Lando Norris, Max Verstappen, and Lewis Hamilton aren’t the only headliners this Formula 1 season—Singapore is turning up the volume with over 100 hours of entertainment at Circuit Park, from superstar concerts and roving street performers to fan zones, themed pop-ups, and enough food and drink to power the entire grid. The 2026 Singapore Airlines Singapore Grand Prix takes over the Marina Bay Street Circuit from October 9 to 11, and it promises to be the city’s biggest street party yet.
When and Where: The Big Picture
The action unfolds on the 5km Marina Bay Street Circuit, a challenging, skyscraper-framed track that snakes through the city’s heart. Tight corners, concrete walls, and glittering bay views create pure urban racing theatre under the stars. Off-track entertainment stretches from City Hall to Marina Bay, with the full Circuit Park map available on the official Singapore GP website.
Race Schedule: A Sprint in the Spotlight
For the first time, Singapore hosts an F1 Sprint weekend. Friday brings First Practice at 4:30pm and Sprint Qualifying at 8:30pm. Saturday features the Sprint at 5pm, followed by Grand Prix Qualifying at 9pm. Sunday’s Drivers’ Parade begins at 6pm, with the main race starting at 8pm.
Support Races: Porsche Carrera Cup Asia
The Porsche Carrera Cup Asia returns for rounds 12 and 13, with practice on Friday at 2:05pm and qualifying Saturday at 3pm. Race 1 takes place Saturday at 7:45pm, with Race 2 on Sunday at 3:40pm. Drivers compete across Pro, Pro-Am, and Masters classes.
Star-Studded Entertainment
Three stages deliver a festival-worthy lineup. Friday features K-pop group Cortis and Mandopop superstar JJ Lin, with Split Enz at the Wharf Stage and DJ sets from DJ Snake, Major Lazer Soundsystem, and TOKiMONSTA. Saturday brings Zara Larsson, the Goo Goo Dolls, and headliners The Killers, plus sets from Rev Run, Flight Facilities, and HYO. Sunday showcases James Arthur and Janet Jackson at 6:15pm, with Lana Del Rey closing the Padang Stage at 10:25pm. Mark Ronson and ZHU round out the weekend.
More Than a Race
The Fanzone offers sim racing stations, pit stop challenges, selfie booths, and driver meet-and-greets. Food options span chilli crab bites, satay, burgers, pizza, and vegan eats. Fireworks light up the Marina Bay skyline after the chequered flag, with prime views from the Helix Bridge and Marina Bay Sands area.
Getting Around and Tuning In
Road closures begin October 7, with partial reopenings during peak hours and full reopening by 5:30am October 13. MRT services extend until 12:30-12:45am on race nights. Tickets remain available online, covering both races and concerts—though access to headline acts is first-come, first-served. Can’t make it trackside?
