This year’s concert showcased new features. Along with famous songs, many songs with rock style and folk sound were performed at the concert.
Singer Tung Duong was considered a big surprise within the programme, performing the song "Tam Hon Cua Da" (The Soul of Rock) by the late composer Tran Lap. From a rock song played with the band to a symphony orchestra, the performance can also be considered as the most groundbreaking and bold test of "Things forever" over ten past years.
In the vocal music section, the audience also listened to famous songs with the performances of singers such as Dang Duong, Trong Tan, Tung Duong, Dao Mac, Le Anh Dung, Dao To Loan, Pham Thuy Dung, Pham Khanh Ngoc, Duong Hoang Yen and Tran Hong Nhung.
In the instrumental music section, the organising board selected children's songs with the participation of the Choir of Hanoi Children's Palace and the Vietnam National Symphony Orchestra led by conductor Le Phi Phi.
The concert also featured the participation of artist Bui Cong Duy.
