  • Vietnamese singer-songwriter Hoàng Dũng’s third Xoay tròn concert in Hưng Yên drew about 11,000 people, his largest audience to date.
  • His concerts in Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City and Hưng Yên have attracted more than 30,000 people combined.
  • Hoàng Dũng said the support of his family, colleagues, team and fans helped him overcome earlier doubts about continuing his music career.

Hoàng Dũng’s third Xoay tròn concert drew about 11,000 people in Hưng Yên on September 7, giving the Vietnamese singer-songwriter the biggest audience of his career.

really happy today

· Hoàng DũngHe described his reaction to performing for the largest audience of his career.

The show followed concerts in Hanoi on August 2, 2025, and Ho Chi Minh City on March 28, 2026. Each of those performances also attracted around 10,000 people. Across the three concerts, Xoay tròn has brought more than 30,000 spectators to Vietnam’s domestic concert market.

Hoàng Dũng once questioned whether he should continue making music. His family, initial plans and surroundings had offered no clear indication that he would pursue this path. He kept going because playing music and posting songs online gave him pleasure, even during a period when new releases received little public attention.

music friends

· Hoàng DũngHe used the phrase for the fans who have followed him from small venues to large concerts.

That stagnation led him to underestimate himself and feel that he lacked value. Now, he says, he has a family, a long-standing team and fellow artists including Vũ., Hà Lê, Orange, Đen Vâu, and Minh Tốc & Lam. He also has what he calls his “music friends”, fans who followed him from student-era venues with only a few hundred people to concerts attended by tens of thousands.

don’t be afraid, don’t worry

· Hoàng DũngHe said this is what he would tell his younger self in 2015.

Hoàng Dũng said he was “really happy today.” If he could return to the confused and anxious version of himself from 2015, he said he would advise him: “don’t be afraid, don’t worry” and “believe in what you are doing.” He added that he remains an ordinary artist with shortcomings to improve, while the scale of Xoay tròn is extraordinary because so many people and team members contributed to it.

believe in what you are doing

· Hoàng DũngHe offered this advice to the anxious and uncertain version of himself from 2015.
