The 2026 Le Mans 24h is the 94th edition of the iconic 24-hour race, the ultimate test of endurance, skill, and speed. Fans from around the world will flock to the Circuit de la Sarthe this summer to witness 24 hours of non-stop racing, where drivers and teams push themselves and their cars to the limit.
While many attend solely for the racing, there is also top-class entertainment just moments from the track. Live music, fan zones, and other activities are included with general admission tickets, giving visitors the chance to experience Le Mans both on and off the circuit. Household names such as Jean-Louis Aubert and The Libertines have already been announced for midweek concerts, with more acts expected to be announced as race week approaches.

Jean-Louis Aubert brings decades of French rock pedigree to the Circuit de la Sarthe. Known for his powerful stage presence and emotional performances, his set is expected to deliver a standout midweek moment for fans attending race week.
Rising to fame as the frontman of Téléphone before forging a successful solo career, Aubert has become one of the most respected figures in French music. With a catalogue spanning classic anthems and more recent releases, his performance at Le Mans adds a distinctly French headline act to the international atmosphere of the event.
The Libertines bring their raw, high-energy rock sound to the Circuit de la Sarthe. With a reputation for electrifying live shows, their set is expected to be a midweek highlight for both new listeners and long-time fans.
Their biggest hit, Don’t Look Back Into the Sun, is familiar to many British fans thanks to its appearances in the hit TV sitcoms Gavin & Stacey and The Inbetweeners.
