LAS VEGAS, Aug. 13, 2025 – In celebration of its 10th anniversary, RISE Festival, a desert celebration of light, sound, and soul featuring an all-star lineup of GRAMMY® winning headliners and inspiring visual artists, has partnered with Lonely Ghost, a culture-shaping streetwear brand, for a limited-edition capsule that blends fashion, ceremony, and emotional storytelling. The collaboration will drop in August through exclusive gifting. Complementing the capsule collection, RISE will mark the decade of shared memories and luminous skies, with the 10th anniversary festival merchandise line that will be available to guests attending this year’s festival.
“RISE is an immersive experience that encompasses living art installations and musical artists that complement the Sky Lantern Ceremony. This capsule collection is a wearable extension of that experience,” expressed RISE Art Director John Connors. “Lonely Ghost is rooted in the idea that fashion can foster genuine human connection, and ‘I Told the Sky About You’ will link our guests together before the first lanterns have lifted.”
Designed to complement RISE, the capsule collection merges elevated streetwear with poetic messaging and meaning. At the heart of the collection is the phrase: “I Told The Sky About You,” an ode to the Sky Lantern Ceremony. The defining ceremonial experience at RISE roots attendees in their hopes and dreams within a shared space, where they write on biodegradable lanterns and physically release stories into a constellation of light in the Mojave Desert sky.
“This collection embodies the ethos that we are all part of something greater,” said Creative Director of Lonely Ghost Bronson Christensen. “It reflects the duality that defines RISE: organization and organic, manmade and natural, control and release. These pieces are made for those who understand that light lives within us all, and that what we wear can say something real.”
In addition to the “I Told The Sky About You” capsule, RISE will debut a full 10th Anniversary Festival Merchandise Collection featuring limited-edition pieces that celebrate the milestone year. Guests can pre-purchase festival merchandise now through www.RISEfestival.com/merch and pick up their orders on-site at the festival. Merchandise will also be available for purchase in person throughout the event on Oct. 3rd, 4th, and 5th.
