Romanian pop sensation INNA has added another remarkable milestone to her already illustrious career by becoming the first Romanian artist to perform at the opening of the Formula 1™ Grand Prix in the Netherlands. This monumental event took place in front of tens of thousands of spectators at the Zandvoort Circuit, with millions more tuning in from around the world. Sharing the stage with the renowned Dutch DJ trio Kris Kross Amsterdam, INNA delivered a performance that resonated deeply with the audience, marking a significant moment in both her career and the history of Romanian music.
The highlight of the performance was INNA’s rendition of “Queen of My Castle,” a track that has seen immense success across Europe. The song, which climbed to the top 10 in multiple countries—including #6 in the Netherlands and #5 in France—has become an anthem in its own right. Beyond its chart success, “Queen of My Castle” was also the official anthem of the globally celebrated Neversea Festival, ranked 23rd in the world by DJ Mag. INNA, alongside Kris Kross Amsterdam, electrified the Neversea stage, further cementing the song’s status as a fan favorite.
Reflecting on her groundbreaking performance at the Formula 1™ Grand Prix, INNA expressed her gratitude and excitement: “I had another great experience for which I am extremely grateful and happy: I played at the opening ceremony of the Formula 1™ Grand Prix with Kris Kross Amsterdam. It seems to me that I am dreaming; it was a special moment that reminds me why I love being an artist.”
INNA’s international success continues to soar, particularly with her collaboration with R3hab and Sash! on the track “Rock My Body.” The song has achieved platinum status in France, an impressive feat marked by over 30 million streams. “I am thrilled and honored to have a platinum record for such a beloved song that I have sung on the great stages of the world with R3hab,” INNA shared, underscoring her growing influence on the global music scene.
This year has been nothing short of spectacular for INNA, as she has graced the stages of some of the biggest international festivals. Her performances at Tecate Pa’l Norte and Tecate Emblema in Mexico saw her share the stage with global icons like Imagine Dragons, Thirty Seconds to Mars, and Calvin Harris, among others. She also took the stage at UNTOLD Dubai, further expanding her global reach.
Looking ahead, INNA is set to perform at the Lovestream Festival in Bratislava, where she will be on the same stage as music giants like 50 Cent, Rita Ora, and Tiësto. Her upcoming tour in early 2024 will see her performing in major cities across the United States, including Los Angeles, Toronto, New York, and Miami, to name a few.
As INNA continues to break barriers and set new records, she remains a beacon of inspiration for aspiring artists from Romania and beyond. Her ability to captivate audiences worldwide with her powerful performances and chart-topping hits solidifies her place as one of the most influential artists of her generation.
