Jack Whitehall has been named among the headline acts to provide entertainment for fans attending next month’s British Grand Prix.
The comedian, also known for hosting the Brit Awards and for acting roles, joins the stand-up comedy programme for the race weekend at the Silverstone Circuit.
He will perform on Friday, 3 July, with Paul Chowdhury to headline on Saturday, 4 July – the eve of the F1 race.
The Northamptonshire circuit said the announcement was the “final layer” of its expanded off-track entertainment for 2026, with acts including David Guetta, Richard Ashcroft and James Arthur to headline its music offering.
In 2025, the race weekend attracted about 500,000 fans across four days, with up to 580,000 expected to attend this year’s event.
The comedy line-up will also feature Fin Taylor and Lou Sanders on 3 July, with Jack Skipper and Grace Campbell supporting Chowdhury.
The venue said: “Silverstone continues to establish itself as a cultural destination beyond the track, bringing together sport, music, comedy, art and entertainment across its year-round programme.
“The continued expansion of its British Grand Prix offering reflects the venue’s ambition to deliver a world-class experience both on and off the circuit.”
The race weekend begins on 2 July with DJ Guetta to open the musical entertainment. The F1 action will be held from 3-5 July.
On race day, DJ Tony Perry and the Royal Marines Drum Corps will take to the grid to build the atmosphere ahead of lights out.
