Formula 1 is soon to arrive deep in the heart of Texas. What’s more Southern than good hospitality? Over race weekend, Circuit of The Americas’ campus will light up with activity and it’s important to know what you will have access to.
First and foremost, stay after the track goes cold Friday through Sunday nights for a concert experience unlike any other. Friday, The Killers take over the Germania Insurance Super Stage to kick the weekend off. Saturday, Queen + Adam Lambert pick up the reigns for pre-race entertainment. On race day, prepare for COTA’s very own Dylan Gossett to lead the crowd in the United States National Anthem. Topping country streaming charts, Gossett released TikTok-famous song “Coal” on July 27 to great critical acclaim, including a feature on billboard.com. Listen to American Soundtrack artists ring across the hills throughout the three days gates are open to spectators.
