Rocker Anh Khoa exclaimed, “I’m proud and excited to be a part of the MTV EXIT campaign in Vietnam. I encourage everyone to attend these free concerts and be a part of history. Human trafficking happens all over the world and maybe just right under our noses. We are all affected one way or another. I hope the campaign will give everyone information to live safely.”
All concerts will be aired on VTV and YanTV. Tickets are free and delivered via various channels. For ticketing information, please go to www.mtvexit.org or www.hoahoctro.vn.
Concert footage will be used to produce a series of nationally-televised programs on YanTV, the campaign’s official music channel.
“We are thrilled to announce MTV EXIT Live in Viet Nam,” said MTV EXIT’s director, Simon Goff.
“The power and influence of music is a great force for change. By holding this concert tour across the country, we are harnessing this power; using it to inform and mobilise young people in the fight against human trafficking,” he added.
The MTV Exit (End Exploitation and Trafficking) concert series in Vietnam is part of the MTV EXIT campaign to fight human trafficking. MTV EXIT, which is produced by the MTV Europe Foundation in partnership with the US Agency for International Development and the Australian Government’s Agency for International Development, has held 15 concerts across Asia over the past two years, including Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Nepal, Taiwan and the Philippines.
MTV Exit Live in Vietnam is produced in partnership with USAID, AUSAID, Phibious, Campaign Solutions, An Thuan Media and XPRC.
