Here is the full lineup that has been released thus far:

Sir Elton John performed for his largest crowd since stepping away from touring in 2023, taking the stage at the 2025 Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix.

The 78-year-old icon was in top form as he delivered a spectacular 90-minute performance at Marina Bay Street Circuit on Sunday (05.10.25), just after British Mercedes driver George Russell claimed victory.

Over 70,000 people filled The Padang stage area to enjoy a 16-song set packed with timeless favorites like Saturday Night’s Alright For Fighting, Bennie And The Jets, Tiny Dancer, Rocket Man, and I’m Still Standing.

It was Elton’s biggest live appearance since finishing his historic Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour two years earlier.

In the time since, Elton has faced challenges with his eyesight, but he refuses to let that slow him down.

The Your Song star, who ended his touring career to focus on family life with his husband David Furnish and their sons Zachary, 14, and Elijah, 12, suffered a serious eye infection last July that left him blind in his right eye and with limited sight in his left.

He told The Times in April, “It’s upsetting. You feel emotional, but you have to accept it because I’m fortunate to have the life I do. I still have my wonderful family, and I can still see a bit out of here [left eye], so you just tell yourself to carry on.”

Speaking earlier about his struggle with vision loss, Elton shared with The Guardian, “I’m always an optimist. My eyesight isn’t great right now. There are days when I feel down, but then I remind myself how lucky I am. I’ve gained a new admiration for people living with sight loss, but I’ve got a good life and hope my vision gets better. I’ve overcome addiction, health problems, and I always find a way to stand up and move forward.”
