After 20 years of performing, Epik High has a huge fan base in Asia in particular and the world in general. Coming to Vietnam on this occasion, the members of Epik High (including Tablo, Mithra Jin and DJ TuKutz) all expressed their excitement and promised to "bring the most explosive performances from their Worldtour to the Vietnamese audience".
"Hay fest" season 2, besides Epik High, also has the participation of the legendary boyband leader Boyzone - singer Ronan Keating. This is the first time Ronan Keating brings his entire band and performs a show exclusively for Vietnamese audiences - to relive Ronan and Boyzone's top hits over the decades.
If Epik High is the "religion" of Gen 2 Kpop - a typical representative of the Hallyu wave (the wave of promoting Korean culture), then Ronan Keating is a bright European and American star who was recorded in the Guinness Book of World Records with 30 consecutive times entering the top 10 singles in the UK.

Performing on stage with foreign stars are Vietnamese female rappers - Suboi, Justatee and representatives of different music genres from Ballad, Pop, Rock, Rap to Indie such as Microwave, Trung Quan, Chillies, Hoang Dung, MCK, Mademoiselle & FLOYD THURSBY, GiGi Huong Giang, Vinh Khuat, Thinh Suy, Vu Thanh Van, Osad, Buitruonglinh, Minh, Minh Dinh, KayC, Machiot, Mau Nuoc Band.
Originating from the desire to bring back youthful musical memories to Vietnamese audiences of the 8X - 9X generation, "Hay fest" was born in 2022 with the first step called "Brilliant Youth". The appearance of 4 legendary European - American boybands, The Moffatts, 911, A1, Blue... performing with 21 talented artists and bands of contemporary Vietnamese music, left a mark and beautiful memories for more than 10,000 audiences and the organizers of "Hay Fest" season 1.
When Charlie Puth had a great performance at the "8Wonder" concert (Nha Trang), the public expected many other stars to appear. On forums, netizens suggested a series of singers for the "8 Wonder" concert organizers to consider for the next seasons. They are Taylor Swift, Beyonce, Adele, Justin Bieber, The Weeknd, Coldplay, Maroon5, Billie Eilish or G-Dragon, BlackPink, BTS (after completing their military service); or maybe Ariana Grande returning to Vietnam after a failed performance in 2017.
According to insiders, the Vietnamese music scene is becoming an attractive destination for foreign stars. The proof is "Hay fest" season 2 with many foreign stars waiting for the opening day. Therefore, after the great success of "8 Wonder" season 1, it is completely possible to expect "8 Wonder" to return next season and become an annual music festival. It will be even more attractive if each season of "8 Wonder" has the participation of a big star with many hits familiar to Vietnamese audiences.
