LIVE BANDS

Our three returning favourites — the sound of VLX 2027.

Tokyo, Japan

All the way from Tokyo — “we play swing jazz for swing dancers.” The quartet are back for VLX 2027.

Vocal Spotlight · with the AGSQ

Hoanh lit up VLX 2026 with non-stop energy — a voice the whole floor fell for. Back for VLX 2027.

Đà Nẵng, Vietnam

Our own local favourite — HAT Jazz brings the heart and soul of Đà Nẵng's jazz scene. Back for VLX 2027.

Where we dance

Palm Garden Resort — our home for VLX 2027.

A beachfront resort minutes from Hội An Ancient Town — and the venue for every evening dance, the gala dinner and the late-night sessions, so the dancing runs until 3am, rain or shine. A big VLX favourite back in 2026.


Accommodation offer

Special VLX rates at Palm Garden (varies by room type). Reserve directly with the resort via this form — no payment now; their team checks availability and emails or WhatsApps you to confirm.

Limited availability, first come first served — March is Hội An's high season, so book early.

A room at Palm does not include a VLX spot — the two are booked separately. Please read the resort's terms before you reserve.

Questions & answers

The Reader Asks

When and where is VLX 2027?

Friday 19 – Sunday 21 March 2027, in Hội An, Vietnam. The exact venues for each dance are being confirmed and will be published here as soon as they are locked in.

When does registration open, and how much is a pass?

Early bird is sold out, so regular passes are open now — until they run out. Group registration has closed (all 10 groups filled). See the Registration section above for pass prices.

Which dance styles can I expect?

Mainly Lindy Hop, with dedicated late-night sessions loved by Balboa and Blues dancers. DJs and live bands play across all three nights.

How do I get there?

Fly into Da Nang International Airport (DAD), roughly a 40-minute drive from Hội An. We will share ride-coordination tips and private-car options closer to the event.

Where should I stay?

Stay at Palm Garden Resort, our home for the whole weekend — VLXers get special rates on three room types. You can reserve directly with the resort through the link in the Venue section (no payment now; it's a request, not an instant booking). Availability is limited and first come, first served. Prefer somewhere else? We've also curated a list of nearby stays in the same section.

Does booking a room at Palm Garden guarantee my spot at VLX?

No. Your room is booked with the resort; your spot at VLX is booked with us, and the two are separate. A room does not guarantee a place on the dance floor. Please read the resort's terms and conditions before you reserve.

What is the cancellation policy?

See our full Terms & Conditions. In short: VLX does not offer refunds, but passes can be transferred to another dancer within the stated deadline.

My question is not answered here.
