Don't shake hands too firmly.

The organizers of the Bond Live in Vietnam concert have just announced that the concert will take place at 8pm on October 5 at the Vietnam National Convention Center. All ticket sales will be used to support people who suffered heavy damage caused by storm No. 3.

Bond will come to Vietnam to perform in October in Hanoi .

Mr. Le Quoc Minh, Member of the Party Central Committee, Editor-in-Chief of Nhan Dan Newspaper, Deputy Head of the Central Propaganda Department, President of the Vietnam Journalists Association , Head of the program's steering committee, said that the 4 Bond girls are no longer strangers to Vietnamese audiences. The group has performed in Vietnam twice before but in a limited format, but this time there will be many differences.

"This time, the Bond group not only brings top-notch music to Vietnamese audiences but also contributes to raising charity funds for Nhan Dan Newspaper. Accordingly, all ticket sales during the concert will be donated by the Organizing Committee to support people who suffered heavy losses in storm No. 3," Mr. Le Quoc Minh shared.

The editor-in-chief of Nhan Dan Newspaper said that Bond is a band that rarely tours in countries around the world. Inviting this legendary quartet to perform in Vietnam in October is a lucky and meaningful thing because the concert not only brings artistic values ​​but also raises funds to support people affected by storms and floods.

Mr. Le Quoc Minh, Member of the Party Central Committee, Editor-in-Chief of Nhan Dan Newspaper, Deputy Head of the Central Propaganda Department, President of the Vietnam Journalists Association, Head of the program's steering committee shared.

As top artists, Bond has certain strict requirements for the organizers. Mr. Le Quoc Minh revealed that one of Bond's requirements is "not to shake hands too firmly during the meeting before the performance".

"They requested that during the pre-performance meeting, we not shake hands too tightly, almost just touching, it was a mandatory requirement so as not to affect the performance. They were very careful in protecting their hands because the group was performing musical instruments. At first, I was a bit surprised by this request, but this shows how careful the artists are in ensuring safety for a performance," said journalist Le Quoc Minh.

On the night of October 4, Bond will perform about 20 famous works, including the "hits" that made the group's name. Many songs will be remade to be more lively and different. However, the group will not perform any Vietnamese music.

Talking about this, Mr. Le Quoc Minh shared that international artists often only choose familiar works to perform in the most fluent and sublime way.

The head of the program's steering committee also emphasized that, in addition to appearing in the music night, Bond will make a music video to spread cultural beauty and promote the image of Vietnam's country and people to international friends.

"This year, Bond will film the MV in another location. This time, the production team will make the MV in a form that combines images of Vietnam with the music so that the audience can both enjoy the music and see the images. Currently, the Organizing Committee has surveyed the location and discussed with the locality to come up with plans for the MV production, but cannot reveal the specifics yet," said Mr. Le Quoc Minh.
