Monsoon Music Festival
Northern Vietnam · November 1–3, 2026
Hanoi's flagship indie and electronic festival, staged inside the Thang Long Imperial Citadel with local and regional acts.
About this event
The festival
Monsoon is Hanoi's flagship contemporary music festival, founded by guitarist Quoc Trung. The 2026 edition runs November 1–3 inside the Thang Long Imperial Citadel, mixing Vietnamese indie, rock, and electronic acts with regional and international guests.
What to expect
Multiple stages set against the ancient citadel walls, street-food vendors, and late-night sets under the stars. The lineup blends familiar Vietnamese names with emerging artists — expect crowds of young locals and expats.
Practical tips
Buy tickets online in advance; day passes and weekend bundles are usually available. The citadel is central — use ride-hailing or the metro's Cat Linh–Ha Dong line. Evenings cool down in November, so bring a light jacket.
