Galaxy Entertainment Group’s Galaxy Arena has officially renewed its strategic partnership with live events producer TMElive for an additional three years. Originally launched in 2023, this extension ensures that the momentum behind Galaxy Arena’s impressive event programming will continue well into the future.
This renewed agreement builds on Galaxy Arena’s pivotal role in revitalizing Macau’s cultural scene post‑pandemic. Hosting major events like the 2025 TMElive International Music Awards (TIMA) and the Tencent Music Entertainment Awards (TMEA) has elevated the venue’s status and the city’s reputation as a hub for world‑class performances.
While TIMA and TMEA will remain flagship events under this extension, the partnership broadens its scope to co‑host a range of entertainment formats. Galaxy Entertainment Group (GEG) and TMElive plan to collaborate on large‑scale concerts, music festivals, and immersive, culturally‑driven galas—bringing more diverse entertainment experiences to Macau.
Since opening in 2023, the 16,000‑seat Galaxy Arena has become a favourite among performers, organisers, and audiences alike. In just the first half of 2025, GEG reports having hosted nearly 190 events across the Arena and its adjacent Galaxy International Convention Center, drawing thousands of visitors from around the world.
Francis Lui, Chairman of GEG, spoke enthusiastically about the extended collaboration: “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’.”
The renewed partnership doesn’t just signify more concerts—it represents a sustained commitment to enriching Macau’s entertainment offerings, attracting broader audiences, and raising the entire region’s live entertainment production standards. For GEG, TMElive, and the city itself, the collaboration is a strategic win across tourism, culture, and business.
