6th CAMA Festival to take Hanoi music scene by storm

Vietnam’s iconic annual music event is set to light up the capital of Hanoi on Saturday, June 7, 2025, at the American Club located at 19 - 21 Hai Ba Trung Street, Hanoi. Attendees can expect a dynamic lineup featuring rock, hip hop, reggae, and electronic music acts.

This year’s festival promises an impressive roster of international talent. Among the 2025 performers will be Electric Eel Shock, the pioneering Japanese metal band; Carsick Cars, a staple of the Chinese punk rock scene; Turbo Goth, a renowned Filipino electronic duo likened to Björk; and Poubelle International, a three-piece band that has made waves in the Hong Kong indie music scene. The lineup will also include Akil the MC, a hip-hop icon from Jurassic 5, alongside MC Hydrophonics, one of Asia’s brightest emerging hip-hop artists, and the turntable virtuoso DJ Tech 12.

The festival's organizers remain committed to nurturing and showcasing local Vietnamese talent as well. Homegrown rock band Gỗ Lim, the reggae group Zamina based in Hanoi, and electronic act Machete.Sex.Mix will contribute to a day brimming with entertainment and enjoyment.

In addition to enhancing the quality and diversity of the music lineup, the CAMA Festival organizers strive to improve entertainment options and customer service. Festival-goers can look forward to a range of engaging activities, from therapeutic massages and handicrafts to face painting and children's games. A selection of five restaurants will offer everything from traditional Vietnamese cuisine to burgers and fries, along with locally-produced ice cream and a café. This eclectic mix of entertainment and food options ensures that every attendee has a memorable experience at the festival.

Founded in 2008, the CAMA Festival is Hanoi’s first all-day independent music event that provides a platform for young Vietnamese artists to explore international music styles that were previously less accessible. Its success has inspired the establishment of other music festivals across Vietnam, including Soundfest in Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi Soundstuff. CAMA Festival also upholds a tradition of charitable contributions, supporting various organizations dedicated to meaningful causes.
