Organised by Son’s family and his friends, the event aims to celebrate the artist 16 years after his death. It will begin at 6pm on Nguyen Van Binh Street in District 1.  

At another event celebrating Son, a gala called "Joining Hands for Solidarity" will be held at Hue University of Medicine and Pharmacy in Hue. 

Working with the university, singer Trinh Vinh Trinh, Son’s younger sister, said the show would be a special experience.
