Katy Perry enthralled a packed Etihad Park as the final act at Abu Dhabi Grand Prix's After-Race Concerts on Sunday.

Taking to the stage with Artificial, Perry set the tone for a power set that featured some of her most recognisable hits, California Girls, Last Friday Night and Wide Awake.

From her signature choreography, bold staging and vibrant, expressive costumes, Perry set the stage on fire. 

She closed the night with a soaring rendition of Firework in true fashion, amplified by a full pyrotechnic display that lit up the park and brought the After-Race Concerts to a spectacular close.

The concert marked Perry's first appearance at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, doubling as her 91 of 91 show on The Lifetime's Tour. Perry previously headlined a 2017 New Year’s Eve show in Abu Dhabi at the same venue.

The performance wrapped four nights of live entertainment across the race weekend, which featured a stellar line-up of shows by Benson Boone, Elyanna, Post Malone and Metallica.
