Lana Del Rey delivered one of the standout performances of the 2026 Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix weekend, closing the three-day event with a set at the Padang Stage on Sunday, October 11.

The American singer-songwriter brought her signature cinematic aesthetic to the Singapore crowd, combining atmospheric visuals, elaborate stage decorations and her recognisable vocals for a performance that capped the weekendโ€™s entertainment programme. According to CNA Lifestyle, the production featured striking set pieces, including a cottage and a giant swing.

The performance followed the Singapore Grand Prix race, with Del Rey taking over the stage for the festivalโ€™s final musical showcase. Her appearance was among the weekendโ€™s headline attractions, which also included Janet Jackson, The Killers, JJ Lin, Zara Larsson and DJ Snake.

Lana Del Rey Delivers a Set of Fan Favourites

Del Reyโ€™s set featured several defining songs from her catalogue, including โ€œYoung and Beautiful,โ€ โ€œVideo Games,โ€ โ€œWest Coast,โ€ โ€œBorn to Dieโ€ and โ€œSummertime Sadness.โ€ She also performed โ€œWhite Feather Hawk Tail Deer Hunter,โ€ which made its live debut during the show, according to the reported setlist.

The performance balanced familiar hits with material from across her more recent releases. Songs such as โ€œChemtrails Over the Country Club,โ€ โ€œUltraviolence,โ€ โ€œRideโ€ and โ€œDid You Know That Thereโ€™s a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvdโ€ helped give the set a broad view of her musical evolution.

The elaborate staging complemented the singerโ€™s melancholic sound, creating a performance that stood apart from the high-energy atmosphere usually associated with a major motorsport weekend. For many attendees, the show was also a significant occasion: it marked Del Reyโ€™s first-ever performance in Singapore.

A Star-Studded Grand Prix Weekend

The 2026 Singapore Grand Prix ran from October 9 to 11 at the Marina Bay Street Circuit, pairing Formula 1 racing with a major entertainment programme across the eventโ€™s concert stages.

The Killers performed on Saturday, while Janet Jackson and Del Rey headlined the final dayโ€™s musical events. The varied lineup brought together artists from pop, rock, R&B and electronic music, reinforcing the Singapore Grand Prixโ€™s reputation as a destination for both motorsport and live entertainment.

Del Reyโ€™s closing performance provided a fitting final chapter to the weekend, bringing her distinctive visual world and celebrated catalogue to a major international audience.
