On Wednesday morning, numerous groups of workers were actively working at the construction site. Mr. Tran Xuan Hung, the Head of the construction subcommittee, stated that the overall progress of the DIFF 2025 main stage and viewing stands is on schedule. Currently, the main structure of the stands is approximately 85% complete, and it is expected that all installation work and safety inspections will be finished by May 28.

The main stage area has also seen the completion of its basic components, and the team is now focusing on installing lighting and sound systems, LED screens, and other auxiliary technical systems. All items are scheduled to be completed before May 29 to ensure readiness for the rehearsal night on May 30 and the opening ceremony on May 31.

This year’s main stage is 60% larger than last year’s, featuring a mechanical lifting dome and a modern LED system. While the project requires advanced technology and close coordination among multiple departments, the team has meticulously prepared both the construction plan and personnel coordination thanks to many years of experience from previous DIFF events.

This morning, Mr. Huynh Nam Thang, the Vice Chairman and General Director of Sun Group Central Region, inspected the construction site and encouraged the technical team to stay focused and ensure timely progress. He noted that this year’s main stage includes many new features compared to previous years.

DIFF 2025 has the theme “Da Nang – The New Rising Era,” and this year’s main stage is designed to symbolise that spirit. Inspired by the unique natural beauty of Da Nang, the stage will recreate the majestic image of Marble Mountains by the ocean. The centerpiece will feature a shining pearl, representing the city’s strong aspiration to rise and constantly innovate along the Han River.

The image of mountains and waves symbolises harmony and solidarity, reflecting the message of a “new era” that DIFF 2025 aims to share with both locals and tourists. In addition to showcasing spectacular fireworks performances, DIFF 2025 is set to host vibrant music festivals. To enhance this experience, this year’s stage will be open and twice as wide as it was in 2024, making it one of the most magnificent stages in the 15-year history of the festival.
