More about the festival
Rolling Loud was founded as a hip-hop festival in 2015 by music promoters Matt Zingler and Tariq Cherif. The duo, who met in high school, organized small music events together. The first festival took place in Miami, Florida. It later expanded to locations including Los Angeles, Australia, New York City and Portugal.
Previous editions of the festival have been attended by J. Cole, Travis Scott, Future, and Rick Ross. The roster also included Cardi B, Migos, Gucci Mane, Machine Gun Kelly. Post Malone, ASAP Rocky, and Travis Scott. Other scheduled artists included Megan Thee Stallion, Swae Lee, and Lil Pump.
Rolling Loud festival controversies
The hip-hop festival has been subject to controversies in the past. The 2019 festival, which took place in Miami, was disrupted by false reports of an active shooting. Florida rapper Kodak Black reportedly did not arrive for his scheduled set due to being arrested off-site on a weapons charge during the festival. Rapper Lil Wayne announced that he would no longer be attending the festival after it became mandatory to be searched by police before performing.
Last year, at the festival, DaBaby’s set drew scrutiny after he made insensitive comments about HIV/AIDS and the LGBTQ+ community. He also brought out rapper Tory Lanez during his set, right after Megan Thee Stallion’s set, which was seen as a provocative move. Megan Thee Stallion had accused Lanez of shooting her in the foot.
