Anyone with even a passing passion for Formula 1 likely has their calendar marked for the return of the F1 Singapore Grand Prix, where the world’s best drivers and some of the biggest names in entertainment will converge from October 3 to 5, 2025.
More than a race, this event has become one of Singapore’s defining spectacles, blending high-octane motorsport with culture and unforgettable nightlife. With stars such as Elton John, G-Dragon, CL, Foo Fighters, and Alan Walker taking the stage, the Grand Prix promises as much energy off the track as on it.
At the heart of the action lies the Marina Bay Street Circuit, an iconic track known for its tight corners, dramatic turns, and humid night conditions that test even the most seasoned drivers. The 2025 season brings added anticipation, with McLaren drivers Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris currently leading the championship rankings ahead of Max Verstappen from Red Bull Racing. Each victory earns 25 points, meaning the Singapore race could very well tip the scales of the championship battle. For fans, ticket prices start at S$148, though most categories have already sold out. Limited availability remains for select days, with Saturday tickets priced at S$248 and bundled Friday–Saturday passes at S$328.

Yet the Singapore Grand Prix extends far beyond the circuit. The city transforms into a festival of speed and sound, with events and experiences that amplify the atmosphere. The Groovedriver Festival returns with stacked stages at Suntec Plaza and South Beach Tower, spotlighting rising regional acts and global names such as Henry Moodie, Shaun, and an all-female DJ line-up featuring Licaxxx, Molly Lin, and Sarah Farina.
Those seeking a different rhythm can look to Sekai no Owari. This Japanese pop sensation brings their Phoenix Asia Tour to Singapore for one night only on October 4, performing hits like “SOS” from Attack on Titan and “The Peak” from One Piece. Tickets start at S$168.
Art lovers will find their lane at Gillman Barracks, where Mizuma Gallery hosts Art Bit Matrix – Tokusatsu to Videogame. Featuring a dozen Japanese creators, the exhibition delves into the interplay of character design and special effects to offer a contemporary counterpoint to the adrenaline of the track.

No Grand Prix season in Singapore would be complete without a visual spectacle, and Marina Bay Sands delivers with its nightly light-up from September 29 to October 5 at 7:00 to 11:59 pm. The skyline glows in vivid red while the Scuderia Ferrari HP Show Car, displayed at Marina Bay Sands Hotel Tower 1, invites fans to get up close with one of the sport’s icons.
Lastly, those who prefer indulgence through dining can enjoy the Resorts World Sentosa’s “Thrills of the Track” running from September 26 to October 5. Signature dishes such as the Pole Position Arroz Chaufa and the Circuit de Chocolat give race week a gourmet spin.
