Singer Tùng Dương's concert at Mỹ Đình National Stadium sold all 15,000 tickets on the first day they went on sale, VnExpress reported on 28 October. The show, titled Bay về phía mặt trời (roughly, Flying Toward the Sun), will take place on 19 December. According to VnExpress, online ticket sales will stay open until the day of the concert, with nine price tiers ranging from 1.3 million to 12 million dong.
On the evening of 28 October, the singer said he was moved by the response. He described every ticket as a sign of the audience's trust in his music, and said that happiness came with pressure and a responsibility for his team to deliver a night worthy of fans' expectations.
From theatres to the national stadium
VnExpress notes that, after Mỹ Tâm, Tùng Dương is one of very few Vietnamese singers to stage a solo live concert at the national stadium. All of his previous solo shows were held in theatres. Moving to a 40,000-seat venue gives his team two problems at once: building a stage and sound system for an open-air show, and filling the stands. The singer said he was leaving his comfort zone to balance his own musical identity with mainstream taste. He had already drawn attention for going to a BigBang concert to study how the Korean group works a stadium crowd.
