Circuit of the Americas pairs the 2026 United States Grand Prix concerts by day: Maroon 5 on Friday, Oct. 23, Post Malone on Saturday, Oct. 24, and Alesso on Sunday, Oct. 25, after the race.
The circuit’s event page lists the whole weekend as Oct. 22–25, 2026. Single-day tickets on the COTA site are sold around Friday through Sunday. Concert upgrades are listed at the Germania Insurance Super Stage, and the ticket page says a Formula 1 MSC Cruises United States Grand Prix ticket is required before an upgrade can be added. The single-day listing showed a starting price of $109.13 when this note was written. The price on the ticket page is the one that counts.
What is on track those days
Formula 1’s Austin page lists practice on Friday, a third practice and qualifying on Saturday, and the race on Sunday. This note does not give a clock time. The session widget on that page can show either the reader’s local time or track time, and those two displays are not the same number.
The circuit page puts the track at 5.513 kilometers, 56 laps, and 308.432 kilometers of racing. It credits the design to Hermann Tilke with HKS, says Mario Andretti opened the track on Oct. 21, 2012, and says the 2012 race was the first United States Grand Prix since Indianapolis in 2007 and Lewis Hamilton’s last win for McLaren. The fastest lap listed there is 1:36.169, Charles Leclerc, 2019.
A longer planning note, including the official race title, is the Oct. 22–25 guide.
