Imagine Dragons play Abu Dhabi on 5 December 2026, bringing their American pop-rock show to Etihad Live on Yas Island during Abu Dhabi Grand Prix week. The date places the band in the Saturday concert programme surrounding the Formula 1 event.
Yasalam’s four-day programme includes the Abu Dhabi date
The Abu Dhabi Grand Prix concert programme runs from 3 to 6 December 2026. The Abu Dhabi concert listing places Imagine Dragons at Etihad Live on 5 December, with the renamed live-music setting based on Yas Island.
An Ethara announcement names Imagine Dragons as the Saturday headline act for the After-Race Concerts and places the programme at Etihad Park. The booking therefore connects the band’s live performance with a four-day motorsport and music programme rather than a standalone club date.
Imagine Dragons bring pop-rock to the Yas Island stage
The group are identified as an American pop-rock band, with Dan Reynolds as their frontman. Their published Abu Dhabi programme names familiar songs including Radioactive, Believer and Thunder, while describing a performance built around heavy percussion.
The 5 December 2026 booking places that percussion-led sound inside a larger international line-up. It also gives the Abu Dhabi weekend a clear musical shape, with rock and pop acts spread across the days before and after the Formula 1 programme.
