Janet Jackson, Zara Larsson, and Cortis are the latest acts confirmed for the Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix 2026 — and the loudest name by far is Jackson's.

The influential American pop star has not performed in Singapore for 15 years. For her return to Singapore, she will perform at the Wharf Stage in Zone 1 on Sunday, October 11, joining previously announced acts like Mark Ronson, DJ Snake, Major Lazer Soundsystem, and Goo Goo Dolls. 

Over at the Padang Stage in Zone 4, expect heavy hitters from the region's biggest music scenes. On Friday, October 9, catch homegrown mandopop legend JJ Lin and the K-pop phenomenon Cortis. Swedish pop darling Zara Larsson takes the same stage with high-energy anthems on Saturday, October 10, while British singer-songwriter James Arthur brings the soul on Sunday, October 11.

These new acts join plenty more entertainment acts spread across three days and over 10 stages at the Marina Bay Circuit Park. Catch Split Enz at the Zone 1 Wharf Stage, ZHU and Flight Facilities at the Zone 1 Barge Stage, and Spacey Jane and Lola Armour at the Zone 4 stages. And Singapore GP is not done – more music acts are expected to join the line-up in the coming months. 

Get your tickets to Singapore GP 2026 on the official site here or via official resellers here. Not every ticket grants access to every zone; passes to the Sunday race day are also more expensive and sell out faster – so think strategically and act fast.
