The singers are Ho Ngoc Ha, Phuong Vy, Anh Khoa, Le Hieu, Hoang Bach, Quoc Thien, Anh Khanh, with two guests: Lam Chan Huy and Lieu Anh Tuan.

The tour will also debut two newcomers: Quan Rapsoul and Suboi.

The tour will take in five venues, including Giang Vo Exhibition Center in Hanoi (July 3), Vietnam-Czechoslovakia Cultural Friendship Palace in the northern city of Hai Phong (July 7), Da Nang Sporting Event Hall in the south central coastal city of Da Nang (July 11), the Ba Ria – Vung Tau Sporting Event Hall in the southern coastal city of Vung Tau (July 17) and the Can Tho Sporting Event Hall in the Mekong Delta’s city of Can Tho (July 19).

Speaking to SGGP about the concerts, composer, and manager of Music Faces, Duc Tri said: “On this occasion, audiences cannot expect a very impressive and fabulous stage, but they probably will enjoy good music from the concerts.

“On this tour, Ha will present a new song My Apology in both Vietnamese and English. The new girl Suboi will have the chance to use her favorite R ‘n’ B beats in some collaborations on stage with Ho Ngoc Ha and Phuong Vy,” he said.

“We set up this tour to connect with the hearts of the music fans, so we expect to bring to them more than they expect. They can talk to the singers, smile with the singers, shout in happiness with singers and even request some songs not on the playlist of the concert, and of course, the singers will perform them even though they are not prepared. This is a new feature for a music tour in Vietnam,” Tri added

At the final stop – Can Tho, Music Faces and main sponsor An Binh Bank will present five scholarships, worth VND2 million (US$110) each, to local disadvantaged students.

The final concert will also be broadcast live on VTV9.

Tickets for Hai Phong will cost a little more than VND100,000 ($6) each, while tickets for other venues will be less than VND100,000 each.

Music Faces is a record label set up by Duc Tri. The company has created various music products for big projects in Vietnam, including the variety show “Duyen dang Việt Nam” (Charming Vietnam), the soundtrack for the movie “Ao lua Ha Dong” (The white silk dress) and the live show “Vi ta can co nhau” (Because we need each other).
