Since its first launch in 2001, European Music Festival has captured attention of Vietnamese people, especially Vietnamese musical fans.

Solo artists, duo, trio and big bands will deliver different genres of music, ranging from engaging jazz melodies to great classic, contemporary as well as Vietnamese traditional music.

Vietnam’s musical representative in European Music Festival 2015 is Hac San Band, who has been putting forward the idea of creating a unique and bold blend of thrilling western heavy metal and Vietnamese exquisite traditional music. Since its official debut in 2013, the band has achieved tremendous success in its music career, namely “Rock Song of 2014” Title given by VNROCK magazine, “Best Arrangement Musician” Award for their 3 songs and notably, “Best Arrangement Musician of 2014” Award in prestigious “Vietnamese Songs” competition.
