After celebrating its 10th anniversary in Los Angeles last year, the Head In The Clouds Music & Arts Festival returns this August 8 with a new lineup of artists. This year’s event takes place at Brookside at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California. Big names like XG and KATSEYE headline the one-day-only festival.
