Head In The Clouds Brought Asian Excellence To NYC

See photos from the festival’s inaugural NYC event.

In the last seven or so years, 88 Rising has become more than just a record label; it’s become a movement championing the best Asia and Asian America has to offer. This past weekend in New York, the label’s homegrown festival Head In The Clouds made its landing at Forest Hills Stadium — incidentally just in time for AAPI month. See photos of the ecstatic performances from Raveena, Rich Brian, XG, ITZY, DPR Ian, and more, ahead.
