The full lineup for highly anticipated hip hop festival, Rolling Loud Australia, has dropped.
Touching down for two one-day festivals on March 7th and March 8th, 2026, Rolling Loud is returning Down Under for the first time in six years. The renowned hip-hop festival made its Australian debut in 2019 with a lineup featuring the likes of Future, Lil Uzi Vert, Playboi Carti, Tyga, Smokepurpp, and local favourite Manu Crook$. It was due to make its long-awaited follow up last year, but mere weeks after announcing its return, the festival was indefinitely postponed.
With Gunna confirmed as a headliner and Sexyy Red already announced, the full lineup now expands with a massive mix of international heavy-hitters, rising talent, and homegrown talent, positioning this as one of the biggest and most anticipated hip-hop festival lineups in Australia.
American rapper and producer Ken Carson has been named as another headliner. Best known for his emo-rap and rage style, which blends trap music with elements of alt-rock, Carson first gained recogition through his Sound Cloud releases and collaborations. In 2019, he signed with Playboi Carti’s label Opium, and has since released several albums and singles, including 2023’s A Great Chaos and 2025’s More Chaos.
Joining them are the likes of Tyga, Swae Lee, Quavo, Rolling Loud mainstays like Ski Mask The Slump God, Lil TJay, Robb Bank$, rising stars Ian, Osamason, Rich Amiri, and many more.
Celebrating the depth and evolution of the Australian and New Zealand hip-hop scene, Rolling Loud Australia 2026 will also feature a dedicated stage in each city highlighting top regional talent.
Across Sydney and Melbourne, fans can expect performances from Hooligan Hefs, Youngn Lipz, Day1, Amarni, Lil Golo & Cult Shφtta, 4ourttune, Jonny Chopps, and others. While each city will feature select local-only performers, the core festival lineup will remain consistent across both shows.
General tickets are live and selling quickly, with prices rising as tiers sell out. Fans are encouraged to act fast!
