Formula 1 has added a music festival to their sport activity. The first F1 Rocks event will take place next month on the sidelines of the Singapore grand prix.
Singer Beyonce will headline this first music event. In addition to the 27-year-old singer, F1 Rocks will also feature the Black Eyed Peas, Simple Minds, ZZ Top, N*E*R*D and Chinese pop star Jacky Cheung.
F1’s Bernie Ecclestone announced the news in London yesterday. He said, "It’s exciting. It’s something we’ve been talking about doing for an awful long time… Now we’ve got the right partners to do this and we’re very, very confident."
The first F1 Rocks will be aired in 188 countries.
