On the afternoon of August 17, Nhan Dan Newspaper and Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee announced that the political art program "Fatherland in the Heart" 2026 will take place at 8:00 PM on August 23rd at Van Phuc City Urban Area. This is the second season of the program, after the first season at My Dinh National Stadium in 2025 attracted more than 50,000 spectators.
Continuing the spirit of the first season, all tickets to participate in "Fatherland in the Heart" 2026 are distributed free of charge. Mr. Le Quoc Minh - Member of the Party Central Committee, Editor-in-Chief of Nhan Dan Newspaper, Chairman of the Vietnam Journalists Association said that the heat of this year's program has increased significantly, with more than 5.7 million requests to access and register tickets online and all free tickets have been issued in just 1 minute 27 seconds of opening.
A detail that continues to be preserved from the first season is the back of the ticket printed with a handwritten copy of the song "Tien Quan Ca" by musician Van Cao. The ticket is therefore positioned as a keepsake instead of simply a door ticket.
Fatherland in the Heart" 2026 also gathers a cast of artists from many generations such as Meritorious Artist Cao Minh, Meritorious Artist Dang Duong, Tung Duong, SOOBIN, Noo Phuoc Thinh, Hoa Minzy, Huong Tram, Hoang Bach, Vo Ha Tram, Dong Hung, Lam Bao Ngoc, promising to bring a grand artistic experience to the audience.
The program also has the participation of many teams of the People's Army and People's Police, including officers, female guerrillas from the South and peacekeeping forces.
The V-shaped stage, one of the visual imprints of the program, continues to be developed on a larger scale. The main stage system is 124m long, 68m deep, and the structure system is 30m high, of which the V-shaped block in the center is the highest point. Another new point is that the program space is not limited to Van Phuc City. Nguyen Hue Pedestrian Street area will have a "Patriotic Fandom" space with giao lưu, photography and experience activities for the public.
With elaborate investment, "Fatherland in the Heart" is oriented to become a national cultural and artistic IP. After the first season, the program was developed into a concert film screened in the cinema system, expanding the life of the product beyond just one night's performance.
