Rolling Loud, a major player in the music festival circuit, is shifting its U.S. Flagship event to Orlando, Florida, for the first time. The festival, scheduled for May 8 to 10, 2026, at Camping World Stadium, will be the only U.S. Edition of Rolling Loud that year.
A Fresh Venue and Vision
The move marks the complete of a decade-long run of Rolling Loud events centered in Miami. Organizers cited the accessibility of Orlando, with its lower-cost hotels and flights, as a key factor in the decision. They also expressed a desire for a venue that allows for future growth.
According to co-founder Matt Zingler, “Orlando felt like the right place to evolve the festival.” Co-founder Tariq Cherif added that the 2026 headliners “each represent different forces shaping Hip Hop right now,” and bringing them together for this event “felt intentional.”
Headliners and Rising Stars
The 2026 festival will be headlined by Playboi Carti, YoungBoy Never Broke Again and Don Toliver. Playboi Carti recently performed a two-and-a-half-hour set at Rolling Loud California 2025, which included a surprise appearance by The Weeknd. YoungBoy Never Broke Again will deliver his first headlining set at a Rolling Loud festival, coinciding with anticipation for his upcoming album, Slime Cry. Don Toliver is also building momentum toward his next release, OCTANE.
The lineup also includes established artists like Chief Keef, Destroy Lonely, and Sexyy Red, as well as rising acts such as EsDeeKid, fakemink, and Nettspend. Festival organizers have also teased “RL Week,” a series of events planned around the festival in Orlando, with further details to be announced.
International Expansion
Beyond Orlando, Rolling Loud has events planned internationally. The festival will take place in Sydney and Melbourne, Australia, on March 7 and 8, 2026, and is confirmed to return to India in November 2026.
