From the inspiring "Grammy diva" and the "unlimited voice" of Kazakhstan to the "explosive generation" representing K-pop, they will come together to create a multi-experience music festival for Vietnamese audiences at 8Wonder Winter 2025.

With the theme Symphony of Stars, 8Wonder Winter 2025 was held at the Vietnam Exhibition Center and organized by Vingroup .

More than just a music festival, this is an emotional journey where sound, light, technology, and global culture intersect, ushering in a warm winter and inspiring creativity on a single stage.

Three distinct tones converge in 8Wonder Winter

Music, no matter where it comes from, has one thing in common: emotion. And at 8Wonder Winter 2025, Vietnamese audiences will witness the intersection of three seemingly opposing styles that complement each other perfectly.

This time, 8Wonder Winter 2025 brings together three prominent names representing three distinct musical styles: Alicia Keys, "the R&B and soul icon of America," Dimash Qudaibergen, "the Kazakh artist with an otherworldly voice," and aespa, "the futuristic K-pop girl group with a futuristic and technological style."

This collaboration promises to create a "winter symphony," where musical currents intertwine, offering a rich experience for Vietnamese audiences.

For Alicia Keys, the 17-time Grammy-winning singer-songwriter, the 8Wonder Winter stage was where she delivered hits that resonated with generations of R&B lovers, such as "If I Ain't Got You ," " No One ," and " Girl on Fire ."

Alicia Keys performed "Falling in'" live at the Apple Music Festival, London 2016.

Her powerful vocals and approachable performance style promise to allow Vietnamese audiences to relive the emotional moments from her nearly three-decade career.

In addition, Dimash Qudaibergen – dubbed the "voice without limits" – will bring a completely different flavor, with the ability to sing in many genres from pop, pop opera, folk, classical crossover…

Dimash is considered one of the rare artists who can touch the emotions of listeners despite language differences.

Each of his performances is a story told through his voice, where technique and emotion blend together, touching the hearts of the audience.

Representing the "explosive generation" and "the future of K-pop" is aespa. This Gen Z girl group from SM Entertainment stands out with its musical style that combines real-life and virtual performance technology.

Dimash performed the song SOS at Ho Guom Theater during the A Night with The Stars concert.

With hits like "Next Level ," "Savage, " and "Drama ," aespa is considered a prime example of the trend of incorporating technology into performing arts. The group's appearance not only attracts K-pop fans but also expands the entertainment experience for young Vietnamese audiences.

What makes 8Wonder Winter 2025 special is not only its star-studded lineup of artists, but also its spirit of "connecting all musical worlds ".

The stage is designed for a multi-layered experience: lighting systems, visual effects, and international-standard sound technology will be combined to create a "musical universe."

Audiences will be able to experience the movement of musical currents, from classic R&B and contemporary pop to modern electronic music, all blended together in a single night.

From Alicia Keys' passionate soul and Dimash's transcendent vocals to the explosive energy of aespa, the entire cast promises a seamless emotional journey, concluding 2025 with an unforgettable experience.

Inviting big-name stars like Alicia Keys, Dimash, and aespa is not only an organizational success but also demonstrates the potential for growth in Vietnam's entertainment market during this integration period.

From Alicia Keys' piano melodies and Dimash's hauntingly high notes to the vibrant energy of aespa, every moment on stage will be a fusion of technique, creativity, and emotion.

8Wonder Winter 2025 aims to create a festival where music transcends generational, national, and stylistic boundaries, where music breaks free from limitations.

Audiences come to the event not only to watch performances but also to immerse themselves in a festive atmosphere with areas for experiencing and interacting with international art and cuisine.

That "Winter Symphony" was not just a concert, but also an affirmation that music always has the power to connect people, no matter where they come from.

The event is also seen as a step forward in affirming Vietnam's position on the map of international music destinations.

Vingroup's 8Wonder Winter 2025, featuring three global icons, is not just an entertainment event, but also a testament to the aspiration to make Vietnam a destination known as a "wonder"—a place where music can create wonders.

Three artists from three different eras and with three distinct ways of connecting with their audience, when brought together on the same stage, promise to create a truly multi-experienced evening: from emotional depth to cutting-edge technique and the explosion of new trends.

For Vietnamese audiences, enjoying such a program is no longer simply about listening, but about participating in a journey of high-level emotions and artistry.
