BINI, Lola Amour and Free OPM Nights Headline October for Filipinos in Singapore
Filipinos in Singapore have a packed October 2026, headlined by BINI's Signals World Tour at Expo on 25 October and Lola Amour's Grand Prix race-day set on 11 October. Free OPM nights run every Thursday at MarketPlace @ Expo, alongside a free Embassy agribusiness forum and a car-free Joo Chiat street party.
October 2026 is a busy month for kababayans in Singapore, with Filipino acts on major stages and free community events across the island. The biggest draw is BINI's Signals World Tour at the Arena @ EXPO on Sunday 25 October, with tickets from S$108. The same day, the Philippine Embassy runs its free Usapang Agribiz forum at JEN Tanglin, though attendees must register first.
Race weekend brings a Filipino presence to the Formula 1 Singapore Airlines Singapore Grand Prix. Lola Amour, the Manila band behind 'Raining in Manila', play the DBS Foundation Outdoor Theatre at Esplanade at 4.30pm on Sunday 11 October, inside Zone 4 of the circuit park, and they are the only Filipino act on the Grand Prix bill. According to the Singapore Tourism Board's Grand Prix Season guide, the race weekend runs 9 to 11 October as part of a 10-day citywide celebration, so attendees should check their zone access before going, as roads around Marina Bay close for days and bag checks run long.
For a free weekly option, Filipina singer Donna fronts the Good Vibes Band every Thursday from 7.30pm at MarketPlace @ Expo, outside Hall 5 at Singapore Expo, singing OPM favourites and taking requests, with Iskina Cebu serving Filipino food on site. Expo MRT is a short walk away.
Other picks include the free Joo Chiat car-free day street party on Saturday 3 October, with more than 80 local merchants, live music and a pet zone from 3.30pm to 9.30pm, and the National Museum of Singapore's reopened Singapore History Gallery from 10 October, free for citizens and PRs and from S$20 for other adults. One change to note: Tanya Markova's 4 October show is postponed with no new date set, so ticket holders should watch the ticket page for refund news.
