The March 10 show, set to last 4 hours featuring 36 songs, will be held at the City National Grove of Anaheim in California. Thanh Thao said she was organizing the concert to show her appreciation of fans in the U.S. "Throughout the 25 years, I have had a lot of live shows in Vietnam," Thao said. "This time I want to show appreciation for the audience in the U.S, where I have performed for 12 years and received a lot of love, but have held no grand show there."
