Phuong Thanh and Ngu Cung perform on a special stage on the stone plateau.

On November 21, the crew of the Rock - Spirit of Rock program met with the press, introducing official information about the show that will take place on December 6 in Lung Tam commune ( Tuyen Quang ), within the framework of the 2025 Buckwheat Festival with the theme of the blooming rock land .

Mr. Lai Quoc Tinh - Chairman of Tuyen Quang Province Tourism Association said that the program has special meaning when rock and the spirit of the highland people have similar meeting points.

"Rock is a breakthrough, strong, free breath and a desire to overcome challenges. Highlanders, especially in the Dong Van Karst Plateau Global Geopark, have long lived in extremely harsh conditions. Their tenacious will and bravery in the face of harsh nature have a strange similarity with the spirit of rock," he said.

Mr. Tinh hopes that the show will bring the audience a complete rock experience, while helping them better understand the lives of people in border areas, where every house and every village is always associated with the responsibility of protecting the country's borders.

Meritorious Artist Anh Tuyet - the program's director said that Rock - Spirit of Rock aims to tell the story of the stone plateau through music : "I want music to resonate in the rock valley, in the life of the highland people. It is a blend of modern music and indigenous cultural colors."

The program consists of two parts: Part 1 - From Stone, tells the journey of forming life on the stone plateau, from hardships and challenges to the will to survive and develop. The Ngu Cung band, the Mun Go band and dancers will recreate the story through music and dance.

Part 2 - Today, reflects the transformation, integration and development of the highlands, using modern musical language with the participation of Ngu Cung and the Giggarats group.

"I believe this is the first time the story of the highlanders has been told in the language of rock. Working with Ngu Cung is a fortuitous event because they own compositions closely related to highland culture such as Stone Plateau, Wife Robbery ... which helped me shape the structure and emotions of the story," Meritorious Artist Anh Tuyet shared.

A representative of the Ngu Cung band shared that when they accepted to participate in the show, they immediately felt the similarity between the program's spirit and the band's current creative stage. Songs like "Cẩu Vợ" and many new compositions will be renewed with the arrangement of musician Tran Thang, promising to bring many unexpected highlights.

The program is expected to attract 1,500 - 2,000 audiences, including domestic and foreign tourists, young people who love travel and music, locals and the rock fan community.

The show gathered many famous artists: singer Phuong Thanh, band Ngu Cung, Mun Go, Ciggarats and dancers from Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City.

Besides music, the audience can participate in a series of cultural experiences such as panpipe dancing, throwing con, weaving linen... Notably, the Rock Your Body dance competition, where street dance combines freestyle with highland cultural elements. The final round will take place right on the stage in the middle of the rocky mountain - a rare performance space.
