It’s lights out, and away we go for the start of the Formula 1 hype in 2025! The first race of the season in Melbourne is less than a month away, but for the Formula 1 Singapore Airlines Singapore Grand Prix 2025, the track isn’t the only place where things are going to get hot!
Whether you’re here for the adrenaline-pumping race action or the once-in-a-lifetime performances, one thing’s for sure, this year’s Singapore Grand Prix is a can’t-miss! Previous years have seen some serious musical star power in the form of OneRepublic, Kylie Minogue, and of course, Post Malone. However, this year’s F1 entertainment lineup is nothing short of mind-blowing, featuring two icons from opposite ends of the music universe!
The King of K-Pop’s Triumphant Return!
The man, the myth, the legend – G-DRAGON – is back! After a seven-year hiatus from Singapore, the BIGBANG frontman, global K-Pop darling, and second-generation superstar is finally returning to the stage, and he’s starting off this year’s F1 entertainment lineup in explosive fashion! With his genre-defying beats, resonant lyrics, and effortless charisma, the excitement around G-Dragon is sure to reach a fever pitch by the time the Singapore Grand Prix rolls around!
Additionally, the timing couldn’t be better! With his highly anticipated third studio album, ‘Übermensch’, dropping on February 25 2025, this will be one of his first major solo performances in years. Fans can expect a setlist packed with classics, from “Crooked” to “One of a Kind”, alongside new releases like “POWER” and “HOME SWEET HOME.” Add in his unmatched stage presence, unbeatable fashion game, and a crowd ready to lose its collective mind, and you’ve got a Friday night that’s about to go down in history.
Elton John’s Still Standing!
Two years after bidding farewell to touring, Elton John is returning to the big stage internationally! And what better stage than the Singapore Grand Prix, an event where the lifestyle offerings are as attractive as the racing?
With a fabled five-decade career, over 300 million records sold, a knighthood, and an EGOT (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, Tony) to his name – Elton John has ascended to another level of mythical status in the entertainment world. Whether you’ve been a fan since the ‘70s or discovered him through his collabs with Dua Lipa and Ed Sheeran, his catalogue of hits is unmatched.
Expect a setlist of truly iconic music, from “Tiny Dancer” to “Your Song” to “I’m Still Standing”, all delivered with the kind of showmanship, theatrical flair, and piano-pounding energy that only Elton can bring. Closing the Singapore Grand Prix weekend with an Elton John concert? That’s a historical moment in the making.
Fast Cars and Big Stars
With Lewis Hamilton making history in Ferrari red, a record number of rookies taking on the Marina Bay Street Circuit for the first time, and the final season of the current V6 hybrid turbo power units, the track action is already guaranteed to be electric. But add G-DRAGON’s high-energy comeback and Elton John’s legendary return, and you’ve got a weekend that means more than just racing – it’s set to be one of the biggest nights in music in 2025.
Whether you’re here for the speed, the music, or just the sheer madness of it all, one thing is certain this Singapore Grand Prix will be one to remember! Mark your calendars: G-DRAGON kicks off the F1 entertainment lineup on Friday, October 3rd. Then, after a weekend of high-speed drama, Elton John closes it all out on Sunday, October 5th, ensuring this Grand Prix ends on a high note – literally!
