Interested residents can follow official announcements from the organising committee for details of ticket distribution and schedules.

The concert will last up to 120 minutes and is expected to attract around 50,000 people. It will feature a combination of traditional and contemporary arts, modern stage technology and fireworks displays at intervals throughout the event and at its conclusion.

The concert will be broadcast live on Vietnam Television (VTV). Hanoi Radio and Television will also carry the live broadcast on its channels and digital platforms, while installing LED screens in areas far from the city centre to enable more residents to watch.
