Concert goers, listen up! The F1 Singapore 2016 Grand Prix is back this September and we’re pretty sure you don’t wanna miss this one. The night race may not interest everyone, but the entertainment highlights are sure bringing in the buzz! The concerts are SO GOOD, it may even be better than the race!
Set to take place from 16th – 18th of September at the Marina Bay Street Circuit, the artist lineup for this year’s F1 Singapore 2016 is stronger than ever! If you’re not a fan of motorsports, you should still get the tickets because:
1. Kylie Minogue
Our favourite Aussie performer will spin your world around after ’em supercars take a spin across Marina Bay Street Circuit.
Date: 16 September, Friday
Time: After last track activity
Venue: Zone 4, Padang Stage
2. Pentatonix
We all love Pentatonix for many reasons. They’re always so colourful, their voices are colourful, they’re one of the best A Cappella acts. Need we say more?

Time: Before Qualifying session
Venue: Zone 1, Village Stage
Date: 18 September, Sunday

The band that made everyone go “Eheu eh-o eheu eh-o“… We absolutely love their song ‘Pompeii’ and secretly hope that Singapore will inspire them to write another song named after a place.
Date: 17 September, Saturday
Time: Before Qualifying session
Venue: Zone 4, Padang Stage
4. Queen + Adam Lambert
We’re not sure if they’re gonna perform Bohemian Rhapsody. But if they do, we’re very sure you don’t wanna miss the chance to participate in a Bohemian Rhapsody mass sing along.

Venue: Zone 4 Esplanade Outdoor Theatre

Date: 18 September, Sunday
Time: After last track activity
Venue: Zone 4 Padang Stage
