Grand Prix Season Singapore 2024 marks 15th edition with refreshed race-themed program
Grand Prix Season Singapore (GPSS) returns from 13 to 22 September 2024 with a series of race-themed lifestyle experiences across the city.
The GPSS complements the FORMULA 1 (F1) Singapore Airlines Singapore Grand Prix 2024 experience and encourages visitors and locals to discover myriad offerings across different parts of the city.
“In its 15th edition, Grand Prix Season Singapore continues to captivate our visitors and locals with 10 days of race-themed festivities, heightening the buzz of the race season across Singapore,” Singapore Tourism Board executive director of sports and wellness, Ong Ling Lee, said.
“As a key highlight in Singapore’s events calendar, GPSS 2024 showcases the diversity of our attractions, dining, entertainment and retail offerings, all of which our visitors and locals can relish.”
The 2024 GPSS features large-scale activations through four GPSS headliners at different precincts across Singapore:
- Groovedriver Festival 2024 at Singapore Sports Hub in Kallang
It marks the first time there will be a 10-day live music and entertainment programming for GPSS taking place at the Singapore Sports Hub. The event features an extensive lineup of performers including EuroBeats, with Vengaboys, Snap! and N-Trance; Wipeout, an electronic dance music party featuring Aquagen, Special D., and local DJs such as Inquisitive and Farah Farz; Autorewind, a retro 80-90s pop night led by Johnny Hates Jazz and Tunde from Lighthouse Family, as well as house music presented by Ministry of Sound. - Jam Off 2024 at Orchard Road
The cross-culture extravaganza debuts internationally for the first time on Orchard Road, transforming the Somerset Belt with exciting activities. The main stage at Youth Park features performances by Hong Kong artists PakHo Chau, YT YanTing, Supper Moment, and Indonesia’s up-and-coming rapper, RAMENGVRL featuring Kenz. - The Glam Circuit Festival at Kampong Gelam
The event turns the lively cultural enclave into a race-themed wonderland, set amidst its historical charm. Motorsports fans can look forward to mini motorcycle rides at Sultan Gate Road and simulator racing at Baghdad Street carpark. Music lovers can swing by Sultan Gate Park and Aliwal Street carpark where a music festival programme includes live music competition Glam Voices 2024, as well as homegrown bands and acts such as NADI Singapura, 53A, BUSHMEN and more. - CQ @ Clarke Quay x Culture Cartel Presents: Street Style Speedway at Clark Quay
The event features captivating art installations with local artists transforming car wraps into works of art, with a different visual experience in the evening when artworks are translated into projection mappings on cars. A futuristic Speed Tunnel on Read Bridge will also mesmerise visitors with light projections of dynamic light installations and shows. Shoppers can explore the Limited Edt x Culture Cartel pop-up stores that showcases racethemed merchandise from street and lifestyle brands, before ending the night with a captivating Drone Show over Clarke Quay and the Singapore River, accompanied by vibrant music and lights.
Off The Grid
These events take place alongside offerings by GPSS partners, including the newly-opened Dragonfly Singapore, a bar offering a time-limited and GPSS-exclusive cocktail menu; Off The Grid by The Southern Depot, presenting exclusive day-to-night arts, dining, and entertainment experiences, along with racethemed merchandise; and TRIFECTA Race Club’s rooftop takeover with pop-up party series GrooveTop, featuring a diverse DJ lineup and music genres, alongside surf and snow challenges and test drives.
