Speaking at the event, Mr. Le Quoc Minh, Editor-in-Chief of Nhan Dan Newspaper said: “With Secret Garden, it took us 2 years to arrange the schedule to perform in Vietnam. This is also the first destination in the tour celebrating the 30th anniversary of the band's founding.”
Sharing at the press conference, artist Fionnuala Sherry - a member of Secret Garden - expressed her joy at coming to Vietnam for the first time. She said that both of them have known about the love of Vietnamese audiences for a long time and have dreamed of having the opportunity to perform here.
“Now our dream has come true. From the moment we landed at Noi Bai airport, we felt the warmth and friendliness of the Vietnamese people. We were deeply moved by such a warm welcome,” Fionnuala confided.
The artist also expressed her happiness at being able to participate in a music project with profound social meaning. “We hope to be able to make a small contribution through music to bring good things to the Vietnamese people,” she said.

At the meeting, artist Rolf Løvland also shared: “We are very excited about our first performance in Vietnam. When posting information about the tour on our fanpage, many Vietnamese audiences sent greetings and expressed their love for our music.
That makes us feel a special connection, even though we have never been here. Vietnam brings its own inspiration, and we want to show that appreciation through deep and memorable performances.”
Artist Rolf Løvland also said that in Norway, they regularly follow news about Vietnam, especially information about natural disasters and floods. Therefore, when he learned that the program aimed at meaningful community activities, he felt this was a great opportunity to spread love and share through music with the Vietnamese people.
