Concert «Người Viết Tên Nỗi Buồn»

   A concert that starts at 17:00 rather than after dark, so the first songs land while Da Lat is still bright and the last ones arrive once the streets have gone cold. That scheduling is deliberate: D'ART Music runs a small stage on Yersin Street, minutes from Xuan Huong Lake, and the set is built to follow the afternoon into evening.

   The programme is led by songwriter Đông Thiên Đức, author of the much-covered «Một Vòng Việt Nam» — the evening is his catalogue, sung by him and by guests. The line-up includes Bạch Công Khanh, Thành Đạt, Ngân Nara, Đoàn Ngọc Linh, Hồ Thanh Tăng and Bích Tuyết.

   Four ticket tiers are named after local landmarks: Xuân Hương, Lâm Viên, LangBiAng and Xuân Trường. The first three cost 1,000,000 VND and differ only by seating area; Xuân Trường is the 800,000 VND tier. VAT is already included in the price.

   If you are in Da Lat that weekend and want an indoor evening instead of another walk round the night market, this fits neatly — it finishes before 20:00 and leaves the rest of the night free. The songs are in Vietnamese, and the mood carries even if the lyrics do not. Tickets are sold through Ticketbox.
