It obviously couldn’t stop at just one Rolling Loud event. After bringing 65,000 fans to Navi Mumbai for its Indian debut last November, with Central Cee, Wiz Khalifa, Don Toliver and Karan Aujla at the top of the bill, the hip-hop festival is coming back for round two.
Rolling Loud India has confirmed that its second edition will take place on December 12 and 13, 2026, once again at Loud Park in Kharghar in Navi Mumbai. While the 2025 edition also saw Karan Aujla become the first Indian artist to headline Rolling Loud, alongside performances from DIVINE, NAV, Gurinder Gill, Wild Wild Women, AR Paisley, Sambata and Yung Raja, the question about who will perform at Rolling Out Loud 2026 is still under wraps.
If we're to believe the rumours spinning out of the rumour mill, Metro Boomin, Playboi Carti, Future, Ken Carson and AP Dhillon are among the names currently being floated by fans. None of them have been confirmed by Rolling Loud, so for now, consider them part of the rumour mill rather than the actual bill. The official announcement is still to come.
Produced in partnership with District and exclusively ticketed on the platform, Rolling Loud has confirmed the dates and venue, but is keeping the lineup under wraps for now. That has, naturally, left the internet to do some unofficial booking of its own.
There is also some serious competition for your December calendar. Fred again.. will be in Mumbai on December 8 and 9 before heading to Bengaluru on December 12 and 13, meaning his Bengaluru shows fall on exactly the same weekend as Rolling Loud. For anyone attempting to see everything, December has suddenly become a rather expensive month.
Rolling Loud, meanwhile, is promising another two-day run of international hip-hop names, Indian talent and the wider festival experience that comes with it, from food and merchandise to on-ground activations and performances.
Matt Zingler, CEO and Founder of Rolling Loud, says the response to the first edition made the return an easy decision. “The energy from the fans was incredible,” he said, pointing to the experience of seeing international artists share a stage with Indian talent. “We’ve always believed Hip-Hop is global, and India is becoming an important part of that story.”
Rahul Ganjoo, CEO of District, similarly pointed to the scale of last year's response, saying it has shaped how the 2026 edition is being built.
Tickets will be sold exclusively through District. The 2026 sale has not opened yet, although the event is already listed on the platform for updates.
There is no official word on ticket prices either. Last year's festival offered GA, GA+, VIP and HSBC Starstruck VIP categories, but those prices are no indication of what the 2026 passes will cost. The safest bet, for now, is to keep an eye on District for the sale announcement rather than trusting the inevitable resale listings that will appear once the lineup drops.
For now, the dates are locked, Loud Park is waiting and the lineup remains the festival's biggest unanswered question- which, of course, has never stopped the internet from answering it anyway. We’ll be keeping an eye on the lineup, ticket details and everything else coming out of Rolling Loud India, and updating this story as the festival discourse unfolds.
