SailGP 2025 season launches in Dubai with star-studded performances

The Emirates Dubai Sail Grand Prix, presented by P&O Marinas, is set to kick off its 2025 season with an exciting weekend of racing and entertainment on November 23-24.

This year, the event will feature performances by renowned music artists Tinie Tempah and Craig David.

Tinie Tempah, one of the UK’s most successful rappers, will perform after the opening day of racing on Saturday, bringing his biggest hits to the SailGP Race Stadium.

On Sunday, Craig David will close out the event with his iconic TS5 DJ set following the winner-takes-all Grand Final, promising a vibrant end to the competition.

Both artists will perform exclusively in the Waterfront Premium Lounge presented by Nikki Beach, which will offer premium hospitality, live DJs, and front-row seating for fans to enjoy the high-speed racing action on the pristine waters of Mina Rashid.

The performances will also be broadcast live on large screens throughout the Race Stadium, ensuring that all attendees can partake in the celebration.

SailGP’s Chief Marketing Officer, Leah Davis, expressed excitement emphasising the commitment to creating unforgettable experiences both on and off the water.

This year’s event promises to be one of the most memorable in SailGP history, with 11 teams set to compete including new entrants Brazil and Italy. This marks a significant expansion for the event and highlights Dubai's growing prominence as a global sports hub.

Davis noted, “We’re thrilled to partner with Nikki Beach for our 2025 season opening event. The combination of world-class racing and live music will create an electrifying atmosphere for fans.”
