Macau’s casino resorts are scheduled to host over 60 shows during the fourth quarter (October–December) of 2025, according to GGRAsia’s tally. This marks a notable decline from the nearly 100 offerings staged across Macau properties in the third quarter—reflecting both scheduling pullbacks and shifts in priority amid major national events.
Broken down by month, the planned shows are 22 in October, 25 in November, and 19 in December. Galaxy Entertainment leads the pack, having lined up 44 events across its venues in Cotai, including five in the 16,000-seat Galaxy Arena. The remainder of Galaxy’s program spans smaller venues like Galaxy Auditorium, G Box at Galaxy Macau, and Broadway Theatre in the Broadway Macau complex.
Sands China is contributing at least 16 shows during the quarter, mostly concerts at large venues such as Venetian Arena and the Londoner Arena. Its lineup includes two performances by Thai artist PP Krit at Venetian Arena, plus shows by mandopop and Cantopop stars such as Alan Tam, Eric Moo, Wakin Chau, and Grasshopper across both its arena and theater formats.
Other operators — including Melco’s Studio City, SJM’s Grand Lisboa Palace, MGM Macau, and MGM Cotai — are also participating with smaller concert and music event offerings through October and November. However, the overall drop in shows reflects an industry pivot: Macau is co-hosting China’s 15th National Games (with Hong Kong and Guangdong), and many of its resort venues (e.g. Galaxy Arena, Wynn Palace Lawn, Venetian, etc.) will be used for sports events and associated fixtures.
The relative decline in entertainment programming suggests that Macau’s casino operators are temporarily shifting capacity away from non-gaming spectacles toward accommodative roles for national events. Once the games conclude, many expect the show calendar to rebound, especially as operators continue pushing to bolster non-gaming attractions under their new concession mandates.
