Rolling Loud Australia Expands to Melbourne in 2026 After Sold-Out Sydney Debut
20 Oct
Summary
- Rolling Loud Australia to host two one-day festivals in 2026
- Gunna confirmed to perform at both Sydney and Melbourne events
- First Rolling Loud Australia in 2019 sold out in one hour
In 2026, the popular music festival Rolling Loud is set to expand its reach in Australia, hosting two one-day events. On March 7, the festival will touch down in Sydney's Centennial Park, followed by a March 8 show at Melbourne's Flemington Racecourse. This will mark the first time Rolling Loud has brought its high-energy hip-hop experience to the city of Melbourne.
Headlining the 2026 edition will be rapper Gunna, who is scheduled to perform at both the Sydney and Melbourne events. The full lineup for the festivals is expected to be announced in the coming months. The inaugural Rolling Loud Australia in 2019 was a single-day affair that sold out in just one hour, according to the event's producers. That event featured a surprise appearance from rising star The Kid LAROI during DJ Scheme's set.
"We're thrilled to finally bring Rolling Loud back to Australia," said Rolling Loud co-founders/co-CEOs Matt Zingler and Tariq Cherif in a joint statement. "The energy from Sydney in 2019 was unforgettable, and this time we're expanding that experience with shows in both Sydney and Melbourne. Australia has always shown real love for Rolling Loud, and we can't wait to deliver something special for the fans Down Under."
