Monsoon Music Festival (MMF) has become a frequent rendezvous for music lovers and art enthusiasts since 2014. The music event with hours of live performances by renowned and promising artists from Vietnam and around the world attracts tens of thousands of spectators every year.

In addition to the ambition of becoming an influential festival in the capital city, Monsoon also aims at getting regarded as an inspirational music event. Thus, the festival has chosen “traffic culture” to be its theme for the next five years with the desire to use music and the enjoyment of music to influence people’s traffic behaviors.

After being held successfully for 3 years, Monsoon Music Festival returns this year with the participation of talented artists from around the world. Besides Lost Frequencies, this year’s Monsoon Music Festival also features other artists such as Dong Hung, Ngot, Da Lab (Vietnam), Biuret (Korea), Bud (England), Chris Minh Dory & The Electric Nomads (Denmark), and many others.

During the 3 days of the event (November 10-12), popular music genres such as Indie Rock, Indie Pop, Pop, R & B, Jazz, and EDM will be featured to the spectators. This year’s special guest is Lost Frequencies, a name no stranger to music lovers.

Felix De Laet, better known as Lost Frequencies, is an accomplished musician in the international music scene. The hit “Are You With Me” (released in 2014) quickly established Lost Frequencies as one of the most favored electronic musicians in recent years. The song garnered platinum status as well as No. 1 in 18 countries around the world. Lost Frequencies is also the first Belgian artist to have five singles topping the Belgian “Ultratop” official music chart and the first Belgian artist to reach No. 1 on UK’s official music chart.

In 2016, he went on to release his debut album “Less Is More” with Armada, Armin Van Buuren’s famous record label, which resonated globally and displayed him as a future star. With his successes, Lost Frequencies won not only the “Breakthrough Artist’ award at the 2015 Red Bull Elektropedia Awards, but also the “International Dance Song” and “Song of the Year” awards at the ECHO Awards (similar to the US Grammy Awards), surpassing Adele at Germany’s most important music awarding event.

This year’s Monsoon Music Festival is expected to brings spectators not only music, but also performances from prominent artists with extremely sophisticated staging and production. The event will also provide a space for spectators of many generations to relax and enjoy a unique cultural community experience.
