Music festival «Sao Concert Trạm 3 – The Stardom Music Festival»

   Fourteen hours of music in a riverside township on the eastern edge of Ho Chi Minh City, with a bill drawn almost entirely from Vietnam's current wave of young headliners. This is the third stop of the Sao Concert series this year, and the biggest of the three.

   The first announcement listed 16 acts, with organisers promising a final line-up of more than 30. For scale: the July edition brought together Quang Hung MasterD, MONO, Duong Domic, Grey D, Phung Khanh Linh and Orange.

   Announced so far:

• — B Ray — Vietnamese-American rapper, nominated for a Cong Hien award for Song of the Year
• — Duong Domic (Dương Domic) — broke through on the first season of «Anh trai say hi» with «Tràn bộ nhớ» and «Mất kết nối»
• — UPRIZE — seven-member boy group launched in January 2026 out of the survival show «Tan binh toan nang»
• — Marzuz — Gen Z singer-songwriter, nominated for Cong Hien's New Artist of the Year
• — Vu Thanh Van (Vũ Thanh Vân) — indie artist whose debut album came out in 2026
• — 24k.Right, 52Hz, Captain Boy, Chi Xe, JaysonLei, Jey B, Khoi Vu, Mason Nguyen, Mew Amazing, Minh Toc & Lam, Rio

   The site is Van Phuc City, a development on the Saigon River in the Thu Duc area — roughly 30–40 minutes by car from District 1 depending on traffic on Quoc Lo 13, so plan the return trip before you go. The stage has LED screens on both sides and two delay towers for the far zones.

   Zones are unusually granular: two standing pits, Stardom and Fanzone, right at the front; four numbered premium tiers on the central grandstand; and fifteen Cat blocks fanning out to the sides. Perks scale with the tier — Ultra VIP includes a handfan, bandana, lanyard, three collectible cards, early check-in and a separate entrance and restroom, while the standard Cat tiers get one card.

   Practical rules worth knowing: tickets are sold online through Ticketbox only, six per transaction with a 15-minute payment window, and are non-refundable and non-transferable. Under-16s need a guardian aged 18 or over, each holding their own ticket in the same zone. The standing areas are closed to under-12s, pregnant women and anyone under 1.2 m. Bags larger than A4, outside food and drink except sealed plastic water bottles under 500 ml, selfie sticks, laser pointers and banners over 45×15 cm all stay outside.

   Seating map and booking are on the event page.

   If you want a single day that tells you what Vietnamese pop sounds like right now, this is the one to block out.
