Tiger Translate Growth will feature Swedish rock band Tantrum to Blind, who will be performing in the country for the first time.

Founded in 2008, the four-member band formed at the Stockholm Conservatory of Music. Known for their energetic live performances, the band blasts audiences with music that is imbued with intellect and raw emotion.

The band was selected as "Artist of the Month" in January by leading Swedish telecom company Comviq.

Vietnamese rock bands UnlimiteD and Oringchains will be also sharing the stage during the Friday night show.

HCM City's UnlimiteD has played in several large venues across Viet Nam since 2003. In 2007, the band voted as the country's ‘Most Favourite Band' at Tiger Translate – Rock Your Passion, a contest for rock band nationwide.

The band released its debut album Tai Sinh (Reborn) in the same year, which received positive reviews.

The capital's Oringchains formed in December 2009 and released their debut album this year. The band implements both rock and electronic music into their compositions.

While the bands perform on stage, eight contemporary Vietnamese and international artists will "paint trees", which are actually large-size panels that will be set up in the venue.

Before the show, the artists will finish a 30m-long giant painting alongside the wall of the Hoa Lo museum.
