Galaxy Entertainment Group has announced a three-year strategic cooperation agreement between its new 16,000 seat indoor arena, Galaxy Arena and music service TME Live to jointly organize an array of entertainment events at the venue.
According to details released on Monday, the agreement aims to promote the development of Macau’s culture and entertainment industry with performances to include both in-venue and online, including top-tier concert tours, music festivals, music ceremonies and more.
The partnership has already been responsible for the first stop of Chinese singer Cai Xukun’s 2023 concert tour at Galaxy Arena, which was not only the first global concert tour performance organized by TME Live over the past three years in Macau, but also saw Cai become the first Mandarin singer to perform at the recently opened venue.
Other events already in the pipeline as part of the partnership include the 4th Tencent Music Entertainment Awards (TMEA) ceremony, to be held at Galaxy Arena across two days, and an outdoor music festival featuring the likes of Cai Xukun, Jolin Tsai, Paul Wong, Tiger Hu, Young Jack, Show Wesugi, Allen Su, Lala Hsu, Xian Zi, Tia Ray, Nicholas Teo, Jane Zhan, Faye Zhan and Zhou Shen.
“To meet the overall needs of our visitors for a more diverse travel experience, we have been dedicated to introducing a wider range of music and entertainment elements in our integrated resort while striving to create more related facilities as attractions. One of these facilities is the all-new 16,000-seat Galaxy Arena,” said GEG Vice Chairman, Francis Lui.
“We will continue to fully utilize this world-class venue to present more spectacular performances and an endless array of exciting entertainment for both locals and tourists. We are thrilled to collaborate with TME Live, as we firmly believe that this partnership has immense potential in encouraging cultural exchange between Macau and the Mainland, creating synergies, enriching the travel and leisure experiences of Macau residents and tourists, and propelling Macau’s cultural and entertainment industry to new heights.”
Tsai-Chun Pan, Group Vice President of TME Content Cooperation Department, added, “For the past three years, TME Live has brought a diverse array of high-quality entertainment, both online and in real-life, to millions of music fans in China.
“Not only have we established a solid reputation through organizing and broadcasting more than a hundred concerts featuring artists such as Jay Chou, Cai Xukun, Andy Lau, and Rene Liu, but we also take pride in the huge success of the previous three editions of TMEA, which has gradually become an internationally renowned music extravaganza, enjoying widespread influence at home and abroad.
“Through this strategic partnership with Galaxy Arena, we are confident that we can bring music lovers a spectacular sonic feast for the eyes and the ears, promote extensive cultural exchange in the music industry, and continue to bring world-class Chinese music to an international fanbase.”
