On June 8, Mr. Tran Huu Thuy Giang, Vice Chairman of the Hue City People's Committee, announced that Hue International Music Week 2026 will be held from June 13 to 18 at the outdoor stage near Quoc Hoc Stele Park along the banks of the Perfume River.
The event is one of the key attractions of this year’s Summer Festival, bringing together eight traditional and contemporary performing arts groups from France, Spain, Australia, Japan, South Korea and Vietnam.
All performances will be held outdoors and offered free of charge to both residents and visitors. Audiences can enjoy a diverse range of artistic expressions, including contemporary dance, pop music, flamenco, fashion shows and performances blending traditional and modern cultural elements.
Representing Vietnam, the Hue Royal Traditional Arts Theatre will present a special program alongside a Trinh Cong Son tribute concert featuring a number of renowned artists.
Main performances will begin at 8:00 PM each evening. The opening night on June 13 will feature artists from Japan, South Korea and the Hue Royal Traditional Arts Theatre. The Trinh Cong Son music night is scheduled for June 14, while the closing ceremony on June 18 will conclude the festival with performances by young Vietnamese singers.
