The event opened with the record company's newest member, solo performer Souk, who performed three rock singles which he promised would be included on his upcoming album.

Pop star Nalin then sang some of her radio favourites, songs such as Vao Bar Bar (Why Do You Say That?).

Bringing the crowd to a standing ovation was girl band Princess, who didn't disappoint, despite a change in line-up since their last shows.

Another energetic songster, Sam, also greeted his fans with some of his well-known singles, including R&B hit Bok Hai Khoy Hou (Let Me Know), featuring a rapper from Lao Original Gangstarz (LOG) Alex.
