Every September sees Singapore abuzz with exhilaration for the Singapore Grand Prix.

The Podium Lounge

Expect the glitziest edition of The Podium Lounge this year with its 10th anniversary celebration. Founder Robbie Hoyes Cock promises that this year’s party will play host to “a record number of celebrities and Formula 1 drivers and legends”, on top of its regular prestigious clientele of royalty and supermodels. The trackside party’s entertainment lineup cements its reputation as the party of the century. While runway shows, live performers, and aerial performers suspended on silk are part of The Podium Lounge’s entertainment highlights, this year’s is taken up a notch with an Australian burlesque dance troupe specially flown in for the party, and headliners such as Taboo of the Black Eyed Peas, Keith Duffy from Boyzone and Brian McFadden from Westlife.
