For this year’s 12th edition of Singapore’s F1 entertainment line-up, it’s just been revealed that headliners like Swedish House Mafia, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Cardi B, and Hans Zimmer will take the stage in September, alongside previously announced names like Muse, Fatboy Slim, Toots and the Maytals, and Larkin Poe.
The once-disbanded house music trio of Swedish House Mafia recently reunited last year, and will bring their repertoire of songs like ‘Don’t You Worry Child’ and ‘Save The World’ to the Padang Stage on Sept 20.
Meanwhile, Californian rockers Red Hot Chili Peppers are slated to perform on our shores for the first time since 2002 on Sept 22, the same day that legendary composer Hans Zimmer presents his orchestrated musical set of soundtracks from films like The Lion King and Pirates of the Caribbean at The Wharf Stage. As for Grammy Award-winning rapper Cardi B, who’s the first solo female artist to clinch Best Rap Album, her hip hop tunes will kick start the party on Sept 21.
Other acts coming to town for F1 include Scottish pop rock outfit Texas, singer-songwriter J.S. Ondara, hip hop artist Raja Kumari, funk-fueled band Jupiter & Okwess, soul crooner NJWA, and dream pop duo Parekh & Singh. Also look out for electro pop tunes by the Singapore-based Ffion, tropical pop melodies by Bangkok band Gym and Swim, and acoustic folk grooves by Melbourne-based Glen Wee.
Tickets for the Sept 20-22 Formula 1 event are already on sale, with early-bird specials available till May 8. Prices start from $98 for a single-day ticket and $268 for a three-day ticket.
