The Formula 1 Miami Grand Prix from May 6 to May 8 at the Miami Internatio­nal Autodrome campus will offer more than just the fastest racecars in the world. The weekend event around Hard Rock Stadium will also feature some of the most wellknown musical acts and DJs such as Post Malone, The Chainsmoke­rs, Zedd and other performers.

The jam-packed weekend begins at the Hard Rock Beach Club on Friday in Miami Gardens, where iHeartRadi­o will bring featured DJs to the set at noon, including Y100 s DJ Drew, Xtreme and TU 94.9 s Germain Rodriguez.

iHeartRadi­o will continue the festivitie­s Saturday, with more DJs taking the twin decks to broadcast live from the Hard Rock Beach Club, which is a 24,000 square-foot beach between Turns 11, 12 and 13. The beach club also includes resort-style pools and two levels of luxury cabanas.

The DJs set to perform in the early portion on Saturday are 93.9 MIA’s DJ Laz, DJ Gianluca Vacchi, BLXST and Miami’s Grammy Award-winning DJ, Cedric Gervais.

Kicking off the Miami Grand Prix qualifying round on Saturday, Grammy-nominated Post Malone will perform a couple songs at the Miami Rock Beach Club. Award-winning DJ, record producer and songwriter, Zedd, will round out Saturday’s entertainm­ent at the beach club.

On Sunday, Grammy Award winner Tiësto will help close out the race festivitie­s along with the final headliner, The Chainsmoke­rs.

“As founding partners of the Formula 1 Crypto.com Miami Grand Prix, it was imperative for us to infuse the race week experience with the world-class entertainm­ent that Hard Rock is known for,” Hard Rock president of entertainm­ent Keith Sheldon said in a statement. “With some of the top names in music and pop culture performing for the entire campus from the Hard Rock Beach Club stage, the inaugural race in South Florida will offer race fans unpreceden­ted live music experience­s.”
