Thirty-three artists performed in the first Anh trai vuot ngan chong gai 2026 concert in Ho Chi Minh City on October 17.
VnExpress reports that organisers put attendance at nearly 50,000. The figure is an organiser estimate rather than an independently measured total.
Music and aerial staging
The roughly three-and-a-half-hour programme focused on performances.
Ha An Huy and Phung Minh Cuong appeared on a boat moved by a zipline system towards the stage during Em chi lang im.
Aerial circus work, choreography and water effects added visual elements.
Other sections incorporated traditional musical material, including cheo and vong co influences, alongside modern arrangements.
The programme also moved into songs associated with childhood and home, creating changes of mood between the more energetic sections.
Conditions and audience response
Rain before the show left the stage slippery. The report describes falls involving several performers, including a problem during Duy Khanh's aerial lift.
The artists continued their performances, but no medical diagnosis is announced in the article.
Audience comments about sound, lighting and atmosphere are individual assessments rather than objective measures of the whole event.
A second concert was listed for October 18. This report concerns the October 17 performance, not the outcome of that later show.
The opening night combined technical staging, traditional references and familiar songs in the first live presentation of the series.
