MetaMoon Music Festival
The MetaMoon Music Festival, a single-day festival and cultural experience to celebrate the Asian American diaspora which is founded by Hong Kong-based Graceful Media and produced in partnership with Live Nation. Its mission is to bridge the gap between Asia and the United States and show that music is a universal language since the underrepresentation of Asian community in American entertainment.
Graceful Media set out to create a platform in the United States for Asian and Asian American artists, to have a space where their fans can connect and celebrate while discovering new music and artists. The large Asian-American population made Barclays Center the perfect host venue for the festival.
“There is a great need for stronger Asian representation in pop culture and in the media, and the mission of MetaMoon Music Festival is to give artists the ability to shine from a prominent stage, in the heart of Brooklyn. Now more than ever, music is truly a global language, and talent, no matter where they come from, will resonate with fans across cultures if given the opportunity to share their passion and creativity.”
– Grace Chen, Founder of Graceful Media

More artists and special guests are expected to be announced and MC Jin will be hosting the evening. Tickets go on sale to the public on Friday, July 15 at 10 a.m. EST and can be purchased online.
