In recent times, large-scale concerts have been continuously held in Vietnam. Not only concerts by international artists, but many concerts by Vietnamese artists have also taken place enthusiastically.
The 3 sold-out shows that took place on the evening of October 19th are proof (2 "brother" concerts and 1 show "Hoi - thuan - hoi").
Both "older brother" concerts were sold out even though they took place on the same day.
On the evening of October 19, the concert "Brother overcomes thousands of obstacles" was held in Ho Chi Minh City.
Previously, the organizers announced that 20,000 tickets were sold out in just 90 minutes of opening. Sharing with reporters about the sold-out concert "Anh trai vu ngan cong gai", director Dinh Ha Uyen Thu said: "I didn't think the audience loved the concert so much. At first, I only thought that the tickets would be sold out, but it would take several days for them to sell out. But I was surprised that the tickets were sold out in just a few dozen minutes."
In parallel, the concert "Anh trai say hi" was held at the same time on October 19 with an equally large audience. It is worth mentioning that this is the second concert of "Anh trai say hi", but it still attracts enthusiastic audiences. Before that, on September 28, the first concert "Anh trai say hi" held in Ho Chi Minh City created a fever with nearly 15,000 seats. On international forums, many Koreans expressed surprise at the appeal of a large-scale concert in Vietnam.
From the concerts of the 2 "brother" shows, the audience is reminded of Blackpink's BornPink concert taking place in Hanoi in 2023.
At that time, Blackpink held two concerts on July 29 and 30, 2020, with more than 30,000 spectators each night. The audience at Blackpink's concert was not only Vietnamese fans but also many spectators from countries such as Thailand, Indonesia, Singapore... who came to travel and watch the concert.
As for the concerts of "Anh trai vuon ngan cong gai" and "Anh trai say hi" recently with almost all domestic audiences, it shows that Vietnamese audiences also love the concerts of domestic singers as much as the concerts of international stars like Blackpink.
From "giant" international concerts like Blackpink's BornPink to "purely Vietnamese" concerts like "Anh trai vu ngan cong gai" and "Anh trai say hi", Vietnamese audiences are gradually forming the habit of supporting and being proud of domestic artists, while also showing their willingness to spend money to see the concerts they love.
"Purely Vietnamese" concert is winning the hearts of domestic audiences
In recent years, the trend of attending concerts of domestic artists has become a popular phenomenon among young people.
If in July 2023, Blackpink's tour in Hanoi was likened to quenching the audience's "thirst" for the entertainment market that was stagnant after the COVID-19 pandemic, concerts like the two shows "brother" did are showing that the Vietnamese entertainment market is not only recovering well, but is also creating a potential trend to develop concerts of Vietnamese artists.
That also creates conditions for Vietnamese organizers to boldly hold larger-scale concerts, and not hesitate to hold them a second or third time if ticket sales are good. That is also the reason why the concerts "Anh trai vuon ngan cong gai" and "Anh trai say hi" both held concerts in Hanoi after successfully holding them in Ho Chi Minh City.
As one of the talents of "Anh trai vu ngan chong gai", Tien Dat shared with reporters: "The fact that the audience loves domestic concerts, especially the concert "Anh trai vu ngan chong gai" shows that the audience loves Vietnamese music and artists no less than international artists. That makes me very happy".
In an interview with reporters, director of million views Huynh Phuc Thanh Nhan gave his opinion: "Previously, concerts gathering tens of thousands of people only happened once a year on countdown. Later, the frequency increased. At the peak on the night of October 19, there were 3 places holding concerts, of which "Anh trai say hi" held the second time.
To have concert nights like that, it requires communication, PR, social networks... not just limited to the program format. Of course, the artists and music must still be the key hook (main factor) to keep the audience engaged."
