PSI, who? It was clear that the haze did not dampen the festivities at the F1 Singapore Grand Prix 2026 – for most people, at least.

From lively performances across all three days to surprise celebrity appearances at the paddock and beyond the Marina Bay Street Circuit, this year’s Grand Prix was one for the books.

Here’s a look at this year’s entertainment highlights.

THE MUSIC AND PERFORMANCES

Before K-pop boy group Cortis kicked off the festivities at Padang Stage on Friday (Oct 9), drama was already brewing on the ground, with social media reports alleging that some fans had littered the area and behaved unruly towards security personnel.

Regardless, the quintet themselves staged one of the best performances this Grand Prix, with their spirited personalities and catchy songs, like RedRed and Fashion, proving infectious. A remarkable feat considering it’s Cortis’ first-ever Singapore show.

Homegrown star JJ Lin capped off the first day’s festivities on a high with crowd-pleasing numbers like If Only and Careful With Fate, the theme song of the hit C-drama Pursuit Of Jade.

While the haze seemed to have no effect on the music acts across all three days, it did take a toll on our entertainment journalist who ended up missing most of Day 2’s performances, save one: The Killers.

And boy was it worth it.

Despite being drenched in sweat, courtesy of the humidity, vocalist Brandon Flowers gave his all as he brought millennials in the crowd on a journey to the good old days with evergreen hits like Human, Read My Mind and Mr Brightside.

The fact that every member of The Killers delivered a brilliant performance makes it all the more puzzling that the band has yet to stage a standalone concert in Singapore in their more than 20 years together.

Clearly, the demand is there, judging by the size of the crowds singing along to their anthems.

Speaking of icons, the final day of the three-day-long festivities saw Janet Jackson and Lana Del Rey closing out the Wharf Stage and Padang Stage, respectively.

Jackson was still smoothly executing the choreography to her evergreen hits like All Nite (Don’t Stop) and Feedback.

One of the biggest crowd reactions of the weekend came when she launched into Scream, her iconic collaboration with her late brother, the King Of Pop, Michael Jackson, as its music video played.

Lana Del Rey may have taken the stage about 20 minutes late, but she made up for it with the weekend’s most visually striking set. With extravagant set pieces, including a cottage and a giant swing, complementing her signature melancholic vocals, her performance was a masterclass by every metric as she breezed through her signature hits like Summertime Sadness and Born To Die.

While the set may have been Lana Del Rey’s first-ever Singapore show, it should hopefully convince her to stage a concert in the city – given the huge applause and cheers throughout the hour.

STAR POWER OFF THE RACE TRACK

At this point, it might have been easier to name the celebrities who weren't in Singapore over the Grand Prix weekend.

From the F1 paddock to brand events and pop-ups around town, the city was packed with familiar faces from the worlds of music, film, fashion and sport.

Some of the weekend's performers even found time to enjoy Singapore beyond the stage. The Killers frontman Brandon Flowers shared a photo of himself tucking into mee goreng at an open-air hawker centre – in the same sweltering weather that had him sweating buckets during the band's Saturday night set.

Swedish pop star Zara Larsson, meanwhile, appeared to have found a new favourite Singapore snack. She shared her enthusiasm for salted egg fish skin from local brands Irvins and The Golden Duck Co, stocking up on several bags before leaving the country.

Homegrown Mandopop star JJ Lin, who headlined Friday's Padang Stage concert, was also spotted enjoying the race weekend with his mother and girlfriend, Chinese influencer Annalisa Qi Qi.

K-pop fans had plenty of famous faces to look out for, too. 2NE1's Sandara Park attended the Reserve party and posed with drivers Liam Lawson and Arvid Lindblad.

Stray Kids members Bang Chan and Felix attended separate engagements involving Aston Martin and Ferrari respectively, Got7’s BamBam was a guest for the Adidas Thailand x Mercedes-AMG Petronas collaboration, while Shinee's Minho squeezed in a 10km run around Sentosa despite Singapore's humidity.

"It's definitely humid. Sweat is pouring down. A solid jog," Minho wrote in Korean after sharing his run on Instagram.

Other K-pop stars in town included members of girl group Meovv, Ive's Jang Wonyoung, Twice's Tzuyu and CNBlue's Jung Yong-hwa.

The guest list also included South Korean actor Jung Hae-in, Chinese actor Gong Jun and Taiwanese singer Jam Hsiao, who attended the Marina Bay Street Circuit with his wife, Summer Lin, as a guest of luxury watchmaker Richard Mille.

The star power wasn't limited to entertainment.

French footballer and World Cup winner Paul Pogba was in town as a Mercedes guest, while former NBA stars Dwyane Wade and Chris Paul also joined the festivities. Model Romeo Beckham, son of David and Victoria Beckham, attended as an F1 guest, while Chinese Olympic freestyle skiing champion Eileen Gu was spotted with the race trophy on Sunday.

Gu also made time to check out the race ahead of her speaking engagement at Singapore Management University on Monday as part of the second KFF Inspiring Women Leadership Series.

AND THEN THERE WAS KIM KARDASHIAN

Arguably, the biggest non-sporting celeb in the circuit was American socialite-businesswoman Kim Kardashian, who flew in to support her boyfriend, Lewis Hamilton, who races for Ferrari.

Before the race, Kardashian was also spotted at Marina Bay Sands, where she visited Hamilton's pop-up store for his lifestyle brand .

She spent the race weekend in the Ferrari garage and paddock, cheering on Hamilton, who finished second in the Saturday sprint race and sixth in the main Grand Prix.

Clearly, the race track wasn't the only platform drawing attention over the weekend.

以下是今年新加坡大奖赛的娱乐亮点。

PSI是谁？很明显，雾霾并没有影响2026年F1新加坡大奖赛的气氛——至少对大多数人来说是这样。

从三天精彩纷呈的表演，到赛场内外名人惊喜现身滨海湾街道赛道，今年的F1大奖赛堪称经典。

以下是今年娱乐活动的精彩亮点回顾。

音乐和表演

在韩国流行男团Cortis于周五（10月9日）在Padang Stage拉开庆祝活动序幕之前，现场已经出现了一些小插曲，社交媒体报道称一些粉丝在现场乱扔垃圾，并对保安人员行为不端。

尽管如此，这五位成员凭借他们充满活力的个性和朗朗上口的歌曲（例如《RedRed》和《Fashion》），为本次大奖赛奉献了最精彩的表演之一，极具感染力。考虑到这是Cortis在新加坡的首秀，这无疑是一项了不起的成就。

本土明星林俊杰以《如果》和《小心命运》等脍炙人口的歌曲，为首日的庆祝活动画上了圆满的句号。《小心命运》是热门中国电视剧《追玉》的主题曲。

虽然烟雾似乎对三天的音乐表演没有任何影响，但它确实给我们的娱乐记者造成了影响，他最终错过了第二天的大部分演出，只错过了一场：杀手乐队的演出。

真是太值得了。

尽管汗流浃背（这要归功于潮湿的天气），主唱 Brandon Flowers 依然全力以赴，用《Human》、《Read My Mind》和《Mr Brightside》等经典金曲，带领现场的千禧一代重温了美好的旧时光。

The Killers 乐队的每一位成员都奉献了精彩的表演，这更令人费解的是，该乐队成立 20 多年来竟然还没有在新加坡举办过一场独立的演唱会。

从人群齐声高唱国歌的规模来看，显然存在着这种需求。

说到偶像级人物，在为期三天的庆祝活动的最后一天，珍妮·杰克逊和拉娜·德雷分别在码头舞台和巴东舞台压轴演出。

杰克逊依然流畅地演绎着她的经典热门歌曲，如《All Nite (Don't Stop)》和《Feedback》。

周末最热烈的反响之一，是当她演唱《Scream》时，这首歌是她与已故的哥哥、流行音乐之王迈克尔·杰克逊合作的标志性作品，当时这首歌的音乐录影带正在播放。

拉娜·德雷 (Lana Del Rey) 虽然迟到了大约 20 分钟才登台，但她用周末最令人惊艳的视觉效果弥补了这一点。奢华的舞台布景，包括一座小屋和一个巨型秋千，与她标志性的忧郁嗓音相得益彰，她的表演堪称完美，轻松演绎了《Summertime Sadness》和《Born To Die》等经典金曲。

虽然这可能是 Lana Del Rey 在新加坡的首场演出，但考虑到整整一个小时的演出中观众的热烈掌声和欢呼声，这应该足以让她决定在新加坡举办一场演唱会。

赛道外的明星效应

此时，或许更容易列举出哪些名人没有在F1大奖赛周末期间出现在新加坡。

从F1赛车场到遍布全城的品牌活动和快闪店，这座城市到处都是来自音乐、电影、时尚和体育界的熟悉面孔。

周末演出的一些艺人甚至还抽出时间在舞台之外享受新加坡的风情。The Killers乐队主唱Brandon Flowers分享了一张自己在露天小贩中心大快朵颐炒面的照片——而就在周六晚上乐队演出时，他汗流浃背，当时的天气依然酷热难耐。

与此同时，瑞典流行歌手扎拉·拉尔森似乎找到了她最爱的新加坡零食。她对本地品牌Irvins和The Golden Duck Co的咸蛋鱼皮赞不绝口，在离开新加坡前还囤了好几包。

本土华语流行音乐明星林俊杰（JJ Lin）是周五在巴东舞台演唱会的压轴嘉宾，他也被发现与母亲和女友——中国网红戚倩（Annalisa Qi Qi）一起享受赛马周末。

K-pop粉丝们也看到了不少名人面孔。2NE1成员Sandara Park出席了Reserve派对，并与司机Liam Lawson和Arvid Lindblad合影。

Stray Kids 成员方灿和 Felix 分别出席了与阿斯顿·马丁和法拉利相关的活动，GOT7 的 BamBam 出席了 Adidas Thailand x Mercedes-AMG Petronas 的合作活动，而 SHINee 的珉豪则不顾新加坡的潮湿天气，在圣淘沙岛跑了 10 公里。

“天气很潮湿。汗流浃背。跑得真酣畅淋漓。”珉豪在Instagram上分享了他的跑步经历后用韩语写道。

其他到场的韩国流行音乐明星包括女子组合 Meovv 的成员、Ive 的张元英、Twice 的子瑜和 CNBLUE 的郑容和。

嘉宾名单还包括韩国演员丁海寅、中国演员孔俊和台湾歌手萧敬腾，萧敬腾携妻子林夏华作为奢侈腕表制造商理查德·米勒的嘉宾出席了滨海湾街巡回赛。

明星效应并不局限于娱乐界。

法国足球运动员、世界杯冠军保罗·博格巴作为梅赛德斯车队的嘉宾出席了活动，前NBA球星德怀恩·韦德和克里斯·保罗也参加了庆祝活动。模特罗密欧·贝克汉姆（大卫·贝克汉姆和维多利亚·贝克汉姆的儿子）作为F1车队的嘉宾出席，而中国奥运会自由式滑雪冠军顾爱玲则在周日被拍到手捧比赛奖杯。

顾女士周一在新加坡管理大学发表演讲之前，还抽出时间关注了这场比赛。此次演讲是KFF第二届“鼓舞人心的女性领导力系列”活动的一部分。

然后，还有金·卡戴珊

可以说，赛场上最大的非体育界名人是美国社交名媛兼女商人金·卡戴珊，她飞来支持她的男友刘易斯·汉密尔顿，后者效力于法拉利车队。

在比赛之前，卡戴珊还被拍到出现在滨海湾金沙酒店，她参观了汉密尔顿为其生活方式品牌开设的快闪店。

她在比赛周末一直待在法拉利车库和围场里，为汉密尔顿加油助威。汉密尔顿在周六的冲刺赛中获得第二名，在正赛中获得第六名。

显然，赛道并不是周末唯一吸引人们关注的平台。
