This initiative is part of Ethara's dedication to promoting health and wellness within the community. Additionally, attendees can enjoy the thrills of Yas Island's adventure parks and the renowned Yasalam After-Race Concerts.
In a significant collaboration, Ethara has partnered with Live Nation to enhance the event's entertainment quotient.

With over 30 million albums sold worldwide, Muse's participation is set to heighten the excitement and entertainment at this year's grand prix, according to Live Nation.
The Abu Dhabi Grand Prix has not only solidified its position as a premier event in the Formula 1 calendar but also as a linchpin for the local economy, bolstering Abu Dhabi's status as a leading destination for tourism and leisure on a global scale. The collaboration with Live Nation and the inclusion of top-tier musical acts like Muse underscore the event's commitment to providing unparalleled experiences for its attendees, both on and off the track.
