As one of the RoK's top hip-hop artists, LOCO will bring several of his big hits to the event, including “Hold Me Tight”, “Too Much”, and “Some”.

The music festival will also feature performances by eight Vietnamese singers, namely SUBOI, Karik, Andree Right Hand, Wren Evans, Tlinh, Quang Hung MasterD, Duong Domic, and WXRDIE.

GENfest organised by MMUSIC made its successful debut in November 2023, aiming to introduce young talented Vietnamese artists to the international market and to serve as a vibrant culture hub for cultural exchanges to take place.

With over 35,000 participants, the two-day event last year featured a wide range of entertainment activities, including musical performances, art exhibitions, fashion, culinary delights, as well as outdoor games. It provided a platform for young individuals to enjoy high-quality music performances and engage in various cultural experiences.
