After a six-year hiatus, hip-hop music festival Rolling Loud is officially back in Australia.
The 2026 lineup officially dropped on Nobember 20, 2025 and if it’s anything to go by, the 2026 edition is set to be pretty explosive.
The global hip-hop festival returns for two one-day events, taking over Sydney’s Centennial Park on 7 March and Melbourne’s Flemington Racecourse on 8 March.
Headlining the festival are Gunna and Ken Carson, both billed as exclusive for Australia/New Zealand.
Joining them are rap heavyweights like Sexyy Red, Tyga, Swae Lee, Lil Tjay, NLE Choppa, Quavo, Ski Mask the Slump God, iAN, Osamason, and Rich Amiri.
Beyond US stars, the festival has also given real space to local Australian and New Zealand talent.
Artists like Hooligan Hefs, Youngn Lipz, Day1, Amarni, Lil Golo & Cult Shφtta, 4ourttune, Jonny Chopps, Skai IsYourGod, YNG Martyr, and Sxmpra are all lined up to bring homegrown energy to the stages.
Rolling Loud co-founders Matt Zingler and Tariq Cherif said they’re “thrilled to finally bring Rolling Loud back to Australia.”
“The energy from Sydney in 2019 was unforgettable, and this time we’re expanding that experience with shows in both Sydney and Melbourne.
“Australia has always shown real love for Rolling Loud, and we can’t wait to deliver something special for the fans Down Under.”
