Rolling Loud has officially revealed its much-anticipated lineup for the 2026 Australia edition, marking the festival's triumphant return since its last run in 2019. Headlined by Gunna, the event will span two cities: Sydney and Melbourne, on March 7 and 8, respectively.
Ken Carson, a rising star within the Opium label, takes top billing alongside Gunna, further solidifying his international presence within the festival's illustrious lineup. Also spearheading the performance roster is Sexyy Red, who tops the second tier of a bill stacked with U.S. rap talent.
Major acts slated to perform include Tyga, Swae Lee, Lil Tjay, Ski Mask the Slump God, NLE Choppa, Quavo, iann dior, and newcomer Osamason, bringing a fusion of classic and cutting-edge hip-hop sounds to Australian shores.
Complementing the global rap giants, Rolling Loud Australia will dedicate a stage to support artists from Australia and New Zealand, featuring local stars like Hooligan Hefs, Youngn Lipz, and Amarni. This approach ensures a diverse and dynamic musical experience across both cities, with core acts maintained while spotlighting local talent.
The festival's first outing in 2019 in Sydney was a significant milestone, headlined by international heavyweights Future, Playboi Carti, and Rae Sremmurd. The upcoming 2026 edition marks a momentous occasion as Rolling Loud expands with consecutive shows in two of Australia’s major cities.
This announcement arrives as Rolling Loud continues its global expansion, with recent editions popping up across Europe, Asia, and an upcoming event in India, featuring artists like Central Cee and Wiz Khalifa.
The 2026 events in Australia are organized in collaboration with Primuse Entertainment. Detailed scheduling and logistics are set to be released as March approaches, promising a spectacular return for Rolling Loud Down Under.
