F1 Tracks: Discovery is returning to Silverstone for the 2026 British Grand Prix, handpicking four of the UK’s most exciting rising stars to open the M&S Mainstage from Thursday 2 - Sunday 5 July.
This year’s breakthrough artists Charlie Jeer, TKandz, fliss and Felix Green will set the tempo for the weekend, supporting massive global headliners David Guetta, Richard Ashcroft, Chase & Status, and James Arthur.
The 2026 artists take the baton from 2025’s all-female lineup (Dirty Blonde, Sasha Keable, Nonô, and Mia Kirkland), stepping up to perform at Silverstone’s 55,000-capacity music arena. Production for the M&S Mainstage will be managed by Library Productions – the team behind Glastonbury Festival’s iconic Pyramid Stage.
First launched three years ago at the 2023 British Grand Prix, F1 Tracks: Discovery is Formula 1’s original music initiative. The program is dedicated to championing the next generation of talent by driving their music directly to global F1 fans.
The new acts join an impressive roster of alumni from 2023–2025, including Dirty Blonde, Sasha Keable, Nonô, Mia Kirkland, ALTÉGO, Florrie, Jordss, Michael Aldag, SKYLAR, AntsLive, and Only The Poets – many of whom launched their F1 Discovery journeys with support from previous mainstage headliners such as Tom Grennan, Cat Burns, and Rudimental.
For the third year in a row, DJ, presenter and advocate of emerging new music talent Abbie McCarthy will be introducing each artist to the crowd before each of their M&S Mainstage performances – further amplifying and integrating key figures pioneering the way for the next generation of music stars.
F1 Tracks: Discovery Artists:
- Charlie Jeer – The 22-year-old viral sensation from Kent has spent just over a year captivating the masses with his other-worldly sound and magnetic creative vision. What began as an introduction to a fresh new voice in electronic music has since become a full-blown moment of momentum. With over 100 million streams, his latest sultry sizzler ‘My Madonna’ poses as the first track from his highly anticipated EP -dropping in summer. Performing Thursday 2 July – 17:30 – 18:00.
- Felix Green – Born to British and Swedish parents, Felix Green is a songwriter whose gritty, soulful voice and deeply introspective lyrics connect on a raw emotional level. His naturally raspy vocals bring authentic depth to his storytelling, exploring the beauty and fracture of human relationships. Having released his debut single in late 2025, he is now poised to make a powerful impact with a sound that blends classic soul influences with contemporary artists such as Hozier, Sam Fender and Chris Stapleton. Performing Friday 3 July 17:30 – 18:00.
- TKandz – Teenage artist TKandz burst onto the scene last year with the international smash-hit ‘NOW OR NEVER’, immediately establishing himself as one of the UK’s most promising new stars. The 18-year-old rhymer has also made an impact with his recently released EP, Prodigy. Home to ‘NOW OR NEVER’ and new single ‘WORK OF ART’, Prodigy is a showcase for the Nigerian-British artist’s inspirational anthems and endlessly quotable bars. Performing Saturday 4 July 17:30 – 18:00.
- fliss – The Birmingham native is what happens when vintage soul crashes headlong into Gen Z honesty. Her debut single, the subversively romantic ‘coming around’ has racked up four million streams and built her a fast-growing fanbase, including Elton John who recently spotlighted her on his Rocket Hour radio show. Inspired by Etta James, Ray Charles, and 70s icons like Fleetwood Mac, Neil Young, and Carole King, fliss blends retro warmth, textured instrumentation with undeniable pop hooks.
