According to Le Quoc Minh, member of the Party Central Committee, Editor-in-Chief of Nhan Dan, deputy head of the Party Central Committee’s Commission for Information, Education and Mass Mobilization, and President of the Vietnam Journalists Association, in recent years, Nhan Dan has organized numerous programs with strong social impact and deep political and cultural significance.
The program is expected not only to offer a modern and engaging artistic experience, but also to help spread sustainable cultural values, foster national pride, strengthen solidarity and inspire aspirations for national development in the new era, he noted.
Beyond welcoming the new year, the concert also serves as a practical activity celebrating the successful 14th National Party Congress, contributing to the effective implementation of Party resolutions and the realization of national development aspirations, he added.
Creative Director and General Director Dang Le Minh Tri said the Light Concert - Welcome 2026 is conceived as an integrated artistic production in which music, light, technology and Hanoi’s heritage space jointly tell a story. For the first time, a large-scale, complex and highly dynamic performance technology system will be deployed directly on a stage set in front of the Hanoi Opera House.
The program will feature a lineup of prominent Vietnamese artists, including Lam Truong, Truc Nhan, ca tru singer Kieu Anh, Phuong Ly, Quan A.P, Dong Hung and Hoang Quyen, alongside young performers Ali Thuc Phuong, Kim Cuong and Dang Kim Thien Kim, guitarist Cao Minh Duc, the HT art troupe, Xtreme Power dance crew and host Thanh Thanh Huyen. Artists from different generations and styles are expected to create a diverse and wide-ranging artistic experience.
With the theme “Vibrant Light,” light is chosen as the central artistic language, symbolizing faith, unity, the spirit of innovation and the nation’s aspiration to rise strongly in the future.
