- Fans enthralled by Kings Of Leon’s live performance as Abu Dhabi prepares for the final day of the 2009 Formula 1™ Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix










Celebrated American rockers Kings of Leon last night made their Middle East debut concert on Yas Island as part of the Yasalam after-race concerts, presented by Flash Entertainment. On the penultimate evening of the 2009 Formula 1™ Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, Kings of Leon wowed the crowds with a fantastic performance.

Kings of Leon joins the ranks of world-class acts that have already taken to the stage as part of Yasalam’s after-race concerts on Yas Island, including Beyoncé and Jamiroquai. The band mixed it up with a playlist of older songs and new hits including "Sex on Fire", "Use Somebody", "Notion", “King of the Rodeo”, “California Waiting” and “Revelry” for an arena full of up-for-it fans.

The final night of the Formula 1™ Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix will be brought to a close with a live performance from American rock legends Aerosmith on Sunday 1st November.

John Lickrish, Managing Director, Flash Entertainment said:

“To be able to offer race-goers the chance to see one of the most sought-after bands in the world performing for the first time in the region is a tremendous feat for Flash. Kings of Leon delivered a phenomenal performance wowing the crowd and leaving them exhilarated from a very special evening.

“Our ambition for the Yasalam after-race concerts has been to bring something unique to the 2009 Formula 1TM Abu Dhabi Grand Prix- to provide a line-up of artists that reflect the celebration felt by the Capital. Tonight’s concert most certainly left a huge impact on the crowd and indeed on the city”.

Performing as part of the ‘Yasalam on Yas Island’ celebrations, Kings of Leon is the third and penultimate act of a star-studded line-up of the world’s best musical talent who are performing over the race weekend. Their performance follows on from Beyonce’s opening night concert and Jamiroquai’s performance on Friday 30th November. Tomorrow sees Aerosmith provide the thrilling climax to the 2009 Formula 1TM Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
