When water, bass, and thousands of lively festival-goers meet, something unforgettable is created. Vietnam's Water Bomb Festival 2025 delivers exactly that: a two-day, soak-and-shake party of K-pop, EDM, hip-hop, and all-out water warfare. Imagine foam parties but multiplied, amplified, and hosed, cannoned and stage-stormed. The festival takes place in Ho Chi Minh City (Van Phuc City) over two days — Nov 15–16, 2025 — and is one of the year's noisiest, wettest, and most photogenic music carnivals.
Where is the Waterbomb Festival 2025?
If you've been looking for where the Waterbomb Festival 2025 is happening, the Vietnamese leg is at Van Phuc City, Ho Chi Minh City. The local official sites and events calendar have the two-day setup and the whole roster (from Kwon Eun-bi to Jay Park), so you can plan out who you want to catch in between water fights.
The Vibe - What do People do at Waterbomb?
Essentially, the festival is half concert and half interactive water park. Expect:
- Live multi-stage performances by headlining DJs and K-pop/hip-hop acts.
- Water battles (teams in their respective colors — bring the heat).
- Massive water cannons, foam explosions, and programmed "waterbomb moments" when the stage is converted into a splash zone.
- Pool parties, chill out zones, and branded experiences (photo booths, merchandise booths) on location.
- Food and drink village, VIP day beds, and showering facilities so you can dry off and get back in the action.
In short, what do people do at Waterbomb? Dance, soak, sing along, and do it all again, switching between front-of-stage fandom and full participation in the event's fun water battles.

Rain, Storms, and Refunds — What if it Rains at Waterbomb?
A practical and unavoidable question: What if it rains at Waterbomb?
At many Waterbomb events worldwide, the festival is generally a rain-or-shine event. A record is taken of the weather, and the program is generally continued even in light rain (the water effects in the show make most weather irrelevant).
Only in the case of severe storms or dangerous weather will organizers postpone or cancel; by-city policies vary, but official FAQs and local organizers advise that normal rain will not quench the party. If cancellation is due to weather that threatens safety, refund/transfer information will be announced by the local organizer and ticketing partner.
Dress Code - What to Wear to Waterbomb?
There isn't a strict, prohibitive dress code; rather, go for functional festival swimwear. Patrons typically wear:
- Quick-dry clothes, swimwear, rashguards, or light t-shirts.
- Team colours (most visitors match up with the festival's team themes).
- Limited accessories (no heavy jewelry), waterproof phone pouches, and goggles or sunglasses to protect eyes.
- Drainable yet robust shoes (water sandals are the rage).
Organizers advise bringing an extra change of clothes and using available changing facilities. Quick-drying materials and comfort are emphasized by the majority of style guides and previous participants. It's a fashion statement that doubles as PPE for your gear.
Food, Bags, and What You Can Bring in
A short answer to "Can you bring in food to Waterbomb?" would be no, outside food and drink (other than approved bottled water) are usually not allowed.
The majority of Waterbomb festivals have bag checks, prohibit outside food/drink (to enable on-site F&B stalls and security), and will confiscate prohibited items, so plan to buy on-site from the festival F&B village or else eat in advance. Check the local FAQ for some small exceptions (like sealed bottles of water allowed), but be prepared to buy on-site.
Who is the Waterbomb Queen?
The waterbomb queen is somewhat pop culture, somewhat social buzz. Fans usually refer to artists performing sets that are show-stopping or becoming viral as the "Waterbomb Queen," and for the 2025 Ho Chi Minh lineup, Kwon Eun-bi is centrally featured on Day 1 and has been referred to, in media coverage and fanisphere, as a recurring "Queen of Waterbomb" act because of her highlight-reel performances and festival atmosphere. That mix of headline potential and spectacle tends to deserve artists that unofficial status among fanbases.
Safety & Tips at a Water-Oowered Festival
- Pack a waterproof phone cover and an emergency powerbank (paid charging will usually be an option).
- Take your valuables home; use lockers if they are available.
- Wear clothes that dry quickly and goggles; avoid heavy jewelry.
- Eat food and drink out there (outside items normally not allowed).
Last Splash: Why Come?
If you like live music but are not opposed or actually enjoy getting wet, Water Bomb Festival 2025 Vietnam is a hybrid: a concert, a city-wide water war, and a full-on sensory overload all rolled into one. Whether you're in for the headliners, the team battles, the photo ops, or just the communal, goofy exuberance of a city-wide splash party, it's an experience to be remembered, drowned, and loud.
