Man charged after he allegedly trespassed into F1 Singapore Grand Prix event area

Daver Arish Adil, an Indian national, is accused of committing the offences on Oct 9.

The Singapore Grand Prix 2026 proved to be a memorable event beyond just Formula 1 action. The three-day festival showcased a diverse array of entertainment highlights that captured the attention of fans and celebrities alike. Despite the haze, the lively performances across all three days, from K-pop sensation Cortis to iconic acts like The Killers, Janet Jackson, and Lana Del Rey, made for an unforgettable experience.

Fans witnessed a diverse lineup of musicians and performers throughout the weekend. JJ Lin, a homegrown Mandopop star, headlined the first day's festivities with hit songs like "If Only" and "Careful With Fate." The Killers' Brandon Flowers delivered a brilliant performance on Day 2, captivating the audience with hits such as "Human" and "Mr Brightside."

The weekend concluded with Janet Jackson and Lana Del Rey closing out the Wharf Stage and Padang Stage, respectively. Jackson's performance was particularly notable, with her iconic collaboration with Michael Jackson adding a special touch to her already mesmerizing set.

In addition to the musical acts, the event featured celebrity appearances at the paddock and in pop-up events around the city. Notable attendees included French footballer Paul Pogba, former NBA stars Dwyane Wade and Chris Paul, model Romeo Beckham, and Chinese Olympic freestyle skiing champion Eileen Gu. Perhaps the most surprising celebrity sighting was American socialite-businesswoman Kim Kardashian, who flew in to support her boyfriend, Lewis Hamilton, during the event.

Fans of K-pop, in particular, had plenty of famous faces to look out for, including Sandara Park of 2NE1, Stray Kids members Bang Chan and Felix, Got7's BamBam, and Shinee's Minho. Additionally, Chinese actor Gong Jun and Taiwanese singer Jam Hsiao were spotted at various events, adding to the diverse and star-studded atmosphere of the festival.
