A New Home for a New Era of Rolling Loud
BY: JESSE ZAPATERO
After years of stops in Miami, Los Angeles, New York and beyond, Rolling Loud is starting a new chapter in Orlando. The festival’s co-founders, Matt Zingler and Tariq Cherif, emphasized that Orlando allows Rolling Loud to think bigger — more room to grow, more fans able to attend, and an opportunity to build its ultimate U.S. anchor event. Their vision is simple: bring the culture together in one place and deliver the most complete Rolling Loud experience yet.

From the beginning, Rolling Loud was rooted in South Florida’s DIY hip-hop ecosystem the two helped nurture through years of concert promotion — a scene often overlooked by the broader music industry at the time. What started in 2015 as a bold bet on live hip-hop has since turned into a global institution. Within five years the festival expanded from Miami to major hubs such as Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco and Australia, and within a decade it would reach countries including Portugal, the Netherlands, Germany, Austria, Canada, Thailand and India. Today Rolling Loud exists as much as a cultural engine as it is an event.
While the lineup has yet to be revealed, expectations are high given the festival’s history of headline-making moments worldwide. Rolling Loud California 2025 alone delivered some of its most memorable scenes to date, from Playboi Carti’s marathon two-and-a-half-hour headlining set, to Peso Pluma becoming the first Latin artist to headline a Rolling Loud festival, to A$AP Rocky making a dramatic helicopter entrance. The Orlando edition is positioned to carry that same sense of spectacle while highlighting the genre’s biggest names and amplifying the next wave of rising artists.
Rolling Loud’s reach will continue far beyond the United States in 2026. Rolling Loud heads to Sydney and Melbourne on March 7–8, 2026, marking the brand’s highly anticipated return to Australia for the first time since 2019 with headliners including Gunna and Ken Carson alongside Sexyy Red, Swae Lee, Tyga and more. The festival is also already confirmed to return to India in November 2026 after its massive 2025 debut drew 65,000 fans and a lineup featuring Central Cee, Wiz Khalifa, Don Toliver and Karan Aujla.
As always, Rolling Loud encourages fans to stay tuned as lineup announcements and additional experiences roll out in the coming months.
