In a backstage moment revealed exclusively by Billboard on September 28, 2019, Sean Miyashiro elaborated on the purpose of the Head in the Clouds festival, stating:

"I could easily get emotional right now. The fact that we can bring all of these people together — it’s so diverse. To see everyone enjoying this experience together, that’s the purpose of Head in the Clouds."

Sean Miyashiro is the founder of 88rising, the hip-hop collective and label that manages the Heads in the Cloud festival. The festival was first founded in 2018, with the first two editions being held in Los Angeles and featuring a lineup consisting of artists such as Anderson.Paak, Rich Brian, Joji, and Higher Brothers, among others.

In 2020, the festival was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic and replaced with a free concert. In 2021, the festival returned and was held in Pasadena, bringing along a lineup consisting of Japanese Breakfast, UMI, Joji, and Nikki, among others.

Head in the Clouds was expanded in 2022 to include three editions, with the US edition held in Pasedena and featuring artists such as Mxmtoon, Jackson Wang, Jay Park, and more.

Alongside the US edition, 2022 also saw Head in the Clouds feature editions in Jakarta, Indonesia, and Manila, the Philippines. These editions featured artists such as Nikki, Yoasabi, Ylona Garcia, Joji, and more. In 2023, the festival returned to a US-only format, with editions in New York City and Pasedena.
