Zara Larsson made her first Singapore concert lively, bringing dancer Dineaish onstage and giving fans a colourful, high-energy show with live solos and singalongs.

The Killers returned for their third Singapore Grand Prix headlining set and played two decades of big hits, with Brandon Flowers joking, “We’re in the service industry.”

Their performance peaked with emotional crowd moments on All These Things That I’ve Done and a huge finale singalong to Mr. Brightside, ending the night in celebration.

When Swedish pop star Zara Larsson pulled Singapore dancer Dineaish onto the Padang stage during her performance of 2015 hit Lush Life, the latter executed the song’s intricate, arm-swinging dance break choreography flawlessly.

While the fan-dance break, which included Larsson handing Dineaish a custom spray-painted T-shirt, is a staple of her shows, the moment exemplified how fan service came to the fore on the second night of F1. The Oct 10 shows also included a headlining set by American alternative rock band The Killers.

Kicking off her set just before sundown at 6.47pm, 28-year-old Larsson made a striking impression at her inaugural Singapore concert.

The haze hanging over the Marina Bay Street Circuit did little to dampen the spirits of the crowd, many of whom were young fans clad in vibrant, colourful outfits, just like Larsson, her dancers and her band.

Visually, the giant LED screens bathed the stage with vivid imagery of dolphins, scenic mountain regions and glowing suns.

The performance was the singer’s first concert in Singapore.

Larsson powered through a high-octane, 55-minute performance packed with head-swinging routines and hip swivels.

Her positivity was infectious. And she demonstrated deep respect for her craft by bringing out an all-female backing band, introducing each member by name and letting them have the spotlight with brief solos on the guitar, bass and drums. She also featured her four dancers in a dedicated roll-call segment and gave a shout-out to the behind-the-scenes crew.

Her set list offered a seamless mix of signature hits and recent material, opening and ending with the euphoric title track from her 2025 album Midnight Sun. She followed up with the electroclash single Pretty Ugly (2025) and the sassy Ain’t My Fault (2016), while Symphony (2017), her collaboration with Clean Bandit, elicited massive sing-alongs.

Rousing set from The Killers

If there were any doubts as to why the race organisers brought The Killers back for their third headlining appearance at the Singapore Grand Prix after 2013 and 2018, the Las Vegas band’s rousing set answered them instantly.

“We’re The Killers and we’re in the service industry,” frontman Brandon Flowers, 45, quipped before showering the audience with two decades of crowd-pleasing repertoire. The singer, who also occasionally played synthesizers and bass, remained as nimble and commanding as ever, pacing the stage and keeping the packed Padang audience captivated.

He came on with the rest of the band at 10.40pm in a dapper black suit. He was already drenched in sweat by the second song and removed the jacket within 15 minutes.

Their set also featured core members Dave Keuning on guitars, and Ronnie Vannucci Jr. on drums. Bassist Mark Stoermer, who does not tour internationally, was not there, but the band was bolstered by a touring bassist, additional guitarist, keyboardist and three female backing vocalists.

Like their previous F1 sets, the band performed an unrelenting sequence of stadium-sized anthems, with thunderous choruses and electrifying call-and-response segments.

On When You Were Young (2006), Flowers delivered soaring vocals with fiery commitment, his face turning red and veins popping on his neck. Shot At The Night (2013) and Runaways (2012) saw him channel the intensity of a manic motivational speaker, commanding the crowd to wave their hands, while breakout dance-rock anthem Somebody Told Me (2004) made waves with its driving bassline and hooks.

The band’s rendition of All These Things That I’ve Done (2004) featured the set’s emotional peak. Tens of thousands of fans joined in the gospel-inflected chant of the song’s signature bridge (”I got soul, but I’m not a soldier”), as confetti rained down from the stage.

For the finale, the band unleashed one of the biggest indie rock tracks of the last two decades, Mr. Brightside (2004), which triggered a massive, field-wide sing-along.

Towards the end, Flowers repeated the “I got soul, but I’m not a soldier” chant before the performance evolved into a free-form instrumental climax, an ecstatic finish to a 75-minute set.

Zara Larsson 在新加坡举办的首场演唱会气氛热烈，她邀请舞蹈演员 Dineaish 上台表演，为歌迷们带来了一场精彩纷呈、活力四射的演出，包括现场独唱和合唱。

The Killers 乐队第三次在新加坡大奖赛上担任压轴演出嘉宾，演奏了他们二十年来的热门歌曲，主唱 Brandon Flowers 开玩笑说：“我们从事的是服务行业。”

他们的表演在演唱《All These Things That I've Done》时达到了高潮，现场观众情绪激动，最后全场大合唱《Mr. Brightside》，为当晚的演出画上了圆满的句号。

2015 年，瑞典流行歌星 Zara Larsson 在表演热门歌曲《Lush Life》时，将新加坡舞蹈演员 Dineaish 拉上了巴东舞台，后者完美地完成了这首歌曲中复杂的、手臂摆动的舞蹈动作。

虽然与粉丝互动环节（包括拉尔森递给迪内什一件定制喷绘T恤）是她演唱会的标志性环节，但这一幕也充分体现了F1第二晚的粉丝服务有多么重要。10月10日的演出还包括美国另类摇滚乐队The Killers的压轴表演。

28 岁的 Larsson 在日落前 6 点 47 分开始了她的演出，她在新加坡的首场演唱会上给人留下了深刻的印象。

笼罩在滨海湾街赛道上的薄雾并没有影响到人群的热情，其中许多是年轻的粉丝，他们穿着鲜艳多彩的服装，就像拉尔森、她的舞者和她的乐队一样。

视觉上，巨大的LED屏幕将海豚、风景秀丽的山区和耀眼的太阳的生动画面投射到舞台上。

这是这位歌手在新加坡的首场演唱会。

拉尔森以55分钟的精彩表演，展现了高能量的舞姿，其中包括甩头和扭胯等动作。

她的积极乐观极具感染力。她对自己的事业充满敬意，特意请来了一支全女性伴奏乐队，逐一介绍每位成员，并让她们分别在吉他、贝斯和鼓上进行简短的独奏，充分展现了她们的才华。她还在特别的环节中向四位舞者致意，并向幕后工作人员表达了感谢。

她的歌单完美融合了经典金曲和近期作品，以2025年专辑《Midnight Sun》中令人振奋的同名主打歌开场和结尾。随后，她演唱了电子摇滚单曲《Pretty Ugly》（2025）和充满活力的《Ain't My Fault》（2016），而与Clean Bandit合作的《Symphony》（2017）则引发了全场大合唱。

The Killers 的精彩演出

如果还有人怀疑为什么赛事组织者在 2013 年和 2018 年之后第三次邀请 The Killers 乐队作为压轴嘉宾亮相新加坡大奖赛，那么这支拉斯维加斯乐队激动人心的表演立刻解答了他们的疑惑。

“我们是杀手乐队，我们从事服务行业，”45岁的主唱布兰登·弗劳尔斯打趣道，随后便为观众献上了二十年来脍炙人口的经典曲目。这位歌手偶尔也会演奏合成器和贝斯，他依然身手矫健、魅力四射，在舞台上踱步，牢牢吸引着巴东爆满的观众。

晚上10点40分，他身着一套笔挺的黑色西装，和乐队其他成员一起登台。第二首歌还没唱完，他就已经汗流浃背，不到15分钟就脱掉了外套。

他们的演出阵容还包括核心成员吉他手戴夫·库宁和鼓手罗尼·瓦努奇二世。贝斯手马克·斯托默不参加国际巡演，因此缺席了演出，但乐队得到了巡演贝斯手、吉他手、键盘手和三位女和声歌手的支援。

和他们之前的 F1 表演一样，乐队演奏了一系列气势磅礴的体育场级歌曲，其中穿插着雷鸣般的合唱和激动人心的呼应环节。

这是杀手乐队继 2013 年和 2018 年之后第三次在新加坡大奖赛上担任压轴演出嘉宾。

在《When You Were Young》（2006）中，弗劳尔斯以充满激情的高亢嗓音倾情演绎，脸涨得通红，脖子上的青筋暴起。在《Shot At The Night》（2013）和《Runaways》（2012）中，他展现出狂热励志演说家的气场，号召观众挥舞双手；而让他一炮而红的舞曲摇滚金曲《Somebody Told Me》（2004）则凭借强劲的贝斯和朗朗上口的旋律掀起了一股热潮。

乐队演绎的《All These Things That I've Done》（2004）将整场演出的情感推向了高潮。数万名歌迷齐声高唱着这首歌标志性的副歌部分（“我有灵魂，但我不是士兵”），五彩纸屑从舞台上如雨般落下。

在演出尾声，乐队播放了近二十年来最伟大的独立摇滚歌曲之一《Mr. Brightside》（2004），引发了全场大规模的大合唱。

临近尾声时，Flowers 反复吟唱着“我有灵魂，但我不是士兵”，随后表演演变成自由形式的器乐高潮，为这场 75 分钟的演出画上了狂喜的句号。
