The F1 race runs the first weekend in October

The Singapore Grand Prix has announced an unmissable entertainment line-up for this year’s Formula 1 weekend at the Marina Bay Street Circuit. Elton John, Foo Fighters, The Smashing Pumpkins, and Crowded House are among the rock headliners of the three day event, set for October 3-5, at the Marina Bay Grandstand.

All tickets provide access to the performances in the circuit’s Zone 4, which includes the main Padang Stage, while a Zone 1 ticket is required to access performances at the Wharf Stage. Tickets are available now on F1 Tickets.

Two years after the finale of his record breaking Farewell Yellow Brick Road Tour, Elton John is set to make a highly anticipated return to the stage for a night to remember. The pop icon will rock the Padang Stage in Zone 4 after the Grand Prix on Sunday to close out the race weekend.

Alternative rockers The Smashing Pumpkins will be returning to Singapore, 15 years since their last appearance there, on Sunday. They gained fame with albums like Siamese Dream and Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness, featuring hits like “1979,” “Tonight Tonight,” and “Bullet with Butterfly Wings.”

The Foo Fighters will play their first live show since August 2024 on Saturday. The 15-time Grammy winning band is ready to set the stage for a highly-charged evening after F1 Qualifying.

Fresh from his Walkerworld tour in North America and Europe, DJ and record producer Alan Walker will be making a pit stop to Singapore on Saturday. Known for his signature blend of electronic music and melodic soundscapes, the Norwegian rose to fame with his 2015 breakout hit Faded, which earned multi-platinum awards and garnered billions of streams.

Iconic Australian and New Zealand rock band Crowded House will perform Saturday on Zone 1 Wharf Stage. Formed in 1985, their enduring sound and captivating live performances allow them to continue to be a defining force in rock music.

After a seven-year hiatus, South Korea’s global superstar G-Dragon will be making his much-awaited comeback to Singapore. He will help kick off the race weekend on Friday at the Padang Stage in Zone 4. The fashion icon and trailblazer has been a dominant force in the music scene since his debut with BigBang in 2006, and was the first Korean soloist with a Korean-language album to enter the U.S. Billboard 200 with his first EP One of a Kind.

K-pop fans can look forward to a spectacular Friday, with CL slated to perform on the same night as G-Dragon. The singer and songwriter rose to fame as the leader of K-pop girl group 2NE1 in2009 and later launched a solo career with hits like The Baddest Female, Hello Bitches and Lover Like Me. Since then, the style icon has been listed as one of Forbes 30 Under 30 Asia in 2019.

More artists have been announced to perform across the Singapore Grand Prix weekend, including The Wombats, Hanna, Tom Grennan, The Lathums, Babymetal, Le Twins, Indo Warehouse, Oakë, and Putri Ariani, adding a real festival feel to the event.
