You do not need a premium Formula 1 ticket to catch some of the biggest concerts at the Singapore Grand Prix 2026.
Tickets start from S$198 to see CORTIS and JJ Lin, S$298 for The Killers, S$368 for Lana Del Rey, and S$498 for Janet Jackson. The trick to getting the cheapest ticket is knowing which stage your favourite artiste is performing at, because the concerts are spread across different zones.
Forget the Grandstands if you are mainly here for the concerts
The most economical way in is through a Walkabout ticket, which gives you access to different zones where the concert stages are located. There are two main options to know about: Zone 4 Walkabout and Premier Walkabout.
Zone 4 Walkabout gives you access only to Zone 4, but that is enough if you want to see CORTIS, JJ Lin, Zara Larsson, The Killers, James Arthur or Lana Del Rey. They are all performing at the Padang Stage in Zone 4.
Premier Walkabout costs more but gives you access to Zones 1, 2, 3 and 4. You will need this if you want to see Janet Jackson at the Wharf Stage, or acts such as DJ Snake, Major Lazer Soundsystem, Mark Ronson and ZHU at the Barge Stage in Zone 1.

Which F1 Singapore 2026 ticket should you buy?
If you are mainly going for the concerts, here is the simplest way to work out the cheapest ticket you need.
Can you actually watch every act with Premier Walkabout?
Premier Walkabout holders should take note: having access to all four zones does not mean you can catch every act. Some performances overlap, and you will also need to factor in walking time between stages.
For example, Split Enz starts at Wharf at 7.15pm on Friday, while CORTIS starts at Padang at 7.30pm. Meanwhile, Janet Jackson and James Arthur both start at 6.15pm on Sunday, so you will have to choose.
Besides the headliners, there are also indie bands, DJs and emerging acts performing throughout the day across different stages.
Want front row at Padang? Here’s how early you should go
If you want a barricade spot for CORTIS, JJ Lin, The Killers or Lana Del Rey, be prepared to sacrifice some F1 action. Padang is free-standing with no reserved spots, and entry is subject to capacity.
There is no separate 2026 opening time for the Padang standing area yet. However, Zone 4 opens at 2pm on Friday, 2.15pm on Saturday and 3pm on Sunday.
How competitive can it get? In 2025, some G-Dragon fans reportedly queued two days before his performance.

How to maximise your F1 ticket
Your Walkabout ticket gives you a full day inside the Circuit Park. Between the big acts, you can catch the F1 action too, including Singapore’s first-ever F1 Sprint weekend, which adds a shorter 100km race on Saturday alongside the main Grand Prix on Sunday.
Outside the F1 sessions, there are also indie bands, DJs and emerging acts performing throughout the day across different stages, plus food, drinks and merchandise around the Circuit Park.
In addition, Premier Walkabout holders can explore all four zones and enjoy complimentary Singapore Flyer rides on a first-come, first-served basis, subject to availability.
However, if getting front row for your favourite artiste is your priority, you may have to skip some of the F1 action and secure your spot at the stage early.

Finally, what happens if it rains?
The Singapore Grand Prix is officially a rain-or-shine event.
However, rain does not automatically mean the race weekend will be cancelled. Entertainment schedules remain subject to change, and safety considerations can affect individual performances.
Most of the major entertainment areas are outdoors, so bringing a lightweight poncho is probably a smarter move than relying on a large umbrella in a packed crowd.
