Formula One's pre-race entertainment show, F1 Grid Gigs presented by American Express, is returning to Monza for the FORMULA 1 PIRELLI GRAN PREMIO D’ITALIA 2026. Grammy Award-winning Italian artist Laura Pausini will take to the stage for a unique performance that blends music and motorsport.

Pausini, who has sold over 75 million records worldwide and achieved 8 billion streams during her thirty-year career, is set to perform at Monza on August 28. The singer-songwriter has been named one of the 10 best Latin pop artists by Billboard USA and has won five Latin Grammy Awards.

F1 Grid Gigs was launched in 2025 to elevate the pre-race spectacle for fans attending Grand Prix events. The show is available for those at the track and will be livestreamed across Formula One's social media platforms. Stefano Domenicali, President and CEO of Formula 1, said that Monza is a unique fixture in the history of F1, where passion and energy are felt in a special way.
