British rock icons Queen, fronted by American singer Adam Lambert, and Australian pop star Kylie Minogue are some of the acts that have been confirmed for the 2016 Formula 1 Singapore Airlines Singapore Grand Prix.
Performing at various stages within the Marina Bay Street Circuit from Sept 16 to 18, the other acts that have been announced are British pop-rock band Bastille, American a cappella stars Pentatonix and veteran funk-pop American outfit KC And The Sunshine Band.
It will be the first gig here for Queen, known for anthemic rock songs such as Bohemian Rhapsody, We Will Rock You and We Are The Champions, originally sung by their charismatic singer Freddie Mercury who died in 1991. Former American Idol contestant Lambert started singing with the group in 2011. They will headline the main Padang stage (Zone 4) on the second night, Sept 17.
Multi-award-winning Minogue is one of Australia's most successful pop singers with a string of hits from the bubblegum pop of I Should Be So Lucky to dance hit Can't Get You Out Of My Head. She last played a full concert here at the Singapore Indoor Stadium in 2011 and will headline the Padang stage on the first night, Sept 16.
Bastille, whose debut album Bad Blood went to No. 1 in Britain, will perform at the Padang Stage on Sept 17. They last played here at The Coliseum, Hard Rock Hotel, last year .
Grammy-winners Pentatonix, one of the most popular music acts on YouTube, perform at the Village Stage (Zone 1) on Sept 17. They last played here at The Star Theatre last year.
KC And The Sunshine Band, known for evergreen party hits such as That's The Way (I Like It) and (Shake, Shake, Shake) Shake Your Booty, will play at the Village Stage on Sept 16.
More acts, including the Sunday night Padang stage headliner, will be announced in the coming weeks. The list of acts this year continues the Singapore Grand Prix tradition of bringing in crowd-pullers at its multiple stages, which draw up 50,000 a night, making them some of the biggest concerts held in Singapore. Past headliners include American rock veterans Bon Jovi last year, pop prince Justin Bieber in 2013 and pop star Katy Perry in 2012.
Tickets start from $38, a promotional price for Singaporeans and Singapore residents and only sold over the counter at Sistic outlets for a Zone 4 (Padang Stage) walkabout ticket for the first night, Sept 16. Regular tickets start from $78 and can be bought online at www.singaporegp.sg.
QUEEN + ADAM LAMBERT UK/US
Only show in Sweden
FESTIVAL STAGE, THURSDAY 9 JUNE, 22:15
Few bands in music history can be called unique. Queen is one of those few. In 1973-91 they gave the world a mixture of hard rock, progressive rock, pop, showtunes... virtually everything. And became monumentally successful in the process. Not just the band, but an entire era expired with frontman Freddie Mercury in 1991.
In 2005, Queen's guitarist Brian May and drummer Roger Taylor, who played together since before Queen even existed, began a first world tour with the constellation Queen + Paul Rodgers. This was a great success, followed by a studio album and another worls tour in 2008. In 2011, the time had come to once more add new blood to the Queen family. The young, and stupendously talented Adam Lambert was discovered on "American Idol" in 2009, and got to know Brian and Roger as well. They hit it off, to put it mildly.
These last few years, the constellation Queen + Adam Lambert has toured the world with astounding success, performing the immortal Queen classics. "Another One Bites The Dust", "We Are The Champions", "We Will Rock You", "Tie Your Mother Down"... to name but a very few. Now they will also be arriving at SRF 2016. We are lost for words to describe how extraordinary that is. A phrase like "the highlight of the festival" feels painfully inadequate. More: SWEDEN ROCK

Obviously, there can never be another Freddie Mercury. But Adam Lambert is inspiring a new generation of Queen...
