Who is singing at the Singapore Grand Prix 2025?

Confirmed headliners for 2025

  • Sunday (5 October): Elton John headlines the Padang Stage after the Grand Prix (Formula 1 (official race promoter)).
  • Saturday (4 October): Foo Fighters take the Padang Stage as Saturday headliners.
  • Friday (3 October): G-Dragon and CL kick off the weekend on the Padang Stage.

Full artist roster

  • Alan Walker – electronic DJ and producer, performing across the weekend.
  • The Smashing Pumpkins – scheduled for the Wharf Stage (Zone 1) on Sunday.
  • Crowded House – confirmed as part of the main stage acts.

Past performers at F1 Singapore

While 2025 marks the biggest K-pop presence to date, earlier Singapore Grand Prix concerts featured acts like Red Hot Chili Peppers, Calvin Harris, and Maroon 5. The shift toward a pan-Asian lineup mirrors Singapore’s growing role as a regional music hub.

The upshot

Singapore’s Grand Prix is no longer just a race – it’s a showcase of the city’s ambition to draw both Western and Asian superstars, giving fans a genuinely cross-cultural headliner mix.


Where is the F1 concert in 2025?

Main stage at the Padang

The largest concert stage – the Padang Stage – sits in Zone 4, near the Padang cricket field. All ticket holders can access this zone without extra charges (Formula 1 (official race promoter)).

Zone 4 and other concert areas

  • The Wharf Stage in Zone 1 requires a separate Zone 1 ticket for access.
  • Zone 4 is the largest open-air area, accommodating standing crowds with views of the stage and jumbotrons.

How to access the concert venue

The Marina Bay Street Circuit is a temporary track winding through Singapore’s downtown. Multiple MRT stations (City Hall, Raffles Place, Esplanade) place you within walking distance of Zone 4 entrances. Shuttle buses operate from key hotels. Other major Singapore entertainment venues near the circuit include the Kallang Alive precinct, home to the Singapore Sports Hub.

The trade-off: With two zones offering different stages, you’ll need to choose which headliner to camp for — the Padang Stage or the Wharf Stage — unless you buy a full access Zone 1 pass.


What’s on at the Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix 2025?

Concert schedule by day

  • Friday 3 October: G-Dragon (headliner) + CL – Padang Stage (post-qualifying).
  • Saturday 4 October: Foo Fighters (headliner) – Padang Stage (post-race, likely 22:10–23:45).
  • Sunday 5 October: Elton John (headliner) – Padang Stage (post-Grand Prix); The Smashing Pumpkins – Wharf Stage.

Other entertainment and activations

Beyond the main stages, the circuit precinct includes fan zones, food festivals, and branded activations from Puma, Heineken, and Singapore Airlines. Times vary, but most run from late afternoon until midnight. For those looking for additional Singapore entertainment options, outdoor movie screenings at Sentosa offer a quieter alternative to the Grand Prix crowds.

Special guest appearances

As of May 2025, no surprise guests have been officially confirmed. However, Formula 1 has hinted at “additional acts” to be announced closer to October. Keep an eye on the official Singapore GP website for updates.

What to watch

G-Dragon’s Friday slot marks his first Singapore performance in seven years — a major draw for K-pop fans. If you can only make one day, Friday’s lineup (G-Dragon + CL) gives you the strongest K-pop double header.


Is there seating at the F1 Singapore concerts?

Seating options for concert areas

Most of the Padang Stage area is standing-room only. Grandstand ticket holders (e.g., Bay, Stamford, or Padang Grandstands) have reserved seats that face the track and also provide views of the Padang Stage. The Wharf Stage in Zone 1 offers limited seating, primarily first-come, first-served.

Standing areas

The general admission (Zone 4) and Zone 1 walking areas are standing-room only. Expect dense crowds near the stage during headliner sets.

Accessibility information

Accessible viewing platforms are available in both Zone 4 and Zone 1. Wheelchair users and those with mobility needs can request access via the Singapore GP website in advance.

Why this matters: If you’re not committed to standing for hours, consider upgrading to a grandstand ticket that includes a seat — especially for Sunday’s Elton John finale.


How to get tickets for the F1 Singapore 2025 concert?

Types of tickets

  • Grandstand tickets – include reserved seat with track view + access to Zone 4 concerts.
  • General Admission (Zone 4) – standing area, includes all Padang Stage concerts.
  • Zone 1 Premium – includes access to Wharf Stage and additional lounges.

Official ticket outlets

Tickets are sold exclusively via the Singapore GP official website and authorized resellers like Ticketmaster Singapore. Reselling on third-party platforms is at buyer risk.

Concert-only vs. race weekend passes

There is no “concert-only” ticket — all concert access is bundled with a race ticket (either grandstand or general admission). So to see Elton John, you must have a Sunday race ticket.

The catch: Exact pricing hasn’t been released as of October 2025. Based on 2024 rates, general admission weekend passes started around S$168, while grandstand tickets ranged from S$298 to S$1,200. Expect similar or slightly higher for 2025.


Timeline: Key dates for the 2025 concert

  • – First batch of lineup announced: Elton John, Alan Walker, and Brick Road tribute (Formula 1).
  • – Full lineup revealed on singaporegp.sg: G-Dragon, Foo Fighters, CL, The Smashing Pumpkins, Crowded House added (Singapore GP (official event promoter)).
  • – Friday concert – G-Dragon headlines Padang Stage.
  • – Saturday concert – Foo Fighters headline Padang Stage.
  • – Sunday concert – Elton John headlines Padang Stage; The Smashing Pumpkins at Wharf Stage.

The pattern: Each night builds toward a distinct headliner, giving fans a clear reason to attend multiple days rather than picking one.


Confirmed facts vs. what’s unclear

Confirmed facts

  • Seven acts confirmed: Elton John, Foo Fighters, G-Dragon, Alan Walker, CL, The Smashing Pumpkins, Crowded House (Formula 1).
  • Padang Stage (Zone 4) is free for all ticket holders.

Quotes from organizers

“The 2025 Singapore Grand Prix will feature an unmissable entertainment line-up for the Formula 1 weekend.”

Formula 1 official press release, 14 May 2025 (Formula 1)

“All ticket holders will have access to performances in Zone 4, including the main Padang Stage.”

Singapore GP website (Singapore GP (official event promoter))

The implication: The F1 Singapore team is betting big on live music to draw a broader audience than traditional motorsport fans. With K-pop stars and classic rock headliners on the same bill, the strategy appears to be working.
