Trance Effect performs at HOZOMusic Tet Festival, Vietnam

Indian Pop rock band Trance Effect, hailing from Nagaland, closed out their 2025 live performance calendar with a standout performance at the HOZO Music Tet Festival on December 31, one of Vietnam’s largest and most anticipated music events.
Widely regarded as the biggest music festival in Ho Chi Minh City, the HOZO Music Tet Festival draws thousands of music lovers each year and showcases leading domestic and international acts.
Trance Effect’s appearance on the festival’s main stage marked a significant milestone for the band, both in scale and artistic impact, with one of the band member terming it as the largest stage Trance Effect has ever performed on.
The awe-inspiring setup, designed like a three to four storey structure, featured layered LED screens spanning the entire backdrop, creating a fully immersive visual experience for both the performers and the audience.
The crowd responded with overwhelming enthusiasm, describing the band’s sound as “young, fresh, and groovy”, while fan favourites “Overrated” and “More Love” emerged as highlights of the night, with “More Love” transforming into a powerful sing-along moment as the audience echoed every word back to the band.
While the HOZO Music Tet Festival marked Trance Effect’s final show of 2025, the band is set to perform next at the Mithun Festival in Laisong on January 8, 2026.
With a steadily growing international presence and an increasingly devoted live following, Trance Effect continues to cement their reputation as one of the most exciting emerging acts from the region.
