Madrid to host winter ‘Warm Up Party’ ahead of 2026 Spanish Grand Prix

The new Madring circuit in Madrid is set to host the 2026 Spanish Grand Prix – a season that will see new cars, new teams, and new rules – and fans can celebrate the event before this year is even over with a festive fiesta at Las Ventas.

Taking place on December 12 at the iconic venue in the nation’s capital, the Spanish Grand Prix’s Warm Up Party offers fans a different approach to the usual Christmas party, with the Spanish DJ duo Mëstiza merging flamenco folklore and electronic music.

With next year’s Spanish Grand Prix (11-13 September) already almost nine months away, this first warm-up is positioning itself as one of the most attractive alternatives to traditional Christmas gatherings.

The Madring is being built on a mix of city street corners and purpose-built straights, with space in the complex for fan zones and entertainment that will make it one of the most fan-friendly Grands Prix.

Hospitality areas aim to be the most extensive on the European calendar, and so December’s Warm Up Party will be a festive experience true to the Madring spirit where emotion, music, and Formula 1 will be felt far beyond the circuit.

The party will kick off with DJ Argia from 8pm, before Claudia León takes over from 9.30pm with an explosive set. At 11pm Mëstiza take to the stage in what will be an authentic electronic music party with Spanish flair – where spectacle and F1 will fuse perfectly.

The Warm Up Party at Las Ventas is set to be an unmissable event this Christmas for those who want to experience, in advance, the spirit of the Spanish Grand Prix in Madrid.
