2018 marks an important milestone in the development of Vietnamese music and entertainment scene. Lights 2019 will be a special countdown event to say goodbye to 2018 and to celebrate 2019. Ho Chi Minh City citizens will have the opportunity to enjoy performances from outstanding artists, such as Thanh Bui, Soobin Hoang Son, Trong Hieu, Den, Bich Ngoc, Osad, Kimmese, The LYRICIST, DJ Hoaprox and SlimV... and the event will be hosted by reputable Master of Ceremony - Tran Thanh.

New year countdown Lights 2019 makes a strong play with indie and hip hop - the cool music trend of the year that will continue to be the future trend in music.

Marking a breakthrough year in which Indie and Hip Hop music have grown significantly, New Year Countdown Lights 2019 will feature performances from the most beloved indie artists of the year: Ca Hoi Hoang, guys of few words, the band who “tell stories by music”...The "muse" from Hanoi - Marzuz is also tell dreamy stories in her songs. Songs of youth, freedom, desire to experience is expected from Den. Den will also connect other artists of the night such as Kimmese in a fantastic mash-up.

Besides Indie and Hip Hop artists, the show will feature various famous artists who are adored by fans all over the nation. Osad and Monstar will perform their latest hits. Two singing sensations from Vietnam Idol – Trong Hieu and Bich Ngoc will also join the countdown Lights 2019. With powerful vocals, Bich Ngoc is expected to give the audience a strong and robust performance. Trong Hieu will please everyone with his catchy hits. The show also features “prince of pop” Soobin Hoang Son with his hit songs that are loved by many over the last few years.

A message of peace will especially be communicated via a dance choreography, in a special performance by The LYRICÍST dance crew. “Humanity” is choreographed based on a poem written by The LYRICÍST and will be one of the performances that we expect will mesmerize audience. And the most recognised performance will likely be from the young students of Soul Music & Performing Arts Academy on Baby Shark and Pinkfong, two animation characters that have become every family’s favorite on social media in Vietnam and around Asia in the past few years.

As the Founder of Amberstone Media, Thanh Bui shared: “It is not about mainstream or indie, it is about talented Vietnamese artists sharing one stage, and it is a dream of mine. In 2018, the national arts scene, especially music, has seen many impressive moves, many events that made us proud to say that we are Vietnamese. I want all the audience who come to this year’s Countdown Lights 2019 to feel a sense of pride of Vietnamese talent. Lights 2019 is not only an annual cultural event for the community but also a stage to bring Vietnamese talent closer to the public”.

New Year Countdown Lights 2019 promises to continue to bring pioneering musical spirit, the electronic rhythm from DJ Hoaprox and SlimV, with their energetic and fiery music to celebrate a new year transforming moment with all audience on Nguyen Hue walking street.
