Australia Is Getting A Brand New Hip Hop Festival In 2019!

Rolling Loud is heading Down Under.

It's been dubbed 'the biggest hip hop festival in the world' and now Rolling Loud is heading to Australia!

The festival was founded in the US by Matt Zingler and Tariq Cheriff in 2015 and has already seen acts like Kendrick Lamar, Cardi B, Post Malone, Migos and more take to its stages.

Rolling Loud is set to make its Australian debut at Sydney Showgrounds at Sydney Olympic Park on Saturday 27 January, with the first headline acts to be announced later this week.

"After back to back sell-outs in Miami and Rolling Loud-branded festivals and experiences across the US, we’re thrilled to make our Australian debut," say the founders. 

"Rap music is the most popular and fastest growing genre of music and the world deserves to experience curated line-ups of its biggest stars and hottest new talent."

The Australian event will be run in conjunction with local production and event company, HSU Events.                                                

“In four shorts years, Rolling Loud has become the biggest festival brand in rap, buoyed by an impressive line-up and innovative vision," says HSU co-founder Oliver Finley

"We have a huge amount of respect for what Matt and Tariq have created and cannot wait to bring it to Australian audiences this summer."
