Rolling Loud hip-hop festival expands to Orlando for 2026

ORLANDO, Fla. - Rolling Loud, the popular hip-hop festival, is moving to Orlando in 2026. 

What we know:

Festival organizers have announced the festival will take place in Orlando this summer instead of Miami, where it was founded.

Rolling Loud 2026 will take place May 8-10 at Camping World Stadium. Festival organizers have teased a full week of "exclusive events and experiences" leading up to the main event. 

Matt Zingler, Rolling Loud co-founder and co-CEO, said one of the main reasons for the move was the accessibility Orlando offered.

"We wanted to bring Rolling Loud back to the summer and build it without compromise," Zinger said in a statement. "With Orlando, we’re able to be more accessible for fans, expand our footprint, and think long-term. Rolling Loud has always been about meeting the culture where it’s going, not where it’s been."

The lineup has yet to be announced, but, in the past, the festival has featured some of the biggest names in hip-hop, including Travis Scott, Cardi B, A$AP Rocky, Wiz Khalifa and more. 

The event will also feature food vendors, bars and art installations.
