Head In The Clouds Festival Announces 2025 Line-up with G-Dragon, 2NE1, and More
88rising is bringing Head In The Clouds Music & Arts Festival back to Los Angeles this summer, teaming up again with Goldenvoice for one of the most anticipated Asian-led festivals on the circuit.
The 2025 edition lands at Brookside at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California, across Saturday, May 31 and Sunday, June 1. Tickets go on sale Friday, February 7 at 11 a.m. PT, with payment plans available for a limited time.
After expanding globally with editions in New York City, Jakarta, Manila, and China, Head In The Clouds returns to its home base in Los Angeles. The festival continues to spotlight Asian music, food, and art, and has earned a reputation as a major platform for both rising and established talent.
This year’s lineup leans big. Headliners include G-Dragon, marking his only North American festival appearance of 2025, alongside K-pop icons 2NE1 and R&B standout Dean. DPR Ian, Rich Brian, and a DJ set from Porter Robinson add to the top tier, along with a long-awaited reunion from Higher Brothers. There’s also a mystery set titled “The Magic Show?!?” and a special 10-year anniversary finale from 88rising, expected to bring together artists from across the label’s roster.
Beyond the headliners, the lineup mixes K-pop, hip-hop, and R&B with artists like 4EVE, ARMNHMR, Bixby, DPR Artic, DPR Cream, Jonah Love, Karri, Milli, Miso, Number_i, PIAO, PISCEE, Seiji Oda, SF4AM, Stephanie Poetri, Sunkis, Tabber, WANG OK, Warren Hue, Xin Liu, Youha, Yung Kai, and YY.
Food remains a core part of the festival experience. This year’s curation is led by MAMA’S NIGHTMARKET, bringing together a range of Asian food vendors from across the diaspora.
The 2025 event also doubles as a milestone moment for 88rising, which is celebrating its 10-year anniversary. Over the past decade, the company has grown into a major force in music and media, helping push Asian artists into global spaces. Its roster includes Joji, Jackson Wang, NIKI, and Rich Brian, among others, and it has expanded into film and cultural projects, including work on Marvel’s Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings and the Sundance-premiering film Jamojaya.
Festival passes start at $300 for two-day general admission and $450 for VIP, with all fees included. For those looking for a more premium experience, the 1999 Club offers perks like a private entrance, air-conditioned lounge, dedicated viewing areas, and concierge service, with passes priced at $800.
Head In The Clouds is also contributing to local relief efforts. In partnership with the Rose Bowl Operating Company, Goldenvoice’s Pasadena festivals have donated $250,000 to the Eaton Fire Relief & Recovery Fund, supporting nonprofits responding to wildfire impacts in the area.
With a stacked lineup, a major anniversary, and its signature mix of culture and community, Head In The Clouds 2025 looks set to be one of the standout festivals of the summer.

All Things Go NYC Announce 2026 Lineup with Zara Larsson, Brandi Carlile, MUNA, Lola Young, Carly Rae Jepsen, and More
All Things Go Festival is heading back to Forest Hills Stadium this fall with one of its biggest New York lineups yet.
The festival announced the full roster for its third New York edition today, with headliners including Zara Larsson, Brandi Carlile, MUNA, Lola Young, and Carly Rae Jepsen. Larsson’s appearance marks her first-ever headline festival set.
Set across three days on Sept. 25, 26, and 27, the festival continues its tradition of mixing major pop acts with rising artists and internet favorites. The 2026 lineup features names like The Beaches, Rebecca Black, Cara Delevingne, CMAT, Jensen McRae, Hemlocke Springs, and Sienna Spiro. Comedian and musician Meg Stalter joins the lineup as one of the festival’s more unexpected additions.
Returning artist Lola Young teased her comeback in a statement, saying, “All Things Go, we have unfinished business. I feel blessed and ready to take it to the next level. Thank you for having me back.”
MUNA, longtime festival favorites, shared their excitement about returning to New York for a headlining slot, calling All Things Go “one of our favorite festivals to play” and joking, “let’s go, lesbians!”
Over the last few years, All Things Go has built a reputation for its fan-focused atmosphere and strong sense of inclusivity. Fans online have affectionately nicknamed the festival “Gay-chella,” “All Things Gay,” and “Lesbopalooza,” reflecting the event’s large LGBTQ+ fanbase and welcoming community vibe.
Tickets go on sale with a fan presale beginning Wednesday, May 20 at 10 a.m. ET, followed by the public onsale Thursday, May 21. Single-day tickets start at $99, with three-day passes starting at $225. More information here.
The New York announcement follows a busy stretch for the festival brand. Earlier this month, All Things Go unveiled the 2026 Washington, D.C. lineup at Merriweather Post Pavilion featuring artists like Hayley Williams, Mitski, and Brandi Carlile. Meanwhile, the Toronto edition is set for June 6 and 7 at RBC Amphitheatre with headliners including Lorde, Kesha, Wet Leg, and The Beaches.

All Things Go Toronto 2026 Reveals Daily Schedule Ahead of June Festival Weekend
All Things Go Toronto 2026 has officially shared the daily schedule for its 2026 edition, giving fans a closer look at how the weekend at RBC Amphitheatre will unfold on June 6 and 7.
The festival, which expanded into Toronto in 2025 after building a strong following in the United States, is bringing a lineup packed with indie pop, alternative, and rising Canadian talent. Doors for both days open at 2:00 p.m.
Saturday’s lineup is headlined by Kesha, who closes out the night with a set running from 9:30 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. Before that, hometown favourites The Beaches will take over the stage from 7:30 p.m. to 8:45 p.m. The day will also feature performances from Rachel Chinouriri, Holly Humberstone, Sofia Camara, and Bella Kay.
Sunday shifts into a more indie-rock-heavy close with Lorde headlining from 9:30 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. The lead-up includes a stacked evening featuring Wet Leg and Del Water Gap. Earlier in the day, fans can catch sets from Jade LeMac, MOMMA, and Flower Face.
The schedule reveal arrives after months of anticipation surrounding the festival’s Toronto return. Lorde’s appearance comes during a major stretch for the singer following renewed live activity and growing excitement around her next era, while Kesha continues her recent comeback run that has leaned into a more independent and celebratory direction onstage.
With set times now locked in, fans can officially start planning their festival weekend, whether that means camping out for barricade spots, bouncing between artists, or preparing for what could easily become one of Toronto’s biggest music weekends of the summer.
