Think race weekend, but with a cheeky festival twist – equal parts throttle and thump. Yas Marina Circuit has added The House, a brand-new, adults-only social hub in the South Oasis that’s designed to serve sunset views, DJ sets, and some very well-timed racing drama on the side. It’s basically the place you go when you want to watch cars scream by and pretend you’re at the coolest rooftop party on the marina.
What is The House?
The House is a four-day experience running across race weekend, set inside the South Oasis with direct sightlines over the marina, the iconic W Abu Dhabi, and several of the circuit’s best overtaking corners – perfect for fans who like their viewing angles dramatic and their soundtrack live. Expect live DJs, all-day soundscapes, and a golden-hour atmosphere that moves perfectly from late-afternoon chill to evening energy.
The ticket – what you actually get
Tickets for The House start at AED 2,995 and include four-day access to Yas Marina Circuit (Thursday-Sunday). The package bundles general admission to the Emirates NBD After-Race Concerts, a one-day pass to a major Yas Island attraction (think Ferrari World or SeaWorld), plus access to cultural sites in the capital like Louvre Abu Dhabi and Qasr Al Watan – basically, the organisers are throwing in a mini-Abu Dhabi sampler with your racing.
The soundtrack: who’s playing after the chequered flag
If you like your race weekends with a headline act, you’re covered. The Emirates NBD After-Race Concerts line-up includes Benson Boone, Post Malone & Elyanna, Metallica and Katy Perry across the weekend – so one minute you’re cheering an overtake, the next you’re singing along under the lights.
Little luxuries (and one generous surprise)
Here’s a fun one: The House runs a daily “On The House Hour” – a short, surprise window where house beverages are complimentary. Times are shared each day to keep the moment spontaneous, which is basically code for: arrive with an open mind and a camera-ready grin. The whole experience is designed for guests aged 21+ – so yes, strictly grown-ups only.
Why The House changes the Grand Prix game
You could watch the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix from any grandstand – or you could make the weekend feel like a festival: race action during the day, big concerts at night, and a social hub to rally at between sessions. The House blends all three, so instead of rushing from one place to another you get a single lively basecamp with great sightlines and a nonstop soundtrack. It’s a smarter, sunnier way to do F1 weekend shenanigans.
Practical bits

Final word — who should seriously consider it?
If you love cars and cocktails, if you want excellent sunset photos with the W in the background, if you want to pair a day of wheel-to-wheel drama with a night of arena-scale pop or rock – this is built for you. The House is less “sit quietly and clutch your binoculars” and more “dance, cheer, sip, repeat.” It’s the Abu Dhabi GP for people who enjoy both apexes and after-parties.
Whether you’re team “I live trackside now” or team “I’ll gate-crash the golden hour,” The House looks set to become one of the weekend’s best social spots – and yes, it pairs stunning race views with an annoyingly good playlist. If nothing else, it gives you another excuse to pack sunnies, trainers, and a voice-ready set of concert singalongs.
