Rolling Loud is officially heading back Down Under. After a six-year hiatus, the world’s largest hip-hop festival will make its long-awaited return to Australia in March 2026, touching down for back-to-back one-day festivals in Sydney and Melbourne.
The massive return kicks off March 7 at Sydney’s Centennial Park, followed by March 8 at Melbourne’s Flemington Racecourse, marking Rolling Loud’s debut in the city. Fans can expect the full-scale energy the brand is known for: massive performances, world-class production, and a crowd that lives and breathes hip-hop.
Rolling Loud is back with Gunna
Gunna has been confirmed as the first artist on the lineup, performing at both stops, with a headliner and full bill set to drop in the coming weeks. Given Rolling Loud’s global reputation for booking the biggest names in rap. From Future and Travis Scott to Playboi Carti and Nicki Minaj, anticipation is already high for what’s next.
“We’re thrilled to finally bring Rolling Loud back to Australia,” co-founders Matt Zingler and Tariq Cherif said in a statement. “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.”
Rolling Loud first made history in Australia in 2019, hosting a sold-out festival at Sydney’s Olympic Park featuring Future, Playboi Carti, Rae Sremmurd, Tyga, Manu Crook$, and even a surprise performance from The Kid LAROI before his global breakout. The 2026 edition, produced in partnership with Primuse Entertainment, marks both a return and an evolution—cementing Rolling Loud as a truly global movement.
Pre-sale tickets go live October 23 at 8AM AEDT via rollingloud.com/australia.
With Gunna on deck and more announcements coming soon, Rolling Loud Australia 2026 is already shaping up to be one for the books.
