SINGAPORE - When American rock band Green Day closed out the Formula 1 Singapore Airlines Singapore Grand Prix 2022 with a blistering set at the Padang on Sunday, they played to the biggest concert audience in Singapore in three years.saw massive crowds not seenThe headliners playing the final set there over the three days pulled in huge numbers - 65,000 for Green Day, 60,000 for Irish boy band Westlife on Saturday and 50,000 for American DJ-producer Marshmello on Friday.
This year's F1 entertainment offerings featured more than 40 artistes from all over the world, including Singapore. Mainstream pop fans sang along to global stars such as Black Eyed Peas, who played two sets, at the Padang on Saturday, and on the smaller Wharf Stage at the other end of the Circuit Park on Sunday.
On Sunday, despite the heavy downpour, fans danced and sang along to Australian singer-rapper The Kid Laroi at the Padang and Black Eyed Peas' Wharf Stage performance. The rain on Saturday delayed slightly American R&B stars TLC's set on the Wharf Stage.Green Day's high-energy set was much welcomed by their fans. The band had previously cancelled two gigs here - in 2020 and 2021 - due to the pandemic.
While many of the music stars in this year's line-up were established acts who made their name in the 1990s and early 2000s, it also included rising musicians. Mr Agrim Singh, however, said he prefers the"stronger" range of popular and contemporary headliners at previous Singapore Grand Prix races."I think the headline acts this year are decent but not what I expected, given the two-year absence," said the co-founder of a Web3 company.
