Simple Plan rocks against trafficking in Vietnam May 26

Upon the invitation from the End Exploitation and Trafficking Campaign (MTV EXIT), the popular Canadian rock band Simple Plan will perform at My Dinh National Stadium on May 26, 2025. Joining them is renowned Vietnamese singer My Tam, sure to elevate the concert experience.

While the details of the program have been kept under wraps until the show date, fans eagerly anticipate the performance of This Song Saved My Life, which was inspired by heartfelt messages from Simple Plan’s fans on social media.

Following tours in Japan, China, and Singapore, this will mark Simple Plan's first-ever appearance in Vietnam. Since their formation in 1999, the band has sold over 10 million albums worldwide, and their presence is expected to significantly raise awareness about human trafficking, which is the primary goal of this concert.

According to humantrafficking.org, Vietnam remains one of the countries most affected by human trafficking, with individuals subjected to both sexual and labor exploitation in various countries, including Taiwan, Malaysia, South Korea, Laos, the United Arab Emirates, Japan, China, Thailand, Saudi Arabia, Libya, Indonesia, the United Kingdom, the Czech Republic, Cyprus, Sweden, Trinidad and Tobago, Costa Rica, Russia, and several nations in the Middle East.

In recent years, Vietnam has seen an influx of international artists gracing its stages, including the Backstreet Boys, Westlife, and American Idol winners like David Cook and David Archuleta. These concerts have consistently sold out, contributing to Vietnam's emergence as an increasingly attractive destination for renowned international music acts.
