'Heart of the Homeland' Concert Ticket Registration Exceeds 5.7 Million in One Hour

The ticket registration for the second season of the patriotic concert 'Heart of the Homeland' (Tổ quốc trong tim), held on August 8, received an overwhelming response, with over 5.7 million requests logged in just 1 hour and 27 minutes. This figure significantly surpasses the 3 million registrations recorded during the first season last year, indicating a heightened public interest. Organizers stated that successful registrants will receive a confirmation email with a QR code. The physical ticket exchange will take place on August 15 and 16 in Ho Chi Minh City. The 'Heart of the Homeland' concert aims to promote national pride and celebrate Vietnam's cultural and historical values through music and art. Co-organized by the People's Committee of Ho Chi Minh City and the Nhân Dân Newspaper, the event will be held in the Van Phuc urban area. The concert is structured into three parts: 'A Unified Land' (Non sông một dải), 'Proud Red Hue' (Sắc đỏ tự hào), and 'Homeland in the Heart' (Tổ quốc trong tim). These segments will depict historical milestones, the national flag, and the dynamic spirit of Vietnamese youth. Đặng Lê Minh Trí, who directed last year's concert, will return as director. Last year's inaugural concert on August 10, 2025, at Hanoi's Mỹ Đình National Stadium, attracted over 50,000 attendees and featured prominent artists such as Tùng Dương, Tóc Tiên, and Hà Lê. The event sparked a wave of 'national concerts,' reflecting a growing trend among young people to embrace patriotic music. It became a notable socio-artistic phenomenon, garnering hundreds of millions of views, shares, and discussions on digital platforms both domestically and internationally. In January of this year, 'Heart of the Homeland' received the Sol Vàng award, the highest honor in the 'chính luận' (political and ideological artistic program) category, presented by the Vietnam Musicians' Association. Unlike typical 'chính luận' programs, 'Heart of the Homeland' adopts a modern, colorful concert format to convey its patriotic theme. It blends music, stage design, performance technology, and visual effects to create an emotional experience for the audience, rather than focusing solely on ritualistic elements. A particularly touching moment was when tens of thousands of attendees stood together to sing the national anthem 'Tiến quân ca' (music by Văn Cao). Source: VnExpress
