Since making its debut as Formula 1’s first-ever night race in 2008, the Singapore Grand Prix has become as synonymous with world-class entertainment as it is with wheel-to-wheel racing beneath the lights of Marina Bay.
There are faster Formula 1 circuits around the world. There are longer straights, more dramatic elevation changes and corners that have become part of motorsport folklore. But there is only one that transforms an entire city into a three-day festival.
Where else can you watch the world’s fastest drivers battle around a street circuit before ending the evening singing along to some of music’s biggest names?
That unique formula returns once again in 2026, and it might just be the biggest edition yet.
Singapore GP has unveiled the final headline acts for the Formula 1 Singapore Airlines Singapore Grand Prix 2026, completing a star-studded entertainment line-up led by acclaimed American rock band The Killers and Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter Lana Del Rey.
Their addition caps off one of the most ambitious entertainment programmes in the event’s history, featuring over 30 artistes performing across 10 stages throughout the Marina Bay Street Circuit.
The Killers Return To Singapore After Eight Years
For Formula 1 fans who attended the Singapore Grand Prix in 2018, The Killers require little introduction.
The multi-award-winning American rock band last performed at the Padang Stage eight years ago, drawing an audience of over 60,000 fans with an electrifying setlist featuring some of the biggest rock anthems of the past two decades. This year marks their highly anticipated return to Marina Bay, where they will perform after Saturday’s Formula 1 Qualifying session on 10 October.
With iconic hits including Mr. Brightside, Somebody Told Me, When You Were Young and Human, few bands can claim to command a live audience quite like The Killers.
After all, there are worse ways to celebrate securing pole position than listening to Brandon Flowers ask an entire crowd whether they are human, or are they dancer?
Lana Del Rey Makes Her Singapore Debut
If Saturday promises anthemic rock performances, Sunday offers something altogether different.
Making her first-ever Singapore concert appearance, Lana Del Rey will headline the Padang Stage following the Formula 1 race on Sunday, 11 October. Widely regarded as one of the most influential singer-songwriters of her generation, Del Rey has captivated audiences worldwide with her distinctive cinematic sound and poetic lyricism.
Her catalogue spans critically acclaimed albums such as Born To Die, Ultraviolence and Did You Know That There’s a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd, earning multiple Grammy nominations alongside prestigious accolades including BRIT Awards and Billboard Women in Music honours throughout her career.
Something For Everyone
Of course, The Killers and Lana Del Rey are merely the final pieces of an already impressive puzzle.
Previously announced headline acts include Singapore’s own JJ Lin, alongside Janet Jackson, James Arthur, Zara Larsson, Mark Ronson, DJ Snake, Major Lazer Soundsystem, Goo Goo Dolls, Split Enz, Rev Run and many more. Across the Circuit Park, fans will also be able to catch performances from artists including ZHU, TOKiMONSTA, Flight Facilities, PREP, Ocean Alley, Ezra Collective and Lola Amour across multiple stages throughout the weekend.
Whether you’re attending for Formula 1, live music or simply the atmosphere itself, there is now very little chance of finding yourself without something to do between race sessions.
Tickets Selling Fast
Singapore GP has also confirmed that ticket sales for the 2026 event have been exceptionally strong, with several ticket categories already sold out. Fans are encouraged to secure their tickets early to avoid disappointment.
All tickets provide access to performances within Zone 4, including the Padang Stage, while Zone 1 ticket holders will also gain access to performances at both the Wharf and Barge stages. As always, patrons will require a valid ticket for the relevant day of an artiste’s scheduled performance.
