CORTIS to perform at F1 Singapore Grand Prix 2026 as the only K-pop group on the lineup

CORTIS is the only K-pop group performing at the Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix 2026. Big Hit Music announced the booking on June 25.

The five-member group takes the stage October 9, opening day of the event, at Padang Stage — Marina Bay Circuit's main concert venue. The race weekend spans October 9–11. They'll share the bill with Janet Jackson, Singapore singer JJ Lin (린쥔지에), and French electronic musician DJ Snake.

The F1 Singapore Grand Prix bills itself as Asia's largest motorsports and entertainment event. Last year, F1 drew 6.7 million cumulative attendees across its 24-round global calendar.

The timing is sharp. Their second mini album GREENGREEN, released May 4, hit number 3 on the Billboard 200. February brought a headlining slot at the NBA Crossover Concert Series during NBA All-Star Week — first K-pop act to do it — which sold out. On June 20, they performed at Allo Bank Festival in Jakarta.

Singapore is just one stop in a relentless back half of the year. CORTIS plays Lollapalooza Chicago on July 31–August 1 (the only K-pop boy group on that lineup this year), then launches their first solo tour, the 2026 CORTIS TOUR, across Korea, North America, and Japan from July through September.
