Padang Stage, Marina Bay Street CircuitIf the first two nights of the 2023 Singapore Grand Prix concerts had contemporary stars such as Hong Kong-born idol Jackson Wang and American rapper-singer Post Malone at its flagship Padang stage, the third and final day focused on hit music from past decades.

These ranged from entertainment from Grammy-winning music acts like Kings Of Leon and Culture Club to cuisine from Michelin-starred chefs such as Dani Garcia, Yannick Alleno and Clare Smyth at the hospitality areas. As the sun set and temperatures became slightly more bearable, the audience became even more animated as the duo dropped banger after banger in a feel-good DJ set marked by frequent build-ups and beat drops.

Williams took the stage much later that night at 10.25pm, playing a massively entertaining set that took the 65,000-strong audience back to the 1990s and early 2000s. It was a return to the Singapore Grand Prix for the singer who also headlined the Padang stage in 2014. “They didn’t like me. They thought I was annoying, they thought I was lazy,” said the singer, who was dressed in a glittery top and shiny pants.
