Jennifer Lopez to Headline Formula 1 STC Saudi Arabian Grand Prix 2025
Global pop icon Jennifer Lopez is set to take center stage at the Formula 1 STC Saudi Arabian Grand Prix 2025, scheduled to take place from April 18-20 in Jeddah.
The multi-talented performer will be part of an electrifying entertainment lineup powered by MDLBEAST, joining Grammy-winning artist Usher and electronic music sensation Major Lazer Soundsystem in delivering high-energy post-race concerts.
Renowned for her dynamic performances and chart-topping hits, Lopez's return to Saudi Arabia promises to be a highlight of the Grand Prix weekend, offering motorsports and music fans an unforgettable experience.
This marks her second major performance in the Kingdom, following her memorable appearance at Riyadh Season, where she shared the stage with Celine Dion to celebrate Lebanese designer Elie Saab's 45th anniversary —a moment that stood out as one of Saudi Arabia's biggest fashion and music spectacles.
Lopez's participation in the Formula 1 festivities further reinforces Saudi Arabia's growing status as a global hub for entertainment and major international events. With a diverse lineup of world-class artists, the Grand Prix weekend in Jeddah is set to be a thrilling fusion of speed, music, and entertainment.

Tom Hanks returning to the stage in new Off-Broadway production
Bang Showbiz | Los Angeles Tom Hanks is to star in an off-Broadway play he has co-written. The Oscar-winning star will be making a return to the stage for the first time since his 2013 Broadway debut in 'Lucky Guy' - for which he was nominated for a Tony Award - when he appears in 'This World of Tomorrow' at the 550-seat theatre The Shed in New York City. The production will premiere on 30 October and run for eight weeks until 21 December, and is described as a blend of romance and history with a dash of science fiction. The story follows a lonely scientist from the future who travels back in time to find love at the 1939 World's Fair in Queens and will feature a cast of 10 to 12 actors, with some taking on multiple roles. The 'Forrest Gump' actor said in a statement: 'To explore the themes of love and yearning, and the struggles of Today as we carry with us the eternal memories of the Past, in such a place as The Shed, strikes me as a one-of-a-kind experience not unlike the World's Fair of 1939.'
