Rolling Loud Plans 2026 Return with Gunna in Sydney, Melbourne

Rolling Loud, the world's largest hip-hop festival, is set to return to Australia in March 2026 for the first time since 2019, expanding to two one-day festivals in Sydney and Melbourne. The events will take place on March 7 at Sydney’s Centennial Park and March 8 at Melbourne’s Flemington Racecourse, marking the festival's debut in Melbourne. Gunna has been confirmed as the headliner for both dates, with the full lineup expected to be announced in the coming weeks, promising a mix of international stars and prominent Australian artists. The 2019 festival sold out quickly and featured major acts such as Future and Playboi Carti, with a surprise performance by The Kid LAROI. Organizers expressed excitement about returning to Australia, emphasizing the strong local support and promising an unforgettable experience with high-energy performances and expansive on-site production. Rolling Loud’s global expansion also includes a debut in India later in 2025, showcasing the festival's growing international footprint.
