Singapore, 2 September 2026 – Grand Prix™ Season Singapore (opens in new tab) (GPSS) will take over the city from 2 to 11 October 2026, bringing the excitement of the race season beyond the circuit with a full slate of race-themed lifestyle experiences in multiple precincts across Singapore. Complementing the FORMULA 1 (F1) Singapore Airlines Singapore Grand Prix 2026, the 17th edition of GPSS offers both visitors and locals a wide range of limited-time experiences to savour throughout this race season.
Two new headliners join GPSS this year: the adidas Motorsport Popups at Funan and Raffles City Shopping Centre, and Orchard Paddock 2026 at Ngee Ann City Civic Plaza, alongside returning headliner CQ@Clarke Quay’s Ray-Ban presents: Beyond the Track. Alongside the three headliners and their large-scale programming, this year's programme partners span both new and returning names — with debutants PlayStation's Gran Turismo World Series Round 3 and Porsche with Raceborn Fest joining familiar favourites such as Zouk, TRIFECTA and LEGO®.
Ms Lilian Chee, Director, Sports, Singapore Tourism Board, said, “Grand Prix™ Season Singapore amplifies the race experience by building anticipation and bringing fans together in the lead-up to one of the most exciting weekends on Singapore's events calendar. Every year, our programme partners bring fresh ideas and experiences to GPSS, adding to the energy across the city and reinforcing Singapore's position as a dynamic and vibrant destination. We invite seasoned motorsport fans and first-timers alike to feel the buzz across the city, soak in the atmosphere, and create memories that make our race weekend truly distinctive."
Following the adidas Orchard Ignition event in August — which featured a Live Race Car Demo and an exclusive appearance by K-pop girl group BABYMONSTER — adidas extends its programming with the adidas Motorsport Popups: the adidas x Audi Revolut F1 Team Popup at Funan, and the adidas x Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team Popup at Raffles City Shopping Centre. Motorsport fans can look forward to immersive experiences at both popups, including showcar displays, racing simulators, and exclusive collections.
Orchard Paddock 2026 brings the electrifying energy of race weekend to Orchard Road, Singapore’s most iconic thoroughfare. Making its debut at GPSS from 8 to 10 October, the event will transform Ngee Ann City Civic Plaza after dark with late-night dining, live performances from local acts, and open-air movie screenings — giving visitors more ways to experience the excitement of race season into the night.
The live music line-up on 8 October at Orchard Paddock will be headlined by ALYPH, a Singapore-born rapper, songwriter and producer who is one of the region's most prominent contemporary hip-hop names and is the artist behind viral hit ‘SWIPE’; and YAØ, a Singaporean singer-songwriter and producer celebrated for his genre-blending contemporary pop sound. They will be joined by established local live acts 53A, the band behind Singapore’s 2016 National Day Song 'Tomorrow's Here Today’; Reverie, a mainstay of Singapore's live music scene known for its energetic rock, soul and funk performances; and Dreamsound, an indie creative music collective and label based in Singapore.
Over at the Singapore River, CQ @ Clarke Quay returns this year with Ray-Ban presents: Beyond the Track, as Ray-Ban brings the Scuderia Ferrari Collection to life at the bustling riverside precinct. Visitors can explore limited-edition pieces from the collection, take on thrilling race-themed challenges, including Race Simulators, Pit Stop Challenge, and Reflex Test, and stand a chance to win exclusive merchandise. In addition, fans can also look forward to a special appearance by a Scuderia Ferrari HP Formula 1® driver and continue the night at the popup with live performances from international acts as part of Music Matters Live.
At Marina Bay, PlayStation’s Gran Turismo World Series (GTWS) Round 3 makes history as Singapore becomes its first-ever GTWS championship stop in Southeast Asia, bringing the world's premier virtual racing championship to the Sands Theatre at Marina Bay Sands on 3 October. With the world's best GT drivers battling for crucial points in the Manufacturers Cup and Nations Cup, the stakes couldn't be higher as the penultimate round before the finals in Tokyo, promising an unmissable showdown for sim racing and esports fans alike.
Also making its debut at GPSS this year, Porsche's Raceborn Fest at Guoco Midtown invites thrill-seekers to experience the marque's rich motorsport heritage with iconic classic racing cars on display, alongside the unveiling of the new 911 Challenge race car for the first time in Southeast Asia. Visitors can take part in exciting motorsport-themed activities, step into the world of motorsport with professional racing simulators, and discover more about the upcoming Porsche Experience Centre Singapore — set to open next year in Changi.
The fully reopened Zouk Singapore is set to deliver world-class sets from DJs Argy and Mustard, alongside high-energy club experiences in the lead-up to race weekend with Zouk Presents: The Circuit. Over in Somerset, TRIFECTA will stage its marquee entertainment and music event, Backyard Sessions Vol. 6, to build anticipation for race weekend, and partner with Sports Car Club Singapore for the Sports Car Charity Drive on 3 October in a nod to community giving. At Suntec City, visitors can marvel at a VCARB F1® LEGO Big Build Race Car and Singapore's largest LEGO race-themed mosaic, before taking part in hands-on challenges to win exclusive LEGO rewards.
