Here's what to expect at the 8th annual international hip hop festival.

Starting March 3rd through March 5th 2023, the annual Rolling Loud festival will begin. Making the first of many stops in Inglewood, CA at the Hollywood Park grounds. Inglewood is the first of two stops nationally and one of many internationally.

How It Started

What began in 2015 in Miami as a way to, “create a festival to showcase the best in hip hop music”, has become an annual international sensation. Created by Matt Zingler and Tariq Cherif, two best friends who have known each other since their time in Hollywood, FL elementary school. After throwing successful parties in high school their first foray into professional live music was a 2010 after-party. The event was headlined by Rick Ross and was not a success. In fact, it left Ziggler bloodied and in need of stitches. As well as leaving them both out of tens of thousands of dollars. At that point they knew they needed a new game plan.

They began booking rappers both well-known and unknown for dates around the Florida area. They also began to study the way that EDM shows captivate their audiences. Shortly thereafter, Rolling Loud was born. The very first Rolling Loud festival took place February 28th, 2015 at Soho Studios in the Wynwood section of Miami, FL. Big names like Action Bronson, Schoolboy Q, A$AP Ferg, Juicy J, and Curren$y all came together to grace the stage for the day-long event. In the years since then it has grown and expanded to the point that it has gone from one day to a full weekend. It has also gone from one local location to a highly recognized international festival. 

This Year's Lineup

Rolling loud is considered to be the largest hip hop festival in the world. The focus that it has on hip hop is what sets it apart from other music festivals. Other festivals tend to sprinkle hip hop acts few and far between, while Rolling Loud dedicates its entirety to the genre. This year's line up is chocked full of big names just as the years prior have been. This year's festival kicks off with Playboy Carti as the headliner on Friday. He is most known for his hits, “Sky” and “Magnolia”, among a host of others. Set to perform the same day are Kodak Black, Tyga, Trippie Redd, DaBaby, Saweetie, Souljah Boy and 28 other artists as well.

Saturday, the second of the three day long event is headlined by Travis Scott. Other performers taking the stage that day include; Lil Baby, 2 Chainz, Kevin Gates, City Girls and another 34 other artists that were not mentioned. The weekend long hip hop festival concludes with Future as the headliner. As well as special guest Lil Wayne. Other artists set to take the stage are: Lil Uzi Vert, Tory Lanez, MoneyBagg Yo and 40 other performers. So in total there will be over 100 artists taking to the stage in Inglewood this coming weekend.
