The entertainment lineup for the 2026 Formula 1 Singapore Airlines Singapore Grand Prix race in Marina Bay, Singapore is stacked. The main stage acts for the event slated to take place from Oct. 9-11 include the Goo Goo Dolls, Split Enz and an F1 Drivers’ Fan Forum where fans can catch the drivers on the Wharf Stage on the first two days.

The General Stage will host DJ Snake, Major Lazer Soundsystem, Tokimonsta, Run-DMC’s Rev Run, Mark Ronson, a DJ set from Australian electronic house duo Flight Facilities and Zhu.

In an Instagram post announcing the lineup, organizers said the lineup for the main Padang Stage and Zone 4 acts will be announced soon. “From high-octane track action with F1, F1 Sprint and Porsche Carrera Cup Asia to back-to-back international DJ sets at an all-new Barge Stage, a Zone 1 ticket unlocks the best of racing and entertainment across the Circuit Park 🙌🏼,” read another post revealing the lineup.

Limited three-day and single-day tickets are now available at singaporegp.sg.

“The F1 Sprint race sets the tone for a thrilling Formula 1 Singapore Airlines Singapore Grand Prix 2026 weekend. Building on the excitement on track, we are raising the tempo with a multi-genre line-up featuring some of the biggest names in entertainment, including high-calibre DJs that have headlined EDM festivals around the world,” said Adam Firth, executive director of Singapore GP Pte Ltd. in a statement. “The artist line-up for the Padang Stage is progressing well and will be announced shortly, as we complete a jam-packed race weekend festival that extends well beyond the track.”

Last year’s lineup featured the Foo Fighters booking their first gig of 2025, headlining the Padang Stage alongside DJ/producer Alan Walker at the event that also featured South Korean rapper/singers CL and G-Dragon, Indonesian pop singer Putri Ariani and Singapore pop group Oakë, as well as Crowded House, Babymetal, The Lathums, U.K. singer Tom Grennan, Elton John, the Smashing Pumpkins and Wombats.

Soft, loud, soft. Mogwai’s irrepressible wall of sound has been wailing out of amplifiers for three decades, unbowed, undented by fluctuations in pop culture. Undefeated. The Scottish post-rockers are a sonic force of nature, a swirling hurricane of guitars. Sometimes heavy, sometimes not. Soft, loud, soft.

Formed in Glasgow back in 1995, the four-piece stopped by the Sydney Opera House last weekend for the ultimate 30^th birthday bash (well, 31 now, but who’s counting).

From the very start, Mogwai has been independent. DIY, even. “Once in a while” the major music companies would come knocking, frontman Stuart Braithwaite tells Billboard backstage ahead of the concert, a production for Vivid LIVE. “Yeah, well,” he points out, “we are completely indie, you know.”

Mogwai owns, operates and releases its music through the Glasgow-based Rock Action Records. That label, like the band, was established in the mid-1990s and remains fiercely independent. Today, it’s home to a diverse roster of artists, including Arab Strap, The Twilight Sad, Kathryn Joseph, Cloth, Sacred Paws, Errors and Remember Remember. For North America, the band’s music is released through the Brooklyn-based independent label Temporary Residence.

The band flexed those indie muscles with a show Saturday, May 23, at the Concert Hall within the iconic SOH. Mogwai is mostly instrumental, mostly guitars. With a setlist featuring “Yes! I Am a Long Way From Home,” “Ritchie Sacramento,” “Auto Rock” and the blistering encore “Mogwai Fear Satan,” and playing against a backdrop of an all-purpose ridge, Mogwai reels the house in, fixes them in a trance.

On this occasion, Braithwaite is the only bandmate who chats with the crowd. His banter rarely rises above a “thank-you so much. Cheers.” Mogwai let their respective instruments do the talking. On stage left, a Palestine flag tacked to a Marshall stack. A “soft loud soft” political statement.

Before the sonic chaos and subtlety, Braithwaite reflects on his career highlights. And of lessons learned. He’s reminded of the late Lou Reed, who in 2010, staged “Music for Dogs” on the steps of the Sydney Opera House. “That’s quite a painful memory for me because he actually asked us to come and play with them,” he recounts. “We didn’t do it, and then he died. To be honest, it was a teaching moment, as they say. Because I think anytime we get opportunities like that, we always really take them because you don’t want to miss out. Especially with older (artists) because you don’t know how long they’re going to be around.”

Braithwaite’s tracksuit has touches of green, a nod to his beloved Glasgow Celtic soccer club, which, some hours later, would complete the “double” by winning the Scottish Cup against Dunfermline Athletic, by a scoreline of 3-1. Mogwai had a massive win, too, during the pandemic. The band scored their first No. 1 on the Official U.K. Albums Chart in Feb. 2021 with As The Love Continues, their tenth studio LP.

“Yeah, that was crazy,” he remember. “When I got the first chart through, I thought it was like the Scottish chart or the vinyl chart or something. Someone was like, ‘no, that’s the real chart. I was like ‘wow.’”

All up, they’ve collected 11 appearances on the U.K. top 40 albums chart, including four top 10s, most recently with 2025’s The Bad Fire, which peaked at No. 5. But a No. 1? “That was really cool. It wasn’t even a dream come true because I don’t think any of us had dreamed about it. It was just this insane thing to happen.”

There are no immediate plans to release a 12^th studio album, not this year. Or cut a soundtrack. “I’ve also got nothing to do next year, so yeah, I need to think of something,” he quips. For the months ahead, Braithwaite and his bandmates (bassist Dominic Aitchison, drummer Martin Bulloch, and multi-instrumentalist Barry Burns) are soaking up their extended birthday party, which includes festival spots across the U.K., Europe and Japan’s Fuji Rock.

“That’s one thing about the anniversary is (we’re) just really grateful that people are still coming to see us and want to hear our music. And yeah, it’s pretty insane after a really long time,” Braithwaite continues. “And to get younger generations (to come along) as well. People that maybe, definitely, weren’t even born when we started the band. Anyone under the age of 30, yeah, they weren’t born when we started the band.”

Vivid LIVE is the annual contemporary music centerpiece of the Sydney Opera House, and part of the broader Vivid Sydney festival, which runs through June 13. Vivid Sydney is owned, managed and produced by the New South Wales government, Destination NSW and Feel New Sydney.

Summer can be unpredictable, especially when it comes to your hair. The heat and humidity can transform your hair from straight to frizzy, but a good blow dryer can save the day, especially in an unexpected hair emergency.

When it comes to the best hair dryers, we like Dyson’s Supersonic Nural, which the brand says is it’s “most intelligent” hair dryer yet. Released in 2024, the 10-inch hair dryer is still one of our daily go-tos, thanks to features like sensor technology that reduces heat damage and a slew of “new and improved” attachments, including a gentle air attachment, styling concentrator, wave and curl diffuser, wide tooth comb and flyaway attachment. Don’t just take our word for it: Beyonce has been seen using the Dyson Nural too.

Right now, you can get the Dyson Supersonic Nural Hair Dryer for $100 off — the cheapest price we’ve seen all year. Dyson rarely discounts its products so this is a deal you’ll want to take advantage of.

---

What you’ll like this: the Dyson hair dryer is equipped with sensors that automatically reduce heat as the Nural gets close to your head, and a scalp protection mode automatically reduces the heat to 131-degrees, an “optimum temperature for scalp comfort and drying speed,” per Dyson.

Depending on how close it is to your hair, the Nural’s LED lights will adjust from yellow (low heat) to orange (medium heat) or red (high heat) when in Scalp Protect mode.

I tested the Dyson’s Supersonic Nural hair dryer during a trip overseas, and it came in handy when my flat iron failed the vibe check. It’s surprisingly lightweight, not too bulky or loud, and works rather quickly. My hair was silky smooth and felt healthier — not fried.

Another bonus: the Nural is smooth to the touch and has a motion sensor that turns the blow dryer off when you put it down. Plus, it’s compact enough to throw in your luggage and take on summer vacation.

The Dyson Nural Supersonic hair dryer is available in multiple colors online at Amazon but the “amber silk” colorway is the one with the current $100 discount. Don’t wait long though as Amazon pricing could change at any time, so we recommend adding this Dyson to cart while the sale is still live. See more details here.

Kid Cudi has long been open about his mental health struggles, and being open about his battles over the years helped a generation of millennial hip-hop fans along the way.

With all of the experience he’s gained along his journey, Cudi is joining the movement We Are Enough as a founding partner, the organization announced Thursday (May 28), in the midst of Mental Health Awareness Month. We Are Enough is an initiative launched to remove the stigma surrounding mental health and benefit those struggling.

“Been open about my struggles for years — I know what it’s like to be in that dark place,” said
Kid Cudi in a statement. “That’s why I’m excited to be a founding member of We Are Enough — a reminder that we already enough, just as we are. 100 percent of proceeds go straight to nonprofits doing the real work on the ground for mental health.”

To kick off the partnership, everyone in attendance of Cudi’s NYC show of his Rebel Ragers Tour at Madison Square Garden on Saturday night (May 30) will receive a We Are Enough bracelet.

We Are Enough was founded by entrepreneur Blake Mycoskie, who faced his own mental health struggles while battling depression, which led him to creating the initiative. Mycoskie is best known for building TOMS into a global footwear brand.

According to the organization’s website, We Are Enough’s mission is to “spread reminders in every form — bracelets, messages, actions, community — until feeling ENOUGH becomes the cultural default.” The organization will donate 100 percent of profits toward benefiting mental health initiatives.

The “Pursuit of Happiness” rapper’s Rebel Ragers Tour started in April and comes to MSG on Saturday, before heading to Camden, N.J.; Hartford, Conn.; Mansfield, Mass., and Bangor, Maine, to kick off the first week of June.

The Australian Recording Industry Association’s special 40^th anniversary Hall of Fame event has a special broadcast home.

Presented Thursday, June 11 in Sydney, the special standalone event will air nationally on the Australian Broadcasting Corporation at 9.15pm AEST (5.15am ET), in what the trade body describes as an “historic first.” The show will then beam out Saturday, June 13 on the free-to-air television channel and digital live stream ABC Entertains and via the public broadcaster’s on-demand iView platform. Separately, show highlights and red carpet moments will be available across ARIA and ABC social channels.

As previously reported, the 2026 edition will break from tradition and induct six acts in total: Gurrumul, Jenny Morris, Kate Ceberano, Spiderbait, The Living End and Vika & Linda. 

ARIA has inducted artists into its Hall since 1988. That first class featured Dame Joan Sutherland, Johnny O’Keefe, Slim Dusty, Col Joye, Vanda & Young and AC/DC. In 2005, the trade body created a standalone ceremony ARIA Icons: Hall of Fame, when multiple acts were elevated. It was televised, it resonated with music fans, but proved short-lived as the industry struggled in a post-digital download landscape.

For 2011, the Hall of Fame induction became a spot within the ARIA Music Awards, with two new inductees. Then, from 2012, just one act has been inducted each year at the ARIAs.

Since that first class, scores of Aussie legends have got the nod, from Cold Chisel, to Kylie Minogue, Yothu Yindi, Kasey Chambers, Olivia Newton John, INXS, Crowded House, Archie Roach, Missy Higgins, Tina Arena, and last year’s inductee, You Am I.

Also announced today, May 27, Kate Ceberano, Spiderbait, The Living End, Vika & Linda, Kate-Miller Heidke, Dan Sultan and Mia Wray will perform career-defining hits at the ceremony, organizers say, while the late Gurrumul will be remembered with “a moving celebration” with family members.

Veteran broadcaster and music champion Myf Warhurst is host of the show, to be presented at Sydney’s Carriageworks on Gadigal land. “To be part of the 40th anniversary ARIA Hall of Fame is incredibly special,” Warhurst comments in a statement.

“These artists have shaped Australian culture, soundtracked generations and influenced how we see ourselves through music,” she continues. “From the power and emotion of Gurrumul, to the energy of Spiderbait and The Living End, and the iconic voices of Kate Ceberano, Jenny Morris and Vika & Linda, this is a line-up that truly reflects the depth and brilliance of Australian music. It’s going to be loud, joyful and full of unforgettable moments – exactly what the Hall of Fame should be.”

The ARIA Hall of Fame Special Event is supported by the NSW Government through Sound NSW, and assisted by the Australian Government through the Office for the Arts and Music Australia.

Meanwhile, the 2026 ARIA Awards in partnership with Spotify be presented Wednesday, Nov. 18 at Sydney’s Hordern Pavilion. The recording industry’s flagship ceremony will stream live on Paramount+ and returns to the free-to-air commercial broadcaster Network 10.
