Rolling Loud is billed as the biggest hip-hop festival in the world, and it’s heading to Sydney on January 27, 2019.
It was founded in Miami in 2015, and previous Rolling Loud line-ups read like a who’s who of modern hip-hop royalty: Kendrick Lamar, Cardi B, Lil Wayne, A$AP Rocky and Young Thug have all graced the festival’s stage.
This year’s three-day festival drew 135,000 fans – its largest crowd to date – to Miami’s Hard Rock Stadium to see acts such as J. Cole, Travis Scott, Future, Migos, Post Malone, Lil Uzi Vert and dozens more.
In 2017, the festival debuted on the USA’s west coast with events in the Los Angeles Bay Area and San Francisco. The Sydney event – to be held at the Sydney Showgrounds in Olympic Park – is the first Rolling Loud iteration in the Southern Hemisphere.
In an official statement, festival founders Matt Zingler and Tariq Cherif said: “We’re thrilled to make our Australian debut. Rap music is the most popular and fastest growing genre of music and the world deserves to experience curated line-ups of its biggest stars and hottest new talent.”
The headliners for Rolling Loud Australia will be announced later this week.
Rolling Loud is on January 27, 2019.
