8Wonder Summer 2025 stage nears completion, ready to welcome 50,000 fans

The "8Wonder Summer 2025: Moments of Wonder" music festival features a large-scale stage production with 1,000 LED lights, ensuring visibility from every seat, according to director Blone Nguyen.

Organized by Vingroup, 8Wonder Summer 2025: Moments of Wonder will take place at the National Exhibition Construction Center (Dong Anh, Hanoi) on the evening of 23/8, with an expected audience of 50,000. This is a large audience for a music event held in Vietnam, according to the organizers.

Director Blone Nguyen, who is helming the show, said the highlight of the concert is the fusion of Vietnamese identity and international music. Therefore, the stage area has seen significant investment in sound, lighting, and LED visuals, embodying a contemporary artistic spirit.

The organizers have arranged many large LED screens in the stage area so the audience can follow the performances from any location. The lighting system also has a large load capacity and its structure has been carefully calculated to ensure both effectiveness and safety.

The standing ticket areas, Independence 1, 2, 3, 4, and Freedom 1 and 2, are located directly in front of the stage, allowing fans to not only see their idols up close but also have the opportunity to interact with them.

Workers are completing the final steps of installing seats. The seats in the Extraordinary section are tiered to ensure the audience has a viewing experience comparable to those closer to the stage.

The Happiness section has the highest ticket prices, ranging from 8 to 10 million VND, with exclusive perks such as prime viewing locations, a dedicated check-in area, and gift sets from the organizers.

8Wonder: Moments of Wonder brings together four international stars: DJ Snake, J Balvin, The Kid LAROI, and DPR IAN, along with famous Vietnamese artists. Each artist has different requirements. Blone Nguyen said that to meet the performance conditions of the international stars, the organizers had to work and discuss for a month before the event.

The organizers had to arrange a DJ table for J Balvin that met stringent criteria. Meanwhile, The Kid LAROI's team brought all their own equipment to Vietnam to ensure the system was to their liking. For DJ Snake, his set needs to deliver an effect similar to an international festival.

"To create a synergy between Vietnamese culture and globalization according to international standards, the concert will feature a collaboration between Tlinh and a famous international star, bringing a special fusion," director Blone Nguyen revealed.

The organizers of 8Wonder Summer 2025: Moments of Wonder highlight the message "Where Local Beats Become Global Wonders," creating opportunities for Vietnamese artists to showcase their identity and creativity on the same stage as international stars. Check-in for the event begins at 8 a.m. on 23/8.

According to Vingroup, the event is part of a series of activities celebrating the 80th anniversary of National Day, contributing to affirming Vietnam's position as a leading festival and entertainment destination in the region. "We want to honor the strong Vietnamese spirit and the desire to reach further; to bring Vietnamese culture to the world," a representative of the organizers said.
