Rolling Loud is headed back to Australia for the first time since 2019. The ever-expanding festival franchise is set to return Down Under in March with Gunna as their headliner. Rolling Loud Australia 2026 will touch down for two one-day festivals on March 7 at Sydney’s Centennial Park and March 8 at Melbourne’s Flemington Racecourse. The 2026 edition will mark the first time the festival has reached Melbourne. Gunna is set to headline both dates with the remaining lineup to be announced soon. Future headlined the last Rolling Loud Australia with Lil Uzi Vert, Playboi Carti and Tyga also taking the stage. The first Rolling Loud Australia was a single day event that sold out in one hour, according to producers, and featured a surprise performance from a then-rising The Kid LAROI during DJ Scheme’s set. “We’re thrilled to finally bring Rolling Loud back to Australia,” said Rolling Loud co-founders/co-CEOs Matt Zingler and Tariq Cherif in a joint 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.” The 2026 festival will be produced alongside Primuse Entertainment as the official local partner. Rolling Loud’s next stop is Mumbai, where the festival will make its India debut on Nov. 22–23. Headlined by Central Cee, Wiz Khalifa, Don Toliver and Karan Aujla, with performances from Swae Lee, Nav, DIVINE, Hanumankind, Ski Mask The Slump God, Westside Gunn and more, Rolling Loud India will showcase a mix of international hip-hop stars and Indian artists shaping the genre across the subcontinent.
