Galaxy Entertainment Group’s Galaxy Arena has renewed by a further three years its strategic partnership with live events company TMElive, aiming to further build on the high-profile array of entertainment offerings that have contributed to Macau’s post-pandemic recovery.
In its announcement, GEG said that its recent concert line-up, including the 2025 TMElive International Music Awards (TIMA) and 2025 Tencent Music Entertainment Awards (TMEA) held last weekend, had become important events in the Macau calendar, underscoring its position as the “City of Performances”.
Other A-list concerts such as G-Dragon, BLACKPINK and Jacky Cheung had attracted thousands of fans gathered to Macau, pushing forward the development of “Tourism + Entertainment” and fostering business opportunities for local independent operators, the company added.
Under the renewed partnership with TMElive, GEG said that TIMA and TMEA will remain key highlights and a priority for Galaxy Arena, while the two parties plan to co-host a wider array of music performances – including large-scale concerts, music festivals and celebratory ceremonies – leading to more immersive and culturally-focused galas.
The renewed agreement will also facilitate more trademark performances, it explained, with the aim of enriching Macau’s entertainment offerings, attracting a broader audience and raising the bar for live performance production in the region.
“Since opening in 2023, our 16,000-seat Galaxy Arena has become a favorite among show organizers, performers and audiences alike,” said GEG Chairman Francis Lui.
“In the first half of 2025 alone, we hosted close to 190 events at Galaxy Arena and the adjacent Galaxy International Convention Center, welcoming thousands of attendees from around the world. We’re excited to continue our partnership with TMElive, which has proven to be a powerful driver of cultural exchange, tourism, and entertainment in Macau.
“Together, we’re moving closer to our vision of establishing Galaxy Macau as Asia’s leading entertainment hub, underscoring Macau’s important role as a ‘City of Performances’.”
Macau’s rising presence in the entertainment sector has been credited with helping drive gross gaming revenues over the past 18 months, while GEG itself earlier this month credited the company’s high-profile events calendar for driving a notable improvement in both revenues and Macau market share for the first six months of 2025, including an all-time daily record for foot traffic at Galaxy Macau.
