The Music Of The Heineken Silver Las Vegas Grand Prix
Formula 1 hit Sin City last month for the The Heineken Silver Las Vegas Grand Prix.
Since this is Vegas, music was always going to play a big role in the day, and fans were spoiled rotten from the outset. First off, they had Ludacris as the warm-up, hyping up the crowd from the track with a medley of his fat stack of 2000s anthems. In a city where entertainment is engrained—from U2 in the Sphere to Penn & Teller at the Rio—this was always going to be so much more than racing.
With an event as big as the Las Vegas Grand Prix, lo-fi groovers and slow jams were never going to be able to compete with the earth-shattering roar of F1. Speaker-rattling EDM slammers from Steve Aoki and Dom Dolla, on the other hand, packed more than enough punch in the Heineken paddock.
Then, to kick things off, no less than Boyz II Men stepped up for the US National Anthem. It may have got a somewhat mixed response from the crowd, but you can’t say it wasn’t as memorable as their 1988 Super Bowl and 1996 Olympic Closing Ceremony performances.
