The engines have barely started revving for 2025, but the Singapore Grand Prix Formula 1 is already shifting into high gear with its entertainment lineup. Every year, the F1 weekend isn’t just about the action on the tracks – it’s also a magnet for top-tier music acts. And this year, the first wave of music acts has just been announced: South Korean superstar G-Dragon and Elton John are two big names that will be performing at the Singapore Grand Prix Formula 1 2025 this year, among the many others that have yet to be revealed.
Are introductions even necessary for these two showstoppers? One, a musical genius and trendsetter, who not only crafted many of BIGBANG’s biggest hits but also became the first Korean soloist to chart a Korean-language album in the U.S. Billboard 200 – all while redefining fashion with Chanel collaborations and his own label, Peaceminusone. The other, a legendary singer-songwriter and pianist whose timeless classics, from Rocket Man to Your Song, have earned him over 50 Top 40 hits, multiple Grammys and Oscars, and more than 300 million records sold.
G-Dragon will kick off the races with his performance on Friday, October 3, at the Padang Stage in Zone 4. And who better to bring it all home than Elton John? The pop icon will take the same stage on Sunday to close off the Formula 1 race weekend.
This year’s seating brings a fresh change too – an all-new Marina Bay Grandstand has been added to the Circuit Park, offering race fans a unique vantage point with top-notch views of the Pit Entry, Pit Straight, and the final corners of the street circuit. With three-day tickets priced at $1,498, you’ll also have access to all performance stages across the Circuit Park.
Tickets are now up for purchase here. Single-day walkabout tickets are available, starting from $148 for a Friday Zone 4 Walkabout ticket. For those looking for more, the Zone 1 Walkabout Combination is priced at $1,108. This package includes access to F1 Practice and Qualifying sessions from the Pit Grandstand on Friday and Saturday, plus a Premier Walkabout ticket for race day, giving fans views from multiple platforms across the track.
Meanwhile, more music acts are brewing, so stay tuned for updates!
