His set included the live debut of his English-language single “RISE WITHOUT A SOUND.” Lin also said he included snippets from his upcoming 2027 album, describing the performance as a miniature sequel to his JJ20 Tour.
Tia Ray performed songs including “Love Herby” and “Beautiful Day.” Lil Ghost presented material from his new album “KUI,” including the world live premiere of “Wild Card,” with a full band.

Tencent Music outlines international-stage plans
TME framed its involvement as a way to connect Chinese-language musicians with international audiences and help event partners reach music fans in China. The announcement described artist support and collaboration rather than a newly quantified commercial agreement.
The company said it intends to deepen its relationship with the Singapore Grand Prix and pursue further global collaborations. It did not disclose the cost of its involvement, revenue generated by the performances or a schedule for additional events.
That leaves the confirmed development centered on artist promotion and international exposure, rather than a measurable change in TME’s financial performance.
Conclusion
The performances give TME a completed international showcase for its artist-support efforts. The next step to watch is how the company implements its stated plans for further collaborations; no additional event dates were announced.
