American singer Bob Dylan, who became famous for his anti-war songs during the Vietnam War, is perform in the Communist country for the first time.

Promoter Rod Quinton said Dylan will sing at an 8,000-capacity university stadium in the southern commercial hub of Ho Chi Minh City next month.

Mr Quinton said organisers are expecting the concert on April 10 to sell out to a mixed crowd of Vietnamese and foreigners of all ages.

General admission tickets are priced at 900,000 dong (31 euros), slightly higher than Vietnam's monthly minimum wage, while VIP tickets are 2.5 million dong (86 euros).
