Each precinct will showcase the best that the area has to offer, running from September 13 through to the day of the Singapore Grand Prix, September 22.

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. Also here in Grand Prix season is a merging of street culture and racing in ‘CQ @ Clarke Quay‘.

The culture and heritage district of Kampong Gelam will be a smorgasbord of food, performances, cinema and sports in the days leading up to the 2024 Singapore Grand Prix. Local cuisine will be on offer from food trucks across the Baghdad Street car park, Sultan Gate Park and Aliwal Street car park.

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 2024 Singapore Grand Prix, with OneRepublic headlining proceedings on Friday, Kylie Minogue performing on Saturday and Lenny Kravitz closing out the festivities on Sunday night.

Around 140 different acts usually perform across 13 stages over the race weekend. Further confirmed acts include The Corrs, HONNE, Sea Girls, Disclosure and BabyMonster. Further details about which stage each act will perform on plus concert timings can be found here.

In addition to the trackside concerts, head to MARQUEE Singapore for DJ sets from Axwell and Afrojack.

Main Event: The 2024 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 last two years; with the wet conditions in 2022 and the only non-Red Bull victory in 2023. The tight confines of the Marina Bay Street Circuit are likely to challenge the drivers once more at the 2024 Singapore Grand Prix as the championship battle 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 the 2024 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.
