Joel Corry and Rudimental Set to Perform at Dubai SailGP on November 21-22.
Dubai: Global dance music stars Joel Corry and Rudimental will headline the Emirates Dubai Sail Grand Prix presented by DP World, bringing a festival atmosphere to one of the biggest weekends of the Rolex SailGP Championship season.
The two chart-topping acts will lead SailGP’s Après-Sail entertainment programme at Mina Rashid, as 13 international teams compete on November 21-22 in the penultimate event of the 2026 season.
With the championship-deciding Grand Final taking place in Abu Dhabi just a week later, Dubai offers teams their final opportunity to secure a place in the three-team, winner-takes-all showdown.
Corry, one of contemporary dance music’s biggest names, has six platinum UK records to his credit across a decade-long career. He will headline Saturday’s Après-Sail programme with a set featuring his signature party anthems.
Rudimental, meanwhile, are among the defining acts in modern dance music, having sold more than 25 million singles and three million albums worldwide. Known for their blend of drum and bass, soul and electronic music, the group will perform some of their biggest hits on SailGP’s waterfront stage on Sunday.
The performances will add to the excitement of a crucial weekend in the Rolex SailGP Championship, as the battle for the final place in the three-team Grand Final reaches its climax.
Australia’s Bonds Flying Roos and Spain’s Los Gallos have already secured their places, leaving one spot still available.
The remaining contenders will face their final test in Dubai before the season concludes with the Mubadala Abu Dhabi Sail Grand Prix 2026 Season Grand Final, presented by Abu Dhabi Sports Council, on November 28-29.
Leah Davis, SailGP’s Chief Marketing Officer, said: “Dubai has become one of the standout events in the SailGP calendar, and in Joel Corry and Rudimental we have two acts who are fitting for such an unmissable weekend of entertainment.
“Last year’s event was one of the highlights of our season. With this year’s mix of world-class racing and top music acts, it is set to be an incredible weekend.”
Throughout the weekend, fans can expect live DJs, roaming performers, interactive activations and high-speed racing from the league’s cutting-edge F50 catamarans, which race just metres from the shore. The official SailGP Simulator will also give fans the chance to test their skills against the world’s best.
