Silverstone, UK – In an unprecedented event, Calvin Harris, alongside Jess Glynne and Cat Burns, set the stage ablaze, fusing the best of British music and motorsport at the opening celebration of the Formula 1 Aramco British Grand Prix.

Marking the dawn of a new era of music at the iconic Silverstone venue, Cat Burns kicked off the unforgettable show with her hit songs "Go" and "Live More & Love More."

As the sun dipped below the horizon, Jess Glynne effortlessly captivated the crowd with her repertoire of classics, leaving the audience yearning for more. The "Rather Be" singer even treated fans to a sneak preview of an unreleased track, adding an extra layer of excitement to the night.

Then came Calvin Harris, the globally acclaimed artist, DJ, and producer, who took the atmosphere to unprecedented heights. Whether it was his long-standing favorite "I'm Not Alone" or his recent chart-topping hit "Miracle," Harris curated an exceptional set that delighted both his devoted fans and newfound admirers alike. The night reached its climax with a breathtaking fireworks display, officially launching the 2023 Formula 1 Aramco British Grand Prix.

A staggering crowd of 45,000 fans gathered for the inaugural Launch Party, hosted at Silverstone's newly expanded music arena. The staging was flawlessly executed by Library Productions, the visionary team behind the iconic Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury.

The Launch Party celebrated the pinnacle of British music and motorsport, meticulously curated by Jamie Scott. Scott, a Grammy-nominated and Ivor Novello Award-winning British songwriter and producer, assumed the position of Director of Music at Silverstone last year.

Reflecting on the incredible evening, Jamie Scott expressed his excitement, stating, "What a way to kick off the weekend here at Silverstone. We had three remarkable British acts who simply blew the roof off the stage. Our goal was to enhance the jubilant festival atmosphere, and last night took it to another level. I can't wait to continue the festivities with upcoming performances by Tom Grennan, Jax Jones, and the Black Eyed Peas throughout the weekend. And next year, we plan to elevate Silverstone into an even more grandiose summer highlight on both the British sports and music calendars!"

This year's Formula 1 Aramco British Grand Prix has introduced an exhilarating new music program, offering four spectacular evenings of live music and entertainment at no additional cost to existing ticket holders. Festival powerhouses Jax Jones (Friday), Black Eyed Peas (Saturday), and Tom Grennan (Sunday) are set to grace the stage throughout the weekend, promising unforgettable performances that will leave a lasting impression.
