The event organizers announced the news on Thursday, according to Tuoi Tre Newspaper.

Tuan Hung announced in Sep. this year that he had been invited to perform at the event, which is set to take place in Las Vegas on Feb. 9, 2024 as a warm-up session for the 2024 Super Bowl – the American football championship game for the 2023 National Football League season.

One of the first artists invited by the show’s organizers, Tuan Hung, 45, is among the most successful pop singers in Vietnam with various hit songs.

For many years, the Super Bowl has been one of the most-viewed sporting events in the world and an important part of American culture. The Super Bowl warmup and halftime shows often garner great traction and trend quickly.

Serving as a promotional event for the 2024 Super Bowl, the Vegas LVIII Pregame Warm Up Event & Tet Celebration is expected to attract an estimated 10,000 attendees.

Various Vietnamese artists, including singer Hong Ngoc and rapper De Choat, are set to perform at the event.
