SINGAPORE – Scottish singer-songwriter Lewis Capaldi, British electronic pop group Clean Bandit and Spice Girls member Melanie C are among the final slate of music acts added to the Formula One (F1) Singapore Airlines Singapore Grand Prix (Singapore GP) 2025.
Capaldi, best known for the 2019 hit Someone You Loved, will perform at the Padang Stage in Zone 4 on Oct 5. He played his only show in Singapore at Capitol Theatre in 2020.
The 28-year-old was scheduled to return to Singapore to perform at The Star Theatre in 2023, but cancelled that gig, as well as the rest of his world tour, due to health reasons.
He recently staged a comeback and performed a surprise set at British music festival Glastonbury 2025 on June 27. The gig came two years after he ended his Glastonbury set prematurely after suffering from a mental breakdown and struggling with tics brought on by Tourette syndrome.
Clean Bandit, the trio behind hits such as Rockabye and Symphony (both 2015), will perform at Wharf Stage, Zone 1, on Oct 3. Their previous gigs in Singapore include a set at music festival Neon Lights in 2019 and a concert at The Star Theatre in 2018.
British singer Melanie C is among the acts doing deejay sets at Sunset Stage, Zone 1, and will perform on Oct 5. Other artistes there include electronic music veteran Pete Tong on Oct 4.
Performers at the Padang for Singapore GP 2025 include K-pop stars G-Dragon and CL on the first night, Oct 3; American rock band Foo Fighters and Norwegian DJ-producer Alan Walker on Oct 4; and British music icon Elton John, who is the race weekend’s closing act on Oct 5.
Acts performing at the Wharf Stage include Australian-New Zealand rock band Crowded House on Oct 4 and American rock band The Smashing Pumpkins and English indie rock band The Wombats on Oct 5.
Race organiser Singapore GP also announced more music acts on July 18, including British singer-songwriter Maisie Peters at Downtown Stage, Zone 4, on Oct 3; New Zealand indie electronic band The Naked And Famous at Wharf Stage on Oct 4; and American Idol contestant Haley Reinhart at Sail Stage, Zone 1, from Oct 3 to 5.
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.
