Presented by Galaxy Macau, these blockbuster shows have infused the city with vibrant energy, drawing tourists and locals alike for nights of music, laughter and spectacle.

From June 20 to July 6, Jacky Cheung, the king of Cantopop, made a triumphant return to Macau with his 60+ Concert Tour. Sponsored by FWD Insurance and held at Galaxy Arena, the city's largest indoor venue with a 16,000-seat capacity, the nine sold-out shows drew over 90,000 fans.

And from its immersive acoustics to its thoughtful seating design, the technical brilliance of the Galaxy Arena elevated the experience into something close to magical.
While Cheung was stirring hearts at Galaxy Arena, Jimmy O. Yang was bringing the house down just steps away at the 2,500-seat Broadway Theatre.

Known for his breakout roles in “Silicon Valley” and “Crazy Rich Asians”, Yang performed six sold-out stand-up shows between July 4 and 6 – his debut run in Macau.

O. Yang’s comedic genius lies in his ability to turn cultural clashes, immigrant experiences and personal anecdotes into punchlines that resonate across demographics.

What made his Macau shows special, however, was his bespoke approach. 

He peppered his routines with local references, Macanese wordplay and cultural observations tailored for the audience, drawing howls of laughter and standing ovations from the 13,000 fans who packed the theatre across the three days.

For many in attendance, O. Yang’s shows reflected modern identity, delivered with wit and relatability. The energy was electric, with laughter flowing as freely as the applause.

Adding to the high-octane entertainment line-up was the Australian male revue, Thunder from Down Under, which brought ten sizzling performances to the G Box immersive stage between June 27 and July 5.
 
Known for their athletic dance moves, charismatic stage presence and cheeky humour, the group added a spicy edge to the summer series.

While what Cheung and O. Yang offered are music and comedy, Thunder from Down Under brought the wow factor that appealed to a different demographic and reinforcing Galaxy Macau’s commitment to diverse entertainment programming.

And together, the three acts represented the full spectrum of live performance, drawing audiences from all walks of life. Their success is inextricably tied to the vision and scale of Galaxy Macau itself.
With a staggering HK$43bn investment and 1.1mn square metres of development, the integrated resort is home to nine world-class luxury hotels, including Banyan Tree Macau, The Ritz-Carlton, Macau, Raffles at Galaxy Macau and Capella at Galaxy Macau.

The resort further features the 75,000-square-metre Grand Resort Deck, a shopping promenade with over 200 brands, 120+ dining options and entertainment offerings including the Galaxy Cinemas and CHINA ROUGE lounge.

Galaxy Arena, Broadway Theatre and the intimate G-Box as state-of-the-art venues blend cutting-edge technology, refined design and professional service, making Galaxy Macau a premier destination for international performers and audiences.

This convergence of music, comedy and immersive experiences is turning Macau into a year-round cultural and entertainment hub.
