It’s the F1 in Singapore this weekend! It’s an exciting time full of hype, hustle and bustle, and loads of things to do! I thought I would write a short post on all the great stuff happening over the F1 weekend- along with some important things to take note.

The F1 starts this Friday 15th September, and finishes on Sunday 17th, at the Marina Bay Street Circuit. The official race is on Sunday from 8pm onwards, with the Friday & Saturday sessions being the practice and qualifying sessions, respectively. If you’re looking for tickets, you may still be able to purchase them on the events official website, or from official 3rd party sellers. If not, I’ve seen loads of dedicated posts and threads on the various Singapore Facebook groups. Just use your own due diligence and beware of scams. Also, do note that you can’t book just for the race, or just for the concert, it’s an all-in sort of thing, so just make sure you’re buying the correct day.

For me, the most exciting part of F1 is the concert- Formula 1 get some really amazing live bands and acts to perform over the weekend. On Friday we have Jackson Wang; on Saturday the acts will be: Post Malone, Kings of Leon, Culture Club and The Kooks; and on Sunday we have King of Leon again, Groove Armada, Madness and Robbie Williams. This is a massive year for UK artists, with a lot of throwbacks I’m sure us Brits will appreciate!

Don’t forget that places like Marquee and Zouk normally do afterparty events, too, it’s bound to be packed!

The main F1 race is scheduled to end by 10pm on September 17th, so be ready for a spectacular firework display shortly after. If you’re not attending the F1, but just want to watch the fireworks, I would suggest getting there well in advance to grab a spot- the Marina Bay area is normally packed during the F1 weekend, so be sure to get a good spot if you want to see the pyrotechnics.

Not only that, there will be road closures during the F1 weekend. Affected areas are usually town and the CBD, across areas including but not limited to Bayfront Avenue, Esplanade Drive, Raffles Avenue, and Temasek Boulevard and Suntec. Be sure to plan your routes accordingly.

Are you excited or attending the F1 this weekend?!
