Accordingly, international artists come from Korea, Thailand, Spain and England.
The second night of the festival is themed "Maze by The World", continuing the spirit of connecting Vietnamese music with international music flows. Music director Huy Tuan called this music night "SOOBIN welcoming international guests", when the male singer played the role of representative of Vietnamese artists in the program with the participation of many foreign artists.
According to the organizers, inviting artists from countries and genres that are not popular with Vietnamese audiences is the consistent intention of HOZO City Tet Fest. Through this, the festival wishes to bring a diverse musical picture, expanding the enjoyment experience for the public.
During the show, the Hyang band (Korea) brought pop-mixed alternative rock songs with moderate, emotional rhythms. The Dadada band - also from Korea - performed a series of rock'n' roll songs mixed with jazz, country and pop-punk, reflecting the everyday stories of young people.
Representing from Spain, Kumbia Boruka stirred up the space with Mexican cumbia music combining reggae, dub and tropical music. Caleb Kunle (UK) brought songs with soul, funk, afrobeat and folk colors. Before coming to Vietnam, Caleb Kunle had performed many times at major music festivals in Europe, including Glastonbury.
Indie artist WIM from Thailand performs a series of R&B and indie-pop songs such as Supernova, Magic, Snack & Wine. WIM's music creates a gentle atmosphere, contrasting with previous energetic performances.
As the last artist to appear, SOOBIN attracted a large audience approaching the stage area. Previously, with the characteristics of an open stage on the riverbank, many audiences chose to stand and watch from afar or move between spaces in the festival grounds.
SOOBIN brought a set of performances including both ballads and dance and R&B songs. He performed Dancing in the dark, Xin dung lang im, Blackjack, Heyyy, Daydreams... Some ballad songs were remixed in a more vibrant direction to suit the outdoor festival atmosphere.
In his performance, SOOBIN spent time interacting with the audience, going down to the area below the stage to interact directly. The audience repeatedly shouted his name throughout the performance.
Speaking on stage, MC Tung Leo said that "Maze by The World" does not set a goal to compare music backgrounds, but to create space for Vietnamese and international artists to stand side by side, share and blend with music.
Closing the show with a performance by SOOBIN, HOZO City Tet Fest 2025 continues to emphasize the message of connection and dialogue, when Vietnamese music is placed in a context of direct exchange with many musical colors from the world.
