“For the past year, we’ve watched our fans step outside of their comfort zones and persevere through weird times,” Dante DiPasquale, BUKU’s co-creator, offered in a statment. “PLANET B is the result of us being inspired by them to do the same, and all of us at Team BUKU are excited to finally party with them again.”
It isn’t all about jamming out at BUKU: Planet B as the BUKU will add on to its Social Responsibility Commitment and has partnered with Upbeat Academy to launch their Take Action Project, which has already put together three successful campaigns that lent support to social justice and environmental programs.
