Get your adrenaline pumping with speeding cars, live performances by award-winning artistes and tons of excitement at one of the most anticipated car events in the world.

Just head to Singapore in a few months’ time to experience the thrill.

The Formula 1 Singapore Airlines Singapore Grand Prix 2026 is set to take place at the Marina Bay Street Circuit on Oct 9-11.

Even if you’re no motorsport enthusiast, you can still have plenty of fun at the concert that’s held alongside the racing.

This year, US band The Killers will be headlining the show. The band is scheduled to rock the Padang Stage in Zone 4, following the F1 Qualifying session on Oct 10.

Meanwhile, Grammy-winning Lana Del Rey will be making her Singapore concert debut at the same venue on the next day, Oct 11.

They were the final two big names announced recently, joining over 100 acts who are set to perform across 10 stages throughout the three days. 

Other performers include Janet Jackson, Zara Larsson, Goo Goo Dolls, DJ Snake, Major Lazer Soundsystem, Cortis and Singapore’s own JJ Lin. The line-up offers everything from pop and rock to EDM and K-pop.

Major car races have long been a powerful engine for sports tourism, driving local and regional growth. Singapore Grand Prix, for example, draws in visitors from all over the world not just with sports cars but also concerts and carnival rides. 

Fun fact: Singapore pioneered the concept of trackside concerts at Formula 1 races. The first concert was held during Singapore Grand Prix’s debut in 2008.
