South Florida Motorsports and Hard Rock International announced the entertainment program for the fifth edition of the Formula 1 Crypto.com Miami Grand Prix, set to run May 1-3 at the Miami International Autodrome.

Hard Rock, founding partner and live music curator for the event, will anchor the weekend through its trackside Hard Rock Beach Club, within Hard Rock Stadium. 

Zedd and Nelly are slated to open the race weekend on Friday, May 1. Marshmello and DJ Diesel, the stage name of NBA Hall of Famer Shaquille O'Neal, take the stage on Saturday, May 2, while house duo Loud Luxury and country artist Kane Brown close out Sunday, May 3. 

All performances will be broadcast on screens across the autodrome campus. The adjacent Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Hollywood will host a separate run of shows beginning April 30, with Guns N' Roses headlining Hard Rock Live that evening, followed by Nelly, Kane Brown and Marshmello the next day.

Katharina Nowak, President of the Formula 1 Crypto.com Miami Grand Prix said: "Year after year, Hard Rock continues to attract the world's best performers to our race, helping us bring the unmistakable energy of Miami to the circuit.

“With just one month until the fifth edition of the Miami Grand Prix, their iconic brand elevates our race week entertainment both at the track and at their signature Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood."

Keith Sheldon, President of Entertainment & Brand Management at Hard Rock International, said: "As you can tell, we're bringing a lot of different variety, but all the artists have incredible energy and will really help amplify the experience for the fans that are not only at Beach Club, but throughout the track. 

“We're talking about hip-hop, electronic dance music, a basketball star-turned-dubstep artist and an amazing country star all taking the same stage, maybe a little bit of what an international audience might not totally expect of Hard Rock, but it's who we've become as a brand."

South Florida Motorsports was named Formula 1 Promoter of the Year in both 2025 and at the Autosport Awards in January 2026.
