Building on the collaboration’s initiation in 2023, the partnership has presented a variety of musical spectacles, drawing top-tier international entertainment to Macau. The cornerstone events of TIMA and TMEA have attracted top pop stars from Asia and the Pacific to Macau to engage in a series of musical keynote events, while receiving commendations for their contributions to the music industry. These musical extravaganzas have become tentpole annual events in the Macau calendar, underscoring its position as the “City of Performances”.

line-up
of
spectacular
performances,
presenting
25
groups
of
renowned
artists

across
the
world,

A-list

Thousands
of
fans
gathered
in
Macau
for
these
events,
pushing

the

empowering
Macau’s
evolution
to
a
diverse
economy
as
the
“City
of
Performances”.
Looking ahead, TIMA and TMEA will remain key highlights and a priority for Galaxy Arena under the renewed partnership, and the two parties are set 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. A new program will allow Tencent Music Entertainment Group’s online members to enjoy priority access to select, co-organized events. These initiatives aim to enrich Macau’s entertainment offerings, attract a broader audience, and raise the bar for live performance production in the region.
