean, K-Pop artists Seo in Young, and Nine Muses, the statement said.

Flash Entertainment spokesperson, Shatha Al Romaithi, said that Yasalam was revealing some exciting new additions to the program including Tropfest Arabia and Cut&Paste Abu Dhabi, while the popular ‘Cinema by the Sea’ will feature the UAE’s first public screening of the documentary sweeping the racing world; Senna.

“Yasalam is an extravaganza of hip, fun, and exciting high-energy events that will engage the entire community and act as a welcoming expression to our visitors through the multitude of entertaining activities and events taking place across our entire city,” Romaithi said.
