Kang Daniel KONNECT Entertainment / Sony Music Entertainment KoreaAs music continues to move into an online experience over concerns from the novel coronavirus, 88rising is shining the spotlight on some of Asia’s top talent talent and using Twitter to help boost them. The Asian hip-hop and pop collective announced the first details of its Asia Rising Forever festival. 88rising described the venture as “an online festival celebrating the most exciting Asian talent from around the world.” The festival will stream live on 88rising’s Twitter account next month. Plus, Asia Rising Forever comes at an ideal time when 88rising was meant to have a major festival moment at Coachella 2020 this year with their mysterious-but-hyped-up "Double Happiness” that likely would have put a major spotlight on Asian talent at the year’s first major music festival. Asia Rising Forever festival streams live on Twitter on May 6 at 9:00PM ET on Twitter.com/88rising.
