“Tối Thượng” expands The Flob’s vision through an inventive blend of rock and Vietnamese folk elements. Rich in ideas and standout moments, the album explores bold collaborations and historical inspiration, even as its shifting tones occasionally soften the cohesion of its broader narrative.
The Flob return with “TỐI THƯỢNG,” a genre-blending odyssey of dubstep, breakbeat, rock, and Vietnamese ethno sounds. Expanding their fictional universe while pushing sonic boundaries, the Saigon powerhouse marks a new high point ahead of their 2026 Đại Đồng tour.
Saigon’s rising rock band The Breeze make their official debut with “TÌM VỀ”. A confident single shaped through close-knit collaboration and clean, emotional songwriting. A gentle introduction to a young group ready to step into the city’s growing indie-rock landscape.
Saigon’s irihi return with “Covert,” a luminous new single tracing the band’s quiet evolution from late-night demos to fully formed emotion. Equal parts hope and solitude, the track marks the final step before their long-awaited debut EP arrives in early 2026.
Beyond The Verse was a night of pure, unfiltered noise! Five radically different, but still very similar bands sharing one stage as equals. From Fuko’s debut to Shallow Vessels’ trippy flow, Bedlam Royals’ post-metal crush, 7/4 Surfers’ hypnotic rhythms, and Skeleton Goode’s psychedelic climax, it was a raw, communal celebration of underground sound.
18.18 transformed a simple showcase into a sonic eruption. Giấy Gấp and Jaigon Orchestra weaving unexpected textures, and 18.18 closing out the night in thunderous style, Saigon’s independent scene rose loud, proud, and uncontainable.
Saigon’s indie heartbeat erupted inside Alibi as four contrasting acts—Sugary Serial, 7/4 Surfers, Navy, and Con Cá Điện—turned a small room into a charged, shape-shifting soundscape. From dream pop warmth to chaotic electric storms, the night showed how deeply live music can transform a space.
“Haretic Madness Revue” unfolded as a full‑day ritual of chaos and release — from meditative art installations to the cathartic explosion of live music by Sinister, Anesthetic Youth, Thỏ Trauma, Black Industry, and CHƠN. A visceral journey of sound, emotion, and self‑liberation through pure, unfiltered art.
From math-rock precision to post-hardcore chaos and Indonesian shoegaze serenity, Ngẩng Đầu Nhìn Trăng Sáng, Cúi Đầu Thấy Pề Đan gathered five acts under one moonlit roof. A night that showcased how far Vietnam’s underground has grown, and how alive it remains.
Despite the stormy start, School Fest 7: Next Dimension transformed a soaked dorm yard into a stage of energy and unity. From 18.18’s punchy pop-punk to Suboi and Thai VG’s explosive finale, the night proved music always finds its way.
