Formula 1 kicked off its journey in the United States with the help of a Taylor Swift concert back in 2016. The American pop singer, known for her breathtakingly high-octane music, was key in luring her massive fanbase into the Circuit of The Americas ahead of the US Grand Prix that weekend. Eight years later, Liberty Media has yet again acquired the services of another American singer, only this time, it’s not Swift who is currently active on The Eras Tour.
Instead, it’s the Slim Shady who will be rocking the stage during this year’s US Grand Prix in Austin, Texas. Just like Swift, Eminem has been trending for a while now, thanks to his sensational update in April. The Detroit-based rapper revealed that he would be unveiling an entirely new album called The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce) sometime in the next few months, and since then, the buzz has been unreal.

And the release of ‘Houdini’ only made the buzz all the more louder, and Liberty Media has seemingly used it to its advantage. Of course, this is a much-needed boost for COTA. The US Grand Prix hasn’t been as huge in the last couple of years, thanks to the arrival of Miami and lately, Las Vegas. Furthermore, with Chicago all set to make it four American races in a season, COTA has been under an awful lot of pressure amidst the rising fear of being an outcast.
But, the Rap God could well turn the tables around for the United States’ only traditional circuit race. Therefore, with just over three months to go for the concert, here’s how much the weekend tickets cost.
