Alicia Keys, along with Pharrell Williams and Martin Garri, will perform at the Formula 1 STC Saudi Arabian Grand Prix race.
They are the headliners for the event at the Jeddah Corniche Circuit Main Stage on Saturday March 9, immediately after the fourth successive F1 race in the Kingdom has concluded. More acts will be announced closer to the event.
