SINGAPORE – American rock bands Foo Fighters and Smashing Pumpkins, as well as Norwegian DJ-producer Alan Walker and South Korean rapper-singer CL, have been added as music acts at the Formula One (F1) Singapore Airlines Singapore Grand Prix (Singapore GP) 2025.
CL will perform on the first night, Oct 3, at the Padang Stage in Zone 4, while Foo Fighters and Walker will perform on Oct 4 on the same stage.
They join the other Padang acts announced earlier: K-pop star G-Dragon on Oct 3 and British music icon Elton John, who is the race weekend’s closing act, on Oct 5.
Acts performing at the Wharf Stage in Zone 1 include Australian and New Zealand rock band Crowded House on Oct 4 and Smashing Pumpkins and English indie rock band The Wombats on Oct 5.
The performers at the Downtown Stage in Zone 4 will be Singapore-based band Oake on Oct 3; Japanese girl group Babymetal, English indie rock band The Lathums and London-based singer-songwriter Tom Grennan on Oct 4; and South Korean DJ Hanna on Oct 5. Hanna will also perform at the Sunset Stage in Zone 1 on Oct 4.
Other acts include Indonesian pop singer-songwriter Putri Ariani and New York-based collective Indo Warehouse at the Esplanade Outdoor Theatre in Zone 4, and Mexico-based DJ duo Le Twins at a venue to be announced.
The F1 shows, which take place at several venues across the Marina Bay Street Circuit, have been some of the biggest concerts held in Singapore. The Padang Stage, in previous years, saw crowds of around 60,000.
CL, the leader of girl group 2NE1, last performed here at the Singapore Indoor Stadium with her fellow members in 2024. Grammy winners Foo Fighters, led by frontman Dave Grohl, last performed in Singapore at the National Stadium in 2017. They also did a show at the now-defunct Harbour Pavilion in 1996. Walker was last in town for a gig at the Singapore Expo in 2024.
According to Singapore GP, ticket sales have been “phenomenal”, with only a limited number remaining across selected general and hospitality categories. Prices start at $148 for a Friday Zone 4 Walkabout ticket.
All tickets grant access to the performances in Zone 4, which include those held at the Padang Stage and Downtown Stage. Shows at the Wharf Stage and Sunset Stage require Zone 1 tickets.
