The “MetaMoon Music Festival” is returning to Brooklyn, New York later this year with a special two-day event, in partnership with the Roc Nation School of Music, Sports & Entertainment.
Taking place on the last weekend of September across the 27th and 28th, there will be a conference on Asian artists and representation in the music industry, followed by the festival itself which celebrates Asian/AAPI talent and pop culture, respectively.
Global K-pop superstars Eric Nam and Henry Lau will be headlining the “MetaMoon Music Festival” with the latter making his solo performance debut in the United States at the concert.
Meanwhile rising artists including Chinese-American pop musician Emei and Taiwanese-American R&B singer SUNKIS round out the festival line-up.
We are excited to bring MetaMoon back to Brooklyn for two incredible days spotlighting Asian/AAPI artists and pop culture, and to give our fans the chance to see their favorite artist live. We are grateful to partner with the Roc Nation School of Music, Sports & Entertainment to continue our mission of amplifying the voices of Asian/AAPI talent, not just on stage, but in the boardroom as well, which starts in the classroom.
