Rolling Loud is officially bringing its flagship U.S. festival back to the summer. The world’s largest hip-hop festival has announced Rolling Loud 2026, set to take place May 8–10, 2026, at Camping World Stadium in Orlando, Florida. The Rolling Loud Orlando event will stand as the ONLY festival in the United States in 2026, with the full lineup expected to be revealed soon.
For more than a decade, Rolling Loud has served as one of the most important platforms in global hip-hop culture, delivering genre defining moments across four continents. Wherever the festival lands, it continues to position itself as a home for both the genre’s biggest stars and its next wave.
Rolling Loud Orlando: A Return to Summer and a New U.S. Home
Rolling Loud Orlando marks a deliberate shift back to a summer schedule and a new U.S. location. By moving the festival away from South Florida, the brand is planting its flag in a market built for large scale festivals. With its infrastructure accessibility and ability to support tens of thousands of traveling fans, Orlando provides the space needed to build what Rolling Loud calls its definitive U.S. experience.
Festival organizers have described the move as the beginning of a fresh chapter. With the lineup still under wraps, Rolling Loud Orlando 2026 is expected to maintain its tradition of spotlighting hip hop’s biggest names while continuing to elevate emerging artists who represent where the culture is headed next.
Rolling Loud Leadership on the 2026 Vision
Rolling Loud Co Founder and Co CEO Matt Zingler explained that the decision to return to summer and relocate was rooted in long term growth and accessibility for fans. According to Zingler, Orlando allows the festival to expand its footprint without compromise and continue building toward the future rather than repeating past formulas.
Co Founder and Co CEO Tariq Cherif echoed that sentiment, emphasizing that Rolling Loud has always been about scale and intention. As the brand continues to grow globally, consolidating into one definitive U.S. festival allows the team to focus all of that energy into a single flagship event. The goal is not just to host another festival weekend but to deliver the ultimate Rolling Loud experience.

A Global Brand With Momentum Heading Into 2026
While Rolling Loud 2026 stands as the only U.S. edition next year, the brand’s global presence continues to expand. Rolling Loud Australia is set to return in March 2026 with shows in Sydney and Melbourne, marking the festival’s first appearance in the region since 2019.
Headliners include Gunna and Ken Carson, with additional performances from Sexyy Red, Swae Lee, Tyga, Ski Mask The Slump God, and more.
In November 2025, Rolling Loud India debuted to a crowd of 65,000 fans and has already been confirmed to return in November 2026 following a successful first year.
That momentum follows a landmark Rolling Loud California 2025, which featured historic moments including Playboi Carti’s extended headlining set, Peso Pluma becoming the first Latin artist to headline the festival, and A$AP Rocky’s dramatic helicopter entrance.
With Rolling Loud 2026 returning to the summer and consolidating into one massive U.S. event, the festival is positioning itself for another defining chapter. Lineup details are expected soon as the countdown to Orlando officially begins.
