The MTV EXIT (End Exploitation and Trafficking) has just announced a plan to bring a concert tour to Vietnam. The nationwide tour will kick off on March 27 with an “MTV EXIT Live in Hanoi” show which is a massive free concert at My Dinh Stadium in Tu Liem District. The event features top local singers such as Ha Anh Tuan, Pham Anh Khoa and Phuong Vy, as well as Korean megastars Super Junior and Australian pop star Kate Miller-Heidke.
MTV EXIT is a campaign which aims to increase awareness and prevention of human trafficking through television programs, online content, live events, and partnerships with anti-trafficking organizations.
MTV EXIT is produced by the MTV Europe Foundation in partnership with the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and the Australian Government’s Agency for International Development (AusAID).
After Hanoi, the tour continues to Halong Bay, Can Tho and Ho Chi Minh City, educating youth about the dangers of human trafficking.
The second concert will be held on April 3 in Halong Bay, Quang Ninh City. The tour then moves south to Can Tho City on April 10. The final event will be held in Ho Chi Minh City at QK7 Stadium on April 17, and is expected to draw more than 25,000 people.
American band The Click Five, recipients of the Knockout Award at the MTV Asia Awards, will headline the Ho Chi Minh City concert.
“It is my great honour to participate in the MTV Exit concert in Vietnam,” said Vietnamese famous rock singer Phạm Anh Khoa, “I hope to see more and more people join in such a meaningful social event. Human trafficking is happening everywhere and we are, more or less, all affected. I think that this event will help raise awareness and create a safer life for us."
According to Simon Goff, director of MTV EXIT, music has a great strength and influence on the behavior of people and they want to hold the concert throughout Vietnam to appeal to young people participating in the fight against human trafficking.
MTV EXIT has held 15 tours in Asian countries such as Laos, Thailand, Cambodia, Nepal, Taipei and the Philippines over the past two years.
