Partnering with 88rising this year are event promoters GoldenVoice and The Bowery Presents. 88rising will also donate $1 per ticket to nonprofit Heart of Dinner, which addresses food insecurity and isolation experienced by Asian seniors — two issues that have been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Registration for the Queens event will start today at 10 a.m. ET. Pre-sale registration will begin on March 17 at 10 a.m. ET, while general registration will start on March 20 at 10 a.m. ET.
