The renowned hip-hop festival, Rolling Loud, is preparing for its sole United States engagement in 2026, featuring an impressive lineup of headliners including Playboi Carti, YoungBoy Never Broke Again, and Don Toliver. This highly anticipated event, scheduled from May 8th to 10th, will transform Orlando, Florida's Camping World Stadium into a vibrant hub for music enthusiasts, promising an unforgettable experience with over 70 additional artists gracing the stage.
Rolling Loud co-founder Matt Zingler articulated that the 2026 festival signifies a fresh beginning for the organization. He highlighted Orlando as the ideal location for this evolution, citing the new city and venue as perfect backdrops for a lineup that truly mirrors the current landscape of hip-hop music. Zingler emphasized the festival's commitment to honoring the diverse facets of hip-hop culture while ensuring the event remains affordable for attendees, with general admission tickets starting at $279 and VIP passes at $599.
Tariq Cherif, also a co-founder of Rolling Loud, echoed this sentiment, describing the artist selection as a powerful declaration. He noted that the headliners—Playboi Carti, YoungBoy Never Broke Again, and Don Toliver—each represent distinct and influential forces within contemporary hip-hop. Bringing these artists together for the festival's exclusive U.S. date in 2026 was a deliberate choice, underscoring Rolling Loud's eleven-year tradition of prioritizing cultural authenticity, fostering emerging talent, and creating a sense of community that fans can genuinely embrace.
Beyond its upcoming U.S. stop, the Rolling Loud World Tour is extending its reach internationally. Upcoming events include stops in Sydney and Melbourne, Australia, on March 7th and 8th, 2026, featuring headliners Gunna and Ken Carson, alongside performances by Sexyy Red, Swae Lee, Tyga, Ski Mask The Slump God, Ian, and Osamason. Additionally, the festival successfully launched its debut in India in November 2025, drawing 65,000 fans to witness sets from prominent artists such as Central Cee, Wiz Khalifa, Don Toliver, and Karan Aujla, further solidifying Rolling Loud's global presence in the hip-hop scene.
This single U.S. edition of the Rolling Loud Festival is poised to be a landmark event, showcasing a blend of established and rising hip-hop talents. The organizers' focus on cultural celebration, fan accessibility, and a thoughtfully curated lineup underscores their dedication to evolving the festival while staying true to its roots.
