Rolling Loud Returns Downunder

20 Oct

After a five-year hiatus, the world’s largest hip-hop festival Rolling Loud will make its long-awaited return to Australia in March 2026, hitting Sydney’s Centennial Park on Saturday the 7th of March, and Melbourne’s Flemington Racecourse on Sunday the 8th of March for two back-to-back, one-day events.

The 2026 edition will be headlined by Gunna, with a full lineup of international heavyweights and Australian talent to be announced soon. Fans can expect the full Rolling Loud experience with massive performances, immersive festival production, and the unrivalled energy that’s made the Rolling Loud brand hip-hop’s ultimate global home.

“We’re thrilled to finally bring Rolling Loud back to Australia,” said Matt Zingler and Tariq Cherif, Rolling Loud Co-Founders and Co-CEOs. “The energy from Sydney in 2019 was unforgettable, and this time we’re expanding the experience to both Sydney and Melbourne.”

Rolling Loud first made history in 2019 with its sold-out Australian debut at Sydney Olympic Park, featuring Future, Playboi Carti, Rae Sremmurd, Tyga, and a breakout performance by The Kid LAROI. That landmark event marked a major step in Rolling Loud’s global journey with the festival series now spanning events across Europe, Asia, and North America.

Produced in partnership with Primuse Entertainment, Rolling Loud Australia 2026 will mark the brand’s official return to our shores, promising another unforgettable chapter in the festival’s worldwide expansion.
