The 2026 Dutch Grand Prix will close a historic chapter in Formula One history. The race, scheduled for 21‑23 August, will be the last time Zandvoort hosts F1 after the promoter chose to exit the calendar.  

Super Friday, held on Saturday, turns the fan zone into a lively music festival. International DJ Afrojack will open the show, joined by local acts Flemming, Kraantje Pappie, Snelle and Snollebollekes. The day will also feature Q&A sessions where Formula One drivers answer questions from the crowd, adding a personal touch to the event.  

Track action will not be limited to music. Saturday will see Sprint Qualifying, marking the first time the F1 Sprint format is used at Zandvoort. The full weekend promises a mix of high‑speed racing and entertainment that appeals to families, friends, and music lovers alike.  

Sunday’s finale will spotlight Dutch DJ Martin Garrix, whose performance is set to be the climax of the weekend. Fans can expect an unforgettable closing act that blends music and motorsport excitement.  

Tickets are on sale through the official F1 ticketing platform, and early reports suggest the event will sell out quickly due to its unique combination of racing and live music.
