SAO Concert faces lineup changes and technical issues in Ho Chi Minh City

The SAO Concert, a large-scale music festival held on October 10 in Ho Chi Minh City, drew approximately 20,000 attendees for a 12-hour event featuring over 50 artists. Despite the scale and diverse musical offerings, the event faced several challenges.

Prior to the performance, the lineup was altered after SpaceSpeakers announced that Soobin, Binz, and Rhymastic would not participate due to unmet contractual conditions. The organizers issued an apology and offered ticket refunds to eligible customers.

During the event, technical difficulties including microphone and in-ear monitor issues affected several performers. Artists including KHOI VU and RHYDER issued apologies to fans in the early morning hours for the suboptimal listening experience. While some attendees praised the visual production and energy of certain acts, others expressed disappointment regarding the audio stability.
