Singapore GP 2026: Music, Artists and Three Nights at Amber Lounge

SINGAPORE. The Singapore GP 2026 runs October 9, 10 and 11, with race day on Sunday October 12. Amber Lounge is at the Fullerton Bay Hotel and Clifford Pier for all three nights, doors from 9PM. Three evenings. Three different rooms.

Singapore GP 2026: Three Nights, One Room

Thursday is the tense night. The grid has qualified but not raced, and you feel it in how people sit, what they order, which conversations stop when a door opens. The music on opening night tends to be sharper for this reason: tighter sets, more house-leaning, built for a room that has not decided to let go yet. By midnight it usually has.

Friday and Saturday are where the programme gets room to breathe. Artists who have played Singapore over the years include Craig David, Akon, Jason Derulo, and Afrojack. These are acts that work in a room where half the crowd does not know the setlist and the other half has been waiting all season. The sound system at Clifford Pier is not understated. The view across Marina Bay, with the circuit tower lit on the far side of the water, is not either.

Sunday runs longest. Race day means the result is already in by the time people arrive, so the room is either celebrating something or close enough to it. Race winners have walked into Amber Lounge Singapore more than once. That specific dynamic is not easy to manufacture.

The Venues: Fullerton Bay Hotel and Clifford Pier

Singapore has been at Fullerton Bay since 2007. The hotel sits on the waterfront, looking directly across the bay to the circuit. Clifford Pier, a covered colonial-era pier now used as event space, handles the larger nights. Two venues, one crowd, moving between them over the course of the evening. The city is lit up outside on both sides.

Who the Room Draws

Singapore race week brings a different mix from Monaco. The city's financial and hospitality communities show up in numbers, alongside regional luxury and travel crowds. Drivers who have come through over the years include Lewis Hamilton, Carlos Sainz, Lando Norris, Charles Leclerc, Max Verstappen, and Daniel Ricciardo. Cristiano Ronaldo has attended. So have Naomi Campbell, Heidi Klum, and Justin Bieber at different points across 23 years.

The fashion show, held under HSH Prince Albert II of Monaco's patronage, draws from the same guest list but runs as its own event within the race week programme.

This is not a fan event. It has never been marketed that way. The room works because of access, not proximity.
