APEX puts ANOTR, Jamie Jones and Mahmut Orhan into F1 weekend

Baku’s Formula 1 weekend will carry a parallel three-night electronic programme at FOMO Baku, with ANOTR, Jamie Jones and Mahmut Orhan headlining consecutive open-air dates from 24 to 26 September. The APEX After Dark series is presented with Baku City Circuit and iTicket Production at Flag Square.

Three nights rather than one race-weekend afterparty

ANOTR open the sequence on Thursday 24 September, followed by Jamie Jones on Friday and Mahmut Orhan on Saturday. Splitting the programme across three nights gives each booking its own crowd and musical direction rather than compressing the weekend into one oversized bill.

House music meets a city built around race weekend

Large sporting weekends increasingly create their own nightlife ecosystems, but the lineup here is firmly rooted in club music. ANOTR bring their disco, funk and house-informed sound; Jamie Jones arrives with the long-running Paradise language behind him; Mahmut Orhan closes the sequence with a more melodic crossover approach.

FOMO lists the ANOTR programme from 17:00 to 01:00 in its event copy, while the site’s date metadata differs slightly on the end time. The important fixed information is the 24 September date and the open-air location; attendees should use the promoter’s ticketing information for final access and timing updates.

A useful snapshot of Baku’s expanding club circuit

The bookings also show how Baku is positioning electronic programming around major international traffic without defaulting entirely to pop concerts. Three separate house-led nights offer a clearer club identity than a generic entertainment package attached to the race.
