Taking place on January 26-27, 2024, the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship race has put together an exciting lineup of both, regionally loved and globally renowned musical stars. Day 1 of the 2024 Diriyah E-Prix concerts will be headlined by Grammy-nominated band One Republic. The six-piece group known for their chart-topping tracks like ‘Apologize’, ‘Counting Stars’ and ‘I Ain’t Worried’ has previously performed in Saudi Arabia, where they held a show in Maraya, AlUla in 2022. On the opening night, One Republic will be joined by Lebanese pop sensation Nancy Ajram, who is bound to enchant the crowd with her powerhouse vocals, while Swedish DJ and music producer Alesso will have the concertgoers dancing the night away.

The second and final day of the concerts will see a major throwback as the headlining act Backstreet Boys take the stage. The ’90s heartthrobs and hitmakers are no strangers to the region, having performed here on a few occasions in the past, including their first time in Saudi Arabia in 2019 as part of Jeddah Season, and a May 2023 stop on their DNA World Tour. January 27 will also feature performances by Egyptian rock band Cairokee known for their revolutionary songs, and Dutch DJ Afrojack.
