Elyanna announced as a headliner for the Abu Dhabi Formula 1 After-Race concerts
The Palestinian-Chilean singer, who mixes Arabic music with Latin rhythms, is no stranger to Abu Dhabi. Just a few months ago, she opened for Coldplay when they were in town for their Music of the Spheres World Tour at Zayed Sports City Stadium, which attracted over 200,000 fans across four sold-out shows.
She's now the first artist to have performed in Arabic at Coachella and has a hit EP (also called Elyanna) with over 100 million streams under her belt.
Elyanna will perform on Friday December 5, the same day as Post Malone, making it a huge double-headliner concert.
David Powell, chief strategy & business development officer at Ethara, said: 'We're thrilled to welcome Elyanna as part of a world-class Yasalam line-up. Elyanna is unique and gifted artist, as she showed when she performed alongside Coldplay at Zayed Sports City in January.
'Yasalam continues to showcase a diverse programme of thrilling entertainment that reflects our welcoming spirit. We put on a bigger spectacle every year and ticket holders will have an unforgettable time with us.'
If you want to see any of the Yasalam After Race concert performers, then it's time to get your race ticket – and you can level up with a Golden Circle upgrade for front-row views.

Sharjah Youth cultivates future leaders through activities
The event featured a variety of educational and practical programmes that combined arts, technical, and professional skills, aiming to hone their skills and build their capacities in an advanced educational environment. Creating informed and creative generations The event, held on Thursday, is part of a series of events organised by APC in Sharjah for its parliamentarians. This event is part of the comprehensive vision established by His Highness Sheikh Dr Sultan bin Mohammed Al Qasimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah, to support Arab children and create informed and influential generations, qualified to shape their future with knowledge, awareness, and responsibility. Youth studio Programmes included a comprehensive set of specialised workshops distributed across several tracks, the most prominent of which was the "Youth Studio" track, which included the "Animation" programme. Participants participated in a series of workshops in which they learned the importance of visual presentation and the basics of drawing. They also learned how to use the "Procreate" programme and produce professionally animated scenes, enhancing their artistic abilities and connecting them to modern digital technologies. Miniature world The "Miniature World" workshop opened the horizons of photography for child parliamentarians. They received training in photo-taking skills, controlling lighting and angles, and visual expression using the camera. This also enhanced their creativity and imagination in producing images that express their own vision of beauty and the moment. Creative writing In the Creative Writing track, parliamentarians participated in the "Short Story Writing" programme as part of the "Speaker" programme'. They learned how to express their ideas and experiences in an engaging literary style, while also training in condensation, abbreviation, and scenario formulation techniques. This provided them with the opportunity to enter the world of authorship and writing with awareness and professionalism. Artistic field In the artistic field, the workshops featured a rich variety of activities, most notably the "Pottery Shaping" workshop, which allowed participants to practice an important visual art that complements Arabic calligraphy. They learned how to shape pottery using creative methods that can be applied to paintings or sculptures, adding a new aesthetic dimension to their craftsmanship. Architectural model Children also participated in creating geometric models through the "Architectural Model" workshop, where they designed three-dimensional models of realistic buildings using wood chips. This enabled them to interact with design and construction concepts, connect imagination with urban reality, and instil their engineering thinking and spatial planning skills. Science and technology In the field of science and technology, parliamentarians undertook a unique technological experience in the "LEGO Robotics" workshop, which focused on introducing them to the design and construction of robots and how to interact with them in a practical way. This enhanced their programming skills and connected them to the world of modern technology and logical thinking. On the vocational front, the children received practical training in the "Auto Mechanics" workshop, which introduced them to home maintenance skills, from plumbing and carpentry to technical repairs. This training framework connects them to daily life skills that enhance their independence and ability to deal with simple challenges in their daily lives. APC members engaged greatly with these workshops, showing remarkable enthusiasm and a willingness to learn new things. These activities provided a fertile ground for self-discovery and expanding horizons of knowledge, reflecting the advanced approach adopted by the Rubu' Qarn Foundation and Sharjah Youth in caring for children and youth. Unique collaboration In this context, His Excellency Ayman Othman Al Barout, Secretary-General of APC, expressed his pride in this unique collaboration with the Rubu' Qarn Foundation, emphasising that these programmmes represent a strong start to their meeting in Sharjah, United Arab Emirates, as part of the second session of the Parliament's fourth term. Programmes clearly translate Sharjah's vision of empowering Arab children through learning, innovation, and creativity. Investing in children Al Barout said that organisation and quality programmes seen at Sharjah Youth reflect a leadership vision that invests in childhood and provides parliamentarians with the opportunity to acquire advanced skills that will accompany them in their future endeavours. The partnership between APC and the Rubu' Qarn Foundation is now yielding tangible programmes that build minds and stimulate energies in an inspiring, interactive environment."
