Bruno Mars, Britney Spears to perform at US GP

Eleven-time Grammy winner Mars, who has twice featured in Super Bowl half-time shows, will perform his 24K Magic World show on Saturday night in Texas, following qualifying for the 18th race of the Formula One season.

Spears, another international pop icon, will close out the weekend with a post-race concert on Sunday.

Bobby Epstein, the founder and chairman of COTA, said the performances of Mars and Spears would contribute to "an incredible weekend for race and music fans alike".
