Singapore GP music festival draws 301,294 spectators in 2026

The three-day live music festival of the 2026 Singapore GP has 11 live entertainment stages, and Billboard covered the event on Oct. 9-11. The race welcomed 301,294 spectators, and the GP booked and curated a lineup of 43 acts.

Lana Del Rey performed at the Padang Stage, which had an audience of 60,000, and delivered the live debut of new music at her set. Split Enz performed at the Wharf stage in Zone 1 on opening night of the 2026 Singapore GP music program.

For the first time, organizers floated the Barge stage, which hosted sets including DJ Snake, Major Lazer Soundsystem, TOKiMONSTA, Rev Run, Flight Facilities, Mark Ronson and ZHU. Mark Ronson finished his set with Amy Winehouse's cover of 'Valerie' and Bruno Mars' 'Uptown Funk.'

In 2025, the Singapore GP lineup featured Elton John, Foo Fighters, Lewis Capaldi, The Smashing Pumpkins, Alan Walker and G-Dragon. Adam Firth is the executive director of Singapore GP, and Firth said the team wants a lineup that appeals to a teenage Singaporean girl and a middle-aged motorsport fan visiting from Europe.

Firth said the GP's music program requires government support, which he called critical to the event. WME brought as many as 12 clients to the Singapore GP this year, and Brett Murrihy joined WME in 2015 when the agency acquired Artist Voice.

The Singapore GP music festival was established in 2008 and competed directly with Austin City Limits Music Festival's 25th anniversary in Texas. As of October 29, 2026, the song Lies (feat. Lana Del Rey) by Zach Bryan & Lana Del Rey is number 4 on the Apple Music US songs chart.
