Macao’s Hush Beach Concert and Urban Sports Wellfest are returning to Hac Sa Beach on 14 and 15 November, with the Cultural Affairs Bureau now calling for local bands, musicians, workshop instructors, themed music programme planners and art installation curators to apply by 18 June.

Jointly organised by the Cultural Affairs Bureau and MGM, the events blend pop music with sports and wellness activities across multiple stages.

The main beach stage Hot Wave will celebrate Macao’s coastal culture, while the lawn stage Music Chill offers a more relaxed atmosphere combining light music with mind-body experiences. A dedicated children’s stage will cater to families, and an Upbeat Power segment welcomes school and youth bands.

The Urban Sports Wellfest component offers a range of outdoor sports experiences for residents and visitors of all interests.

Beyond the main two-day event, a series of satellite activities will run across Macao’s districts and campuses from 1 to 16 November, including school visits, music workshops, themed music development programmes and art installations.

Now in its fourth year, the event continues to expand its reach by bridging live music, sports and lifestyle – supporting Macao’s integrated development of tourism, culture and sport, its organisers say.

Applications can be submitted here or on the Hush Full Music Facebook page. Enquiries can be directed to 8399 6820 in Chinese, or 8399 6824 in Portuguese and English, during office hours.
