The Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix has unveiled another round of performers for its 2026 race weekend, adding a mix of international and regional acts to the entertainment programme taking place from October 9 to 11 at the Marina Bay Street Circuit.
Leading the latest announcement is Janet Jackson, who will headline race day on Sunday at the Wharf Stage in Zone 1. The pop icon, whose catalogue includes hits such as Together Again, That’s the Way Love Goes and All for You, joins a lineup that continues to blur the lines between a sporting event and a large-scale music festival.
Also performing on Sunday is British singer-songwriter James Arthur. Since emerging from The X Factor UK, Arthur has built a global following with songs including Say You Won’t Let Go and Impossible, making him one of the most recognisable names on this year’s bill.
The race-day lineup extends beyond the headliners, with indie-pop band PREP, Australian rock outfit The Rubens, local act MONOCHROME, and rising artist Lola Armour also set to take the stage. Their addition broadens the programme’s musical range, which spans pop, rock, electronic and alternative genres.
The newly announced acts join Mark Ronson and ZHU, who were confirmed earlier as part of the Zone 1 entertainment lineup. Organisers have also indicated that more performers will be revealed in the lead-up to the event.
While Formula 1 remains at the centre of the weekend, live music has become an increasingly prominent part of the Singapore Grand Prix experience. The annual night race has established a reputation for pairing on-track action with major concert performances, drawing audiences beyond traditional motorsport fans.
Race day will also feature the Formula 1 Drivers’ Parade before attention turns to the Singapore Grand Prix itself, where the season’s title contenders will take to the streets of Marina Bay under the lights.
With additional artist announcements still expected, the entertainment lineup for the 2026 edition continues to take shape alongside preparations for one of Formula 1’s most distinctive race weekends.
