A standout feature of the 2025 edition is the combination of technology and art to create a multi-sensory experience. Nearly 1,000 drones will form a dazzling light matrix in the sky, synchronized with surround-style fireworks. This innovative approach aims to redefine the large-scale music festival experience, setting a new benchmark for the industry.
Since its inception in 2018, VAC has become a flagship event in China’s electronic music scene, touring cities such as Wuhan, Haikou, Hefei, and now Hengqin. With its mission to fuse technology and art, the festival continues to bridge the gap between youth culture in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and global music trends.
