Rolling Loud has announced its highly anticipated return to Australia, with two one-day festivals headlined by US rapper and singer Gunna.
The festival is bringing its unmatched energy back, hitting Sydney’s Centennial Park on March 7th, 2026, and Melbourne’s Flemington Racecourse on March 8th. Fans can look forward to the full Rolling Loud experience with epic performances and expansive on-site experiences.
The renowned hip-hop festival made its Australian debut in 2019 with a lineup featuring the likes of Future, Lil Uzi Vert, Playboi Carti, Tyga, Smokepurpp, and local favourite Manu Crook$. It was due to make its long-awaited follow up last year, but mere weeks after announcing its return, the festival was indefinitely postponed.
Rolling Loud Australia has also confirmed Gunna will perform at both stops, while the full lineup will be released in coming weeks, promising to showcase international names alongside some of Australia’s most exciting artists.
His appearance at Rolling Loud marks a local stop on his ‘Wun World Tour’, before he continues on to the European leg later in the month.
The 32-year-old Atlanta melodic rapper has doggedly maintained his A-list status in the wake of 2022’s YSL trial. He was ensnared in a case alongside his former YSL signee Young Thug, which alleged the pair were co-bosses of a street gang.
While Thug maintains YSL was never a criminal organisation, in December of 2022, Gunna took an Alford Plea that required a hearing where he affirmed to the judge that it was a “gang” that “must end”.

Rolling Loud’s next stop is Mumbai, where the festival will make its highly anticipated debut in November. Headlined by Central Cee, Wiz Khalifa, Don Toliver, and Karan Aujla, with performances from Swae Lee, Nav, DIVINE, Hanumankind, Ski Mask The Slump God, Westside Gunn, and more, Rolling Loud India will showcase a powerful mix of international hip-hop stars and Indian artists shaping the genre across the subcontinent.
Earlier this year, Rolling Loud California delivered one of the defining moments in the brand’s history. From Playboi Carti’s marathon 2.5-hour headlining set just days after releasing I AM MUSIC, to Peso Pluma becoming the first Latin artist to headline a Rolling Loud festival, and A$AP Rocky’s dramatic return to the stage via helicopter — the weekend captured the scale, spectacle, and cultural impact that define Rolling Loud worldwide.
Rolling Loud Australia 2026 is the next in line to make history.
