Hanoi (VNA) - The Ruc ro Thang Long 2025 (Brilliant Thang Long 2025) New Year art programme, hosted by the Nam Tu Liem district People’s Committee, will not feature the planned drone light show.

According to the district, this decision comes after organisers reviewed logistics and practical conditions to ensure the programme’s success.

Initially, the event was to include a drone light display alongside a high-altitude fireworks show at midnight to welcome the Lunar New Year of the Snake. However, the drone performance has been canceled.

The programme promises a vibrant celebration featuring famous Vietnamese artists, such as Tung Duong, Thu Minh, Soobin Hoang Son, Ha Le, and Cuong Seven. A contemporary folk orchestra, led by conductor Dong Quang Vinh, will add a unique blend of traditional and modern New Year’s vibes.

Scheduled for the evening of January 28 (Lunar New Year’s Eve), the event will take place at My Dinh Square - My Dinh National Stadium in Hanoi./.
