THE RECAP:

Rolling Loud Miami is hip-hop’s biggest stage, an action-packed celebration of the genre in which anything can happen. Day two of Miami ’23 lived up to that lofty standard. Travis Scott headlined, bringing a brand new stage design inspired by his upcoming album UTOPIA. Travis confirmed the 7/28 release date of the highly-anticipated album on stage, and revealed that the album will drop alongside a film, titled Circus Maximus, before performing his brand new single “K-POP.”

Travis’s show-closing set was merely the capper of another banner day for the World’s Largest Hip-Hop Festival. 21 Savage performed, bringing out special guests G Herbo and Young Nudy and showing why he’s become one of rap’s biggest stars. Several of hip-hop’s leading ladies shut it down under the Miami sun, including hometown heroes City Girls, hitmaker Coi Leray, Memphis firebrand GloRilla, among others. Rolling Loud regulars Trippie Redd and Ski Mask The Slump God raised energy levels, while rappers like Luh Tyler, BabyTron, and Skilla Baby fed the streets. In a Rolling Loud first, Dominican dembow superstar El Alfa took the main stage, boosting the bass to soul-shaking levels and performing viral hits like “La Mamá de la Mamá” and “Gogo Dance.”

Tomorrow, Rolling Loud Miami 2023 ends on a high note, with headliner A$AP Rocky and performers like Lil Uzi Vert, Bryson Tiller, Turnstile, and many others.

Critical Praise:

“Built from scratch by lifelong music fans Matt Zingler and Tariq Cherif, Rolling Loud’s early strengths were its daring curation and booking, elevating a new generation of artists with exciting live shows and captivating energy. Today, the biggest performers headline the raucous Miami festival, coming from all over the world, often driven solely by their love and trust of Zingler and Cherif.” – Billboard

“Rolling Loud has become the biggest hip-hop festival in the country” – Variety

“From niche hip-hop festival to must-play event for some of the biggest stars in music.” – Pollstar

“Until Elon Musk involuntarily envelops society into a physical cloud universe, Rolling Loud will be the closest experience to actually living inside your streaming app.” – Complex

“Rolling Loud’s annual New York edition is always something special, but this year’s Halloween-weekend extravaganza (not to mention the first post-pandemic) brought seriously spectacular energy to Queens’ Citi Field.” – Highsnobiety

“Rolling Loud is a lifestyle brand. They are more than just the shows. They have built a community with their consumers and are building new channels to maintain continuity” – Forbes

“In four and a half years — beginning small in Miami, and now promoting Coachella-sized events around the country — Rolling Loud has established itself as a playground for the young…This time last year, many of the rappers now drawing crowds of several thousand were barely known.” – The New York Times

The Background:

Founded by 5-time Billboard Hip-Hop Power Players Matt Zingler & Tariq Cherif as a one-day Miami show, Rolling Loud has grown into a global festival phenomenon, putting on shows on both coasts and in multiple countries. Rolling Loud is the premier festival brand in hip-hop, known for its expert curation of wide-ranging lineups that reflect the state of the genre.

The festival returned from a 18-month hiatus with the sold out Rolling Loud Miami 2021, bringing in over 85,000 fans per day to Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, FL. With headliners like Post Malone and A$AP Rocky, Rolling Loud Miami 2021 was a triumphant return for live rap music, and a coming out party for risers and new superstars eager to play in front of a festival crowd. Rolling Loud hosts its biggest event to date with Miami 2022 in July, headlined by Kid Cudi, Kendrick Lamar, and Future, before returning to NY and debuting in Toronto in September 2022.
