The Fall Music Festival will take place at 10 different locations, featuring music across all genres.

Pop stars such as UyenLinh, KhanhLinh and Hoang Bach – and up-and-coming performers Bao Tram, Duong Hoang Yen and DinhManhNinh – will take the stage. They will be accompanied by jazz bands, flamenco bands and others.

Cheo (traditional opera) artists ThanhHoai, XuanDieu and Thu Hang will join in the festival with performances at the Ly Thai To Statue on DinhTien Hoang Street.

Dance troupes will perform pop, rock and electronic dance music at Dong Da Hill on Tay Son Street, Thong Nhat Park on Tran Nhan Tong Street and at Dong Xuan Market.

A round stage will be placed at the crossroads of Ta Hien and Luong Ngoc Quyen streets in the Old Quarter for jazz performances.

The Ha Noi Station will host performances by acoustic bands, while Rhapsody Philharmonic will play at Vincom Towers on Ba Trieu Street.

About 20 established artists will join up for a big concert at the August Revolution Square in front of Ha Noi Opera House, 1 TrangTien Street.

Indochina Plaza at 241 XuanThuy Street and CauGiay Park on DichVong Street will also host musicians.

"Such music festivals have been held in many other countries, attracting locals and tourists as well," said QuocTrung, the festival's music director.

The Fall Music Festival will be held as one of various cultural activities to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the August Revolution (August 19) and National Day (September 2).

An exhibition opened at 48 Hang Ngang Street, where President Ho Chi Minh wrote the Declaration of Independence. It will run until the end of October.

"Cultural activities this year will be more attractive than in previous years," said To Van Dong, director of the culture department.
