The highlight of this year's 8Wonder will be a journey connected by music, emotions, and visuals. The stage visuals are quite unique, entirely hand-drawn, embodying a contemporary spirit and artistic value.

Many performances featured a variety of traditional Vietnamese musical instruments, weaving together an inspiring musical atmosphere. Audiences gained a clearer understanding of the interplay between Vietnamese cultural essence and global appeal.
This was clearly demonstrated in the performances of singers Hoa Minzy and Soobin Hoang Son.
Singer Hoa Minzy brought her hit song "Bac Bling" to the 8Wonder stage in a completely different way compared to previous occasions - youthful, patriotic, and international, with the appearance of 200 children wearing red and yellow flag shirts.
The female singer also performed a portion of the song "Pain Amidst Peace" – a song from the film "Red Rain," made to commemorate the 80th anniversary of National Day.
Soobin Hoang Son truly made the more than 50,000 audience members of 8Wonder "explode" with excitement with his multifaceted performances. He showcased two different styles seamlessly.
He expressed his pride in Vietnamese culture through songs like "Trong Com" (Rice Drum), "Nguoi Viet" (Vietnamese People), "Ngoi Tua Man Thuyen" (Sitting by the Boat's Edge)... and showcased an international spirit with "Daydreams," "Dancing in the Dark," "BlackJack," "SUPPERSTAR"... The male singer also captivated the audience with his incredibly lyrical performances on the zither and piano.
Opening the international stars' segment, South Korean singer DPR IAN brought a unique musical style, blending rock, jazz, techno, and alternative music, to the Vietnamese audience. His hit songs such as "Don't Go Insane," "So Beautiful," "Calico," "Nerves," and "Limbo" captivated the audience.
During the performance, DPR IAN even spoke a few Vietnamese phrases, further delighting the audience.
Colombian artist J Balvin, who has been nominated for 6 Grammy Awards and won 5 Latin Grammys, brought excitement to his first performance in Vietnam.
Dubbed the "King of Reggaeton" and one of the best-selling Latin artists of all time, his performances of internationally famous songs such as "Loco Contigo," "Mi Gente," "Amarillo," "Taki Taki," and "I Like It" (ft. tlinh) are vibrant and distinctly Latin.
Truly a musical icon that transcends cultural boundaries, J Balvin and tlinh created a breathtaking moment on the 8Wonder stage, sharing in the joy with the Vietnamese people in the heroic atmosphere leading up to the 80th anniversary of the nation's founding.
Setting the stage on fire at the music festival was the young Australian singer The Kid LAROI. At just 21 years old, he already boasts an impressive list of achievements, most notably his hit "Stay" featuring Justin Bieber, which held the No. 1 position on the Billboard Hot 100 for six consecutive weeks and remained in the top 10 for a total of 17 weeks. His EP "FCK LOVE 3 (OVER YOU)" also once dominated the Billboard 200 at No. 1.
With their distinctive voices, catchy melodies, and a spirit of constantly pushing boundaries, The Kid LAROI brought impressive songs to 8Wonder such as “Stay”, “Thousand Miles”, “Baby I'm Back”, “How Does It Feel?”, “Without You”, and “So Done”.
DJ Snake – the French-Algerian "hitmaker" – appeared last and was also the main artist of the music festival, further igniting the audience's emotions with world-class performances including sets like "Turn Down for What," "Lean On," "Let Me Love You," "You Know You Like It," and "Get Low," combining trap, dubstep, and contemporary electronic music.
The grand music festival concluded with a spectacular fireworks display celebrating the 80th anniversary of National Day.
8Wonder: “Moments of Wonder” not only delivered a spectacular musical feast for over 50,000 attendees, but also affirmed Vietnam's appeal and new position on the international festival map.
