If you are worried the lingering unhealthy haze was about to ruin your weekend plans. Think again. The Singapore Grand Prix 2026 and its massive entertainment lineup are officially going ahead despite the haze. Formula 1 confirmed today that the race schedule remains entirely unchanged and fans can expect the world-class concerts to go ahead as planned. Although, authorities are closely monitoring pollution levels as Singapore recorded the world’s worst air pollution today. Meanwhile, they have a contingency plan in place. Here’s what we know about the F1 Singapore haze update.
What to expect despite the haze
The FIA declared the Singapore Grand Prix a heat hazard race with track side temperatures expected to top 33°C—so drivers will definitely be tested this weekend. However, thundery showers are forecasted throughout the weekend so the rain could actually provide a much-needed silver lining to help wash away the airborne particles and clear the skies before Sunday’s main night race.
Additionally, the haze isn’t stopping the blockbuster concerts at Marina Bay either. Tonight kicks off with homegrown Mandopop superstar JJ Lin headlining the Padang Stage. On Saturday, rock legends The Killers will take over the main stage, and Sunday closes out with a spectacular double headliner featuring Janet Jackson and Lana Del Rey.
Beyond the marquee headliners, the entertainment schedule is packed. Fans can catch global DJs like Mark Ronson, ZHU, and Major Lazer Soundsystem lighting up the brand-new, dedicated electronic Barge Stage. Get the full concert and races timetable here.
With zero cancellations announced and an action-packed weekend on the track, the Singapore Grand Prix 2026 will be epic. Be sure to bring your N95 masks incase. Get our haze protection guide here.
