As previously reported, the hip-hop festival Rolling Loud recently announced a global expansion, adding shows in California (Bay Area and Southern California), China, Japan, and the United Kingdom. While the Miami concert shall remain the flagship show, remaining the "home and premier event as [founders Tariq Cherif & Matt Zingler] establish the Rolling Loud brand around the world," as per an announcement press conference. And while your city may very well have gone unrepresented, it may very well be a simple matter of time.
As far as developments go, the lineup of the Rolling Loud Bay Area Fest has officially been announced, and it's most definitely star-studded. The headlines include Lil Wayne, ScHoolboy Q, & Travis Scott, but the remaining lineup features no shortage of notable names. Lil Uzi Vert, Young Thug, Isaiah Rashad, Kodak Black, Playboi Carti, XXXTENTACION, Lil Pump, Denzel Curry, Ski Mask The Slump God, Dave East, Lil Peep, A Boogie, & Ugly God are only a few of the names scheduled to grace the Shoreline Festival Grounds.
And that's not even referencing a mysterious, blurred out name. What's the deal?
The Rolling Loud Bay Area Fest is set to take place on October 21st and 22nd, 2017, at the Shoreline Festival Grounds at Mountain View, CA. It's interesting to note that there's no reference to some Bay Area rappers, like E-40, G-Eazy, or Kamaiyah. Either way, the lineup is undeniably crazy, and it seems as if the integrity of the Rolling Loud brand shows no sign of deteriorating.
If you're interested in checking this out, tickets go on sale Tuesday, August 22nd at 12:00pm Pacific Standard Time. If you're not in the Bay Area, or any of the upcoming Rolling Loud locations, the previous Miami show did end up livestreaming entire performances for free. It's not exactly the ideal festival experience, but it's better than nothing, right?
