Raining but still partying at Ho Do
6pm, heavy rain, traffic jam along Nguyen Hue walking street. People braved the rain to go to Ho Do stage area.
Blending in with the crowd, Ms. Sabine, a German tourist, shared with Tuoi Tre Online : "I learned about the Ho Do festival through the billboards along the road. I was attracted by the energetic-looking artists, but I didn't know who they were, so I wanted to come and see them. The festival's slogan ' The world beats together' also made me curious."

The melody of Tiny love rang out, changing the atmosphere. The sound of guitar and drums combined with the fire-breathing effect made the stage more exciting. Many people sang and danced along to Thinh Suy.
After that, he confided about his broken love that left him with lingering pain through the song Thac Mam . This song in Ho Do is somewhat different from the original, because it has been mixed with more upbeat melodies, not too sad.
And the audience exploded when HIEUTHUHAI appeared with his friend MANBO. Screams of joy, a series of phones raised to take pictures and film the most famous young artist in 2024.

HIEUTHUHAI sang, rapped and continuously interacted with the audience. He asked about and expressed his emotion when he learned that many fans had come to the stage early in the rain to watch him perform.
During the exchange, HIEUTHUHAI and MANBO also called on everyone to support the campaign of 1 million green trees for the sea and islands of the Fatherland, for a green Vietnam.
Although it was late at night, most of the audience stayed to wait for the appearance of Henry Lau - a Chinese-Canadian singer and songwriter.
He used to be a member of the group Super Junior-M, and officially went solo in 2013. Henry Lau shouted loudly: "Vietnam". The audience did not give up, shouting louder in response.
Henry Lau greeted Vietnam with captivating violin sounds, his voice and charismatic choreography in the song Trap . He also "showed off" his talent in using many musical instruments, from drums, piano, and percussion.
The first night of Ho Do ended as a new day approached. The audience left, echoing the sounds of appointments to watch the second day of Ho Do together.
