Why Rolling Loud Is The Ultimate Hip Hop Destination

Rolling Loud, created eight years ago, in the heart of Miami, Florida has grown to be the largest global scale multi-destination hip hop festival today.

Starting as a one day event at Soho Studios, to embarking on enormous venues throughout the world, Rolling Loud continues to set a new standard year after year.

In 2022 alone, your favorite hip hop fest will be in locations such as Netherlands, Portugal, Miami, Toronto Canada, New York, Southern California, along with national U.S. tour dates with artists like Lil Baby, Chris Brown, Suicideboys, Ski Mask The Slump God, City Morgue, and more.

As far as adapting and staying connected, when things were locked down, RL created live streaming versions of their festivals with top of the line production and artists performing for an online audience. You can even catch Rolling Loud’s annual installment at SXSW each year in Austin, Texas. They have also made their mark in the pacific with Australia and Japan. All in all, they are breaking ground and placing their footprint in the history of hip hop culture.

From the detail oriented surprises in merch to the massive staging and logistics, Rolling Loud shines among the rest when it comes to providing exactly what the ticket buyer is looking for. As an example, finding water or needing your own space to rage are easier than ever with the amount of space the event allows in between stages with more than enough vendor, food, and water stations. Need to take a break from the music? No worries, enjoy the multiple attraction rides, hang at the skate park, or even play a game of basketball.

When it comes to locations and lineups, Rolling Loud exceeds expectations to how far you can go with a set vision, proven track record, and dedicated team that sets the bar higher and higher each time. The Rolling Loud festival run this year begins in the Netherlands where they are teaming up with the impactful Woo Hah! Festival. Immediately after, they will be hosting their inaugural beach destination at Portimão Praia da Rocha Beach in Portugal July 6th - 8th. History is currently in the making and we’re ecstatic to see what comes of it.

As far as North America, let’s start where it all began with Rolling Loud Miami taking place at Hard Rock Stadium July 22nd - 24th. Heavy hitting headliners include Ye, Future, and Kendrick Lamar along with culture shifting acts like Lil Durk, Playboi Carti, Three Six Mafia, Lil Uzi Vert, Kodak Black, Don Toliver, SNOT, and so many more.
