Rolling Loud has officially unveiled the full lineup for its 2026 Australia edition, confirming a strong mix of U.S. rap talent and leading homegrown artists. The festival will take place across two cities in March, marking Rolling Loud’s first return to Australia since 2019 and its first two-city format in the country.
The events are scheduled for Sydney’s Centennial Park on March 7 and Melbourne’s Flemington Racecourse on March 8. Each date will operate as a one-day festival with a consistent core lineup.
Gunna will headline both shows, following earlier confirmation that he would anchor the run. Ken Carson joins him in a top billing position, reflecting the Opium-affiliated artist’s expanding presence across the global Rolling Loud circuit. Sexyy Red leads the second tier of performers after previously being announced.
The lineup includes several major U.S. rap acts across the main stages, such as Tyga, Swae Lee, Lil Tjay, Ski Mask the Slump God, NLE Choppa, Quavo, Ian, and rising rapper Osamason. The bill spans established touring names, TikTok-supported breakout artists, and core Rolling Loud performers who have appeared throughout the festival’s international editions.
In addition to the international roster, Rolling Loud Australia will feature a dedicated stage highlighting artists from Australia and New Zealand. Announced regional performers include Hooligan Hefs, Youngn Lipz, Amarni, Day1, Lil Golo & Cult Shotta, 4ourttune, and Jonny Chopps. Each city will present select local-only acts, while the main lineup remains consistent.
Rolling Loud first debuted in Australia in 2019 with a Sydney event headlined by Future, Playboi Carti, and Rae Sremmurd. That edition sold out quickly and marked a key point in the festival’s global growth. The 2026 return represents Rolling Loud’s first Australian shows in seven years and its first back-to-back city setup in the region.
The announcement follows continued international expansion for the Miami-born festival, which has introduced new editions across Europe, Asia, and India. Later this month, Rolling Loud India will take place with Central Cee, Wiz Khalifa, Don Toliver, and Karan Aujla leading the bill.
Rolling Loud Australia 2026 will run in partnership with Primuse Entertainment as the local production partner. Additional scheduling and site details are expected ahead of the March dates.
