Within the framework of the Hue Festival 2026, the Hue International Music Week 2026 will officially take place from June 13 to June 18, 2026. The event is expected to be a sensational highlight of the Summer Festival, gathering a star-studded lineup of world-class artists and art troupes from Vietnam and across the globe.

An Open Artistic Space Oriented Towards the Community

This year, the Organizing Committee has selected the Perfume River Waterfront Stage (located in front of the Hue Quoc Hoc High School) as the central hub of connection. The week's core vision is to cultivate a fresh, creative, and humanistic contemporary music space. Featuring an open-air design, the program is entirely community-oriented and completely free of charge for local residents and tourists alike.

A Global Feast of Sound and Light

The music week brings together 8 leading traditional and contemporary art troupes from France, Spain, Australia, Japan, South Korea, and Vietnam. Audiences will witness a sublime fusion of dance, pop, flamenco, choreography, and fashion delivered by renowned names:

• International Lineup: Hervé Koubi Dance Company (France), OJOS Music Group (France), LAS MIGAS Flamenco Group (Spain), My Anh & Matthew Ifield (Australia), J-POP Artist Kawanishi Natsuki (Japan), K-Culture Friends in Chungnam (South Korea), Park Sang-Yong Yung Dance Company (Busan), and Pungnyu Bongi Troupe (Gyeongju).

Shaping the Future on the Foundation of Heritage

The Hue International Music Week 2026 is far more than a cultural exchange festival; it is a signature musical rendezvous within the Hue Festival framework and a strategic milestone toward transforming Hue into Vietnam's quintessential Festival City. The event actively promotes the warm and hospitable image of Hue's people, boosting tourism and driving sustainable socio-economic development anchored in the power of heritage.
