The complete entertainment programme for the Formula 1 Singapore Airlines Singapore Grand Prix 2023 has been unveiled. The Singapore Grand Prix returns 15 to 17 September 2023.

Over 80 hours of entertainment throughout the Circuit Park will feature 139 artistes across 13 performance and DJ stages. The Zone 4 Padang Stage will also feature the most acts ever.

Kings of Leon, Culture Club, Groove Armada, Madness and a mix of local and international acts will join the previously announced 88rising line-up, Post Malone, and Robbie Williams.

88rising Line UP

88rising previously announced acts Jackson Wang, NIKI, Rich Brian and Warren Hue. They will be joined by another four artistes completing the Asian-American record label’s lineup on 15 September 2023 at the Zone 4 Padang Stage.

The septet Japanese multilingual girl group XG took TikTok by storm in 2022 with their multilingual rap cypher, Galz Xypher. Sing-songwriter and rapper BIBI has been featured in numerous collaborations since her 2019 debut. Her first single with 88rising, The Weekend, reached #29 on US radio charts. Rapper-singer MILLI made waves in the Thai hip-hop scene with her 2020 debut single Phak Kon. The 20 year old was the first Thai solo artiste to perform at Coachella setting sales of mango sticky rice skyrocketing when she performed a song named after the dessert. Japanese girl group Atarashii Gakko! will impress fans with their eccentric self-choreographerd gymanastic dance moves to their hit songs OTONABLUE, WOO! GO!, and NAINAINAI.

More tickets available

Limited tickets priced from S$888 are now available for two new grandstands – Bayfront at Turn 17 and Raffles at Turn 5. All tickets to the Formula 1 Singapore Airlines Singapore Grand Prix 2023 provide access to the concerts at the Padang Stage in Zone 4.

Patrons will need to have a valid ticket on the relevant day of an act’s performance. Priced from S$108 for a single-day ticket and S$398 for a three-day pass, official tickets can be purchased from www.singaporegp.sg and via authorised ticketing partners.

Singapore GP will continue to work together with stakeholders and the local authorities to identify new viewing sites to partly mitigate the overall reduction in capacity, due to the closure of the Bay Grandstand as part of the redevelopment of The Float at Marina Bay.
