By Shivani Dubey | 12 March 2025 | Motoring, Sport
This summer, Silverstone will be celebrating the landmark 75 year anniversary of Formula 1 at the British Grand Prix with a cocktail of motorsports and entertainment
Formula 1 is turning 75. And to celebrate this landmark milestone, the Silverstone circuit is pulling out all the stops at the 2025 Formula 1 British Grand Prix. The Silverstone F1 weekend is one of the most anticipated weekends in the motorsport calendar. In 2024, Lewis Hamilton won here for the ninth time in his career, making it a historic win for the Brit.
This season, which will take place from 3 to 6 July, also promises fierce competition. With Hamilton now part of Ferrari and so many new faces joining the F1 roster this year, it is sure to be an eventful weekend.
To celebrate the 75 year anniversary of this sport, the British Grand Prix will kick off with an electrifying opening concert followed by a weekend of non-stop action on and off the track. Silverstone has also tapped some of the biggest names in British music to help kick things into high gear. So if you plan to attend the British GP this year, you are in for a treat.

Kicking off the opening concert on the main stage will be BRIT award-winning artist Sam Fender. The all-British line-up of headlining acts also includes multi award-winning artist Raye, the chart-topping Becky Hill and DJ Fatboy Slim, with more acts to be announced soon.
Alternative stages to explore include Made At Vale, where guests can enjoy high-energy fun with mass participation entertainment, hear from F1 personalities or tune into tech talks and live podcasts at Drivers Inn.
Another highlight at this year’s Grand Prix is the Fan Zone, which will offer fans non-stop competitive fun including a wheel-changing pit-stop challenge, a reaction-testing Batak light wall and racing simulators. There is also a rare opportunity to see today’s Formula 1 cars up close.

If you’re bringing the little ones along, the Family Zone has endless entertainment for junior fans and big kids alike. And, when you’re ready to refuel, pick from a delicious variety of festival-style food and drink across the site.
Silverstone’s official afterparty will keep pulses racing long after the final car has crossed the track, with world-class DJs on the decks (to be announced soon). Previous headliners include Joel Corry, Sigala and Jungle.
Suffice to say, the 2025 Formula 1 British Grand Prix at Silverstone will be one to remember.
