Fedde Le Grand headliner for the Total 24 Hours of Spa concert in the Lotto Village
During the upcoming Total 24 Hours of Spa, the Lotto Village will be alive with activities and entertainment, especially on Saturday evening when Fedde Le Grand will entertain the crowd with a unique DJ Set. The concert line-up for this year's event is now complete, with other internationally famous DJ’s taking to the stage as well. New this year is a concert on Thursday evening and Sunday afternoon.

The Village has traditionally been the centre of entertainment during the Total 24 Hours of Spa, and 2016 will be no different, especially since Lotto has extended its partnership. One of the highlights will undoubtedly be the DJ Set from Fedde Le Grand. The Dutch DJ and producer is a frequent guest at festivals like Tomorrowland and the Ultra Music Festival and will take to the stage at midnight.

However, the concert will get underway at 21.00, when young Belgian Henri PFR will get the party started. He will be followed by the Polish revelation of 2015, Tom Swoon, before Swiss superstar and DJ Performer (he sings and plays the drums as well!) Mosimann will get the mercury rising even higher. After Fedde Le Grand blows the roof off the stage, Henri PFR will continue the afterparty until at least 2 am.

But the Lotto Village is much more than just the Saturday evening concert. After their success last year, the amazing riders from the Circus Trial Tour are back this year. The spectacular trial show takes place in the centre of the Lotto Village, where trial wizards will show you tricks on a trial bike that you would never believe possible.

And there is more. The Pirelli Challenge gives everybody the chance to drive a miniature GT3 car on one of the most spectacular slotracing tracks around, and if you really want to put the pedal to the metal, you could always take part in the Karting 12 hours of Spa, starting on Saturday evening! More information is available on www.francorchamps-karting.be .

It is clear that the Lotto Village will be the epicentre of the off-track entertainment during the biggest race of the Blancpain GT Series and Intercontinental GT Challenge, with plenty of activities for the whole family. Simulators, drink and food stands, merchandising shops: you can find everything in the Lotto Village. For the kids there are trampolines, bouncy castles, and a make-up stand. The parents don't have to miss a single moment of the race, because there are plenty of giant screens on site. And do not forget the impressive fireworks display on Saturday evening!

New this year is that there are concerts on Thursday and Sunday as well. On Thursday evening there will be a DJ set in the endurance paddock (at the central tower), while at 2 pm on Sunday afternoon well-known Belgian cover band Mr. Cover provides you with the best way to finish off what can only be a fantastic weekend.

And just in case you were wondering about the price of all this, everything – yes, the amazing concerts as well – is included in the General Entrance ticket.
