Anh Trai's concert in the US 'beats' BLACKPINK, BTS, Kpop music is said to be out of date

Recently, the Anh Trai Say Hi concert in the US has created a storm, not only because of the artists' attraction but also because of the fans' willingness to spend. This event was even compared to "beating" BLACKPINK and BTS, sparking controversy about Kpop's passing and the rise of Vietnamese artists.

The two concert nights of Anh Trai Say Hi Day 7, Day 8 taking place on July 27 and 28 in Las Vegas (USA) are becoming the center of tremendous attention from the international media and fans. The Planet Hollywood Theater with a capacity of 7,000 spectators was filled on both nights, creating an unprecedented scene for a Vietnamese concert in the US. Most notably, the ticket price of this event "beat" BLACKPINK, BTS and Taylor Swift , causing many people to wonder: Is Kpop music gradually "out of date", giving way to the irresistible appeal of the Vietnamese Anh Trai group.

"Unprecedented record": Say Hi Brother's ticket price beats BLACKPINK, BTS right in the US

Anh Trai Say Hi's first concert in the US brought together 26 young artists from the program, names that are "making waves" in the Vietnamese entertainment industry such as HIEUTHUHAI , Quang Hung MasterD, Duong Domic, JSOL, ISAAC, etc. Male singer RHYDER could not help but proudly share that this concert was 20 times larger than his previous show in Las Vegas, showing the huge investment and ambition of the program to reach international level.

However, what shocked the public the most was the ticket price for this event. Right at the time of sale, the price caused fierce controversy, ranging from 150 USD to 2,500 USD (equivalent to 3.9 million to 65 million VND). The highest ticket class also comes with great incentives: taking photos and meeting the artist privately, a privilege that not every concert has.

It is worth noting that this price is even higher than the ticket price of BLACKPINK's recent concert at Citi Field (New York, USA), which was sold from 161 USD to 2,356 USD (about 4.2 million to 61 million VND). The world's top boy band BTS held the Permission to Dance On Stage - LA show at SoFi Stadium (Los Angeles, USA) in 2021 with prices ranging from 60-450 USD, including taxes and fees, ranging from 2-13.6 million VND. Meanwhile, the average ticket price for a Taylor Swift show on The Eras Tour in 2023 in the US is 254 USD (6.6 million VND), the average VIP ticket price is 550 USD (14.3 million VND).

This huge difference in ticket prices has made many people wonder: Is the appeal of Vietnamese artists surpassing that of international Kpop and pop icons right in the US? This also raises the question of whether Kpop music, which once dominated the international market, is gradually fading away, when Vietnamese artists are breaking out strongly and conquering global audiences?

Attracting tens of thousands of audiences, demonstrating the ambition to bring Vietnamese music to the world: "Anh Trai Say Hi" is making history.

Despite the controversial high ticket prices, with a large number of artists and a large fan base, this concert still quickly attracted tens of thousands of audiences in the US to hunt for tickets. On the social network Threads, many Vietnamese audiences living in the US continuously shared their flight itineraries to Las Vegas, willing to pay large sums of money to see the performances of their beloved Brothers. This shows that the appeal of young Vietnamese artists has not diminished even though the program ended nearly a year ago and has successfully held 6 concerts, selling hundreds of thousands of tickets domestically.

The fact that Las Vegas (USA) was chosen as the stop for Anh Trai Say Hi's first international concert is not only an important milestone but also demonstrates the ambition to bring Vietnamese music closer to international friends. This is a bold and ambitious step of the Vietnamese entertainment industry, showing that we are fully capable of competing and making a mark on the world music map. The outstanding success of this concert is not only the pride of Anh Trai Say Hi but also a positive signal for the development of Vietnamese music.
