Fourth competition night of DIFF 2025: Creativity from "newcomer" Portugal, classic colors from the UK

With the theme “Sustainable Development”, the fourth competition night of the Da Nang International Fireworks Festival (DIFF) 2025, organized by Sun Group in association with the People’s Committee of Da Nang City, continued to bring a visual and emotional feast on the Han River. Two teams from Europe – Portugal and the United Kingdom – delighted thousands of spectators with their creative, highly technical and artistic fireworks displays.

A vibrant "light show" from Portugal

Participating for the first time at DIFF, the Macedos Pirotecnia team from Portugal quickly asserted their class by bringing a fireworks display as lively as a rock concert in the sky of Da Nang .

Beginning with the energetic melody of "Rock You Like A Hurricane" by the band Scorpions, the team stirred up the atmosphere with a powerful rhythm, fireworks exploding in sync with each beat, immersing the audience in a grand concert of light and sound. As emotions reached their peak, the performance unexpectedly shifted with "I Love Vietnam So Much" – a gentle melody played amidst illuminated birds and fireworks effects simulating sunlight, conveying a heartfelt message about nature and love for Vietnam.

The climax was reached with special musical arrangements ranging from Lusitana Paixão and Rio Favo de Mel to even a part of Lacrimosa (Mozart), interwoven with light, classical and modern music . Characteristic fireworks techniques such as comets, light cascades, and volcanic fireworks created a brilliant symphony in the sky, imbued with the spirit of "for a green future."

Musician Nguyen Duc Trinh commented, “Portugal’s performance was truly impressive. Creative, surprising and full of emotion, they are not only a ‘newbie’ but also one of the very strong competitors at this year’s DIFF season.”

The United Kingdom - A wave of emotion that touches the heart.

Returning to Da Nang audiences, the Pyrotex Fireworx team from the UK continued to captivate audiences with a performance rich in artistic depth called “Emotional Waves” – a poetic cinematic concert against the night sky of the Han River.

Approximately 8,000 fireworks were specially designed for each show, combining diverse music ranging from lyrical and action-packed to cinematic. The performance began with a serene atmosphere reminiscent of the ocean depths, then accelerated with soundtracks from James Bond films, transporting the audience into a world of dramatic action. Notably, the middle section of the show created a sensation with a series of Vietnamese songs such as "Người hãy quên em đi" (My Tam) and "Nơi này có anh" (Son Tung M-TP), electrifying the audience and creating moments of intimacy and pride.

The finale was like an outdoor art gala, with a series of timeless masterpieces: Canto Della Terra, Live and Let Die, Dancing Queen, Future World Music... blended with top-notch fireworks effects, bringing the audience's emotions to a climax - both joyful and profound.

Musician Nguyen Duc Trinh commented: “The British team always knows how to create highlights. Their fireworks are cinematic, classic yet modern. The ending is so satisfying – brilliant and complete.”

Art spaces are booming along the Han River.

Beyond just fireworks, the fourth night of DIFF 2025 was a multi-faceted artistic feast. Spectacular and elaborately staged song and dance performances, featuring artists such as Dong Hung, Lam Bao Ngoc, To My, and professional dance troupes, transformed the Ngu Hanh Son stage into a vibrant highlight of Da Nang's summer.

In particular, Sky AR – an outdoor augmented reality technology – continues to make a strong impression. Since the opening ceremony, Sky AR has attracted thousands of interactions, becoming an engaging experience for tourists and affirming the city's strong progress in applying digital transformation to the tourism industry.

Speaking at the event, Mr. Sandeep Arya – Indian Ambassador to Vietnam – shared: “DIFF is becoming a unique destination in the region. Along with the stunning natural beauty and heritage sites such as Ba Na Hills, Hoi An..., DIFF adds a modern cultural appeal, making Da Nang even more attractive to international tourists.”

Along with DIFF, accompanying events such as Enjoy Danang Festival 2025 (June 20-23), street art programs, festivals at Ba Na Hills, Da Nang Downtown, My Khe beach, or vibrant streets like Tran Hung Dao, Nguyen Van Thoai, Vo Nguyen Giap… are bringing a colorful summer experience, contributing to the promotion of tourism and the night economy in the locality.

DIFF 2025 is both the pinnacle of fireworks art and a vivid demonstration of the appeal of a modern, creative and integrated Da Nang – a city that is constantly transforming itself to become Asia's leading festival destination.
