Many concerts create a positive social impact, attracting tens of thousands of participants.
The concerts should emphasize innovation and encourage the creativity of artists and program organizers, utilizing modern performance technology.

Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh also emphasized that measures should be taken to prevent any misuse of these events, ensuring that they do not fall short of quality standards, violate regulations or traditional values, or negatively impact the cultural environment and the spiritual lives of the people.
On August 10, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh visited and encouraged the crew of the V Fest – Thanh Xuan Ruc Ro concert, who were rehearsing in the rain.
