Rolling Loud has announced the second headliner for its highly anticipated return to Australia next year, who will appear alongside the previously announced Gunna.

Touching down for two one-day festivals on March 7th and March 8th, 2026, Rolling Loud Australia had previously confirmed Gunna will perform at both stops, and has promised the full lineup will be released in coming weeks with a mix of international and local artists.

Joining him on the lineup is fellow US rapper Sexyy Red, who rose to prominence with the release of her 2023 single “Pound Town” ft. Tay Keith, which was followed up with a remix featuring Nicki Minaj which marked Sexyy Red’s first entry on the Billboard Hot 100. Her next single “SkeeYee” was met with similar success, and both featured of 2023’s Hood Hottest Princess.

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.

Pre-sale tickets for Rolling Loud Australia 2026 sold out in less than 24 hours, underscoring the massive demand for the festival’s return Down Under. General on-sale tickets are available now, but tiers are moving quickly (and prices will climb as each tier sells outs) as fans rush to secure their spot.

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.
