GPSS officially runs from September 26 to October 5.

Internationally renowned DJs, this year including Jonas Blue and Jay Sean, headline the event and there’s free flowing champagne throughout the festivities.

Elsewhere you can check out the eclectic range of music and art on offer from local artists.
Clarke Quay
As Singapore’s premier nightlife destination, it’s no surprise that Clarke Quay is the place to be to soak up sets by renowned DJs in the run up to the Singapore Grand Prix. As part of Hit The Apex at CQ @ Clarke Quay, Music Matters Live will feature 40 artists from 17 countries taking part in special themed nights, including Japan Night, Australia Night and Girls’ Night Out.

Enjoy the Singapore Grand Prix Concerts
Since the first race in 2008, the Singapore Grand Prix has attracted musical superstars to perform trackside over the race weekend. The tradition continues at the 2025 Singapore Grand Prix, with G-Dragon headlining proceedings on Friday, Foo Fighters performing on Saturday and Elton John closing out the festivities on Sunday night.
Aside from the headliners, there are a wealth of other international and local acts performing across the weekend. Further confirmed performers include Lewis Capaldi, Crowded House, Clean Bandit, The Smashing Pumpkins and Tom Grennan.
In addition to the trackside concerts, head to MARQUEE Singapore for DJ sets from Martin Garrix and Afrojack. The GrooveDriver Festival will also be taking place across the city on September 26-28 and October 2, featuring acts from all genres.
Main Event: The 2025 Singapore Grand Prix
Of course, the main attraction for most fans is the racing itself. The Singapore Grand Prix has delivered drama and excitement in the recent years; wet conditions caused havoc in 2022 and Carlos Sainz took the only non-Red Bull victory of the year in 2023. Lando Norris was victorious last season. The tight confines of the Marina Bay Street Circuit are likely to challenge the drivers once more at the 2025 Singapore Grand Prix as the championship battle between the two McLaren drivers continues to heat up.
There’s three days of racing action in store, with Porsche Carrera Cup Asia and F1 Academy providing further on-track fun.
Our updated trackside guide to attending the 2025 Singapore Grand Prix will help you get the most out of your weekend. It includes the full on-track schedule, details of driver meet and greets, information on food and drink, plus other helpful advice.
Singapore Off-Track
A major draw of the Singapore Grand Prix being held at night is that it gives you time to explore the city during the day before the racing action begins. Check out the interesting architecture in Chinatown, take a trip on the Singapore Flyer to get the best views of the surrounding area or even visit Universal Studios Singapore. Learn more about where to visit in our guide to the best things to see and do in Singapore.
