JAKARTA - The Head in the Clouds Festival 2025 was successfully held lively in Los Angeles, California. The event, which was held on May 31 - June 1, closed with a speech that made me excited.

Before the festival ended, Sean Miyashiro founder 88rising invited the audience to remember one of his talents and friends, August 08. The owner of Ray Davon Jacobs died on August 28, 2023, surprising many parties, including fans.

August 08 has been part of the 88rising and Head in the Clouds journey that has been going on for the past 10 years. Rich Brian led the stage action by inviting the audience to sing the final song, Midsumer Madness.

Sean, who joined the artists, thanked him for the success of this year's Head in the Clouds. That's where he expressed his love for August 08.

"Thank you to those of you who made this event a success. You are the reason we made all of this. Love you, August 08. 88rising forever!" he said.

Apart from August 08, the song Midsumer Madness is also very synonymous with JOJI. However, the Japanese singer has been absent for a long time, making the mainstay song at the end of the event a bit different.

Fans expressed their longing for the full version of the Midsumer Madness formation on social media. But they also appreciate 88rising for consistently making endless excitement through the Head in the Clouds festival.
