Who is performing at F1 75 Live at the O2?

Included in the list of artists performing at F1 75, is British group Take That, country music singer Kane Brown, composer of the F1 theme Brian Tyler and American rapper Machine Gun Kelly.

However, this will not be Kelly’s first F1 appearance after his visit to the 2023 Brazilian Grand Prix, where he was involved in an awkward exchange with Sky Sports pundit Martin Brundle.

When the 34-year-old was interviewed by Brundle during his legendary gridwalk segment, Kelly refused to answer any questions about his career and gave the iconic broadcaster a thumbs down, with fans taking to social media to state how awkward the interview was.

However, that was not the end of the exchange, with Sky’s Ted Kravitz revealing that Kelly left the circuit with 25 laps remaining of the race.
