The Announcement:
Growing from a one-day festival in 2015 to the world’s premier rap fest brand in 2021 and beyond, Rolling Loud is set to have its biggest year yet in 2022. Building on the recent announcement and sold-out presale for Miami 2022, Rolling Loud announces its return to the mecca of rap music with Rolling Loud New York 2022. Promising a mix of rap’s biggest names, rising stars, and Five Borough favorites, RL NY comes back to Citi Field in Queens, NY on September 23rd-25th, 2022. Offering early access to the festival at a special discounted lock-in price, presale tickets for Rolling Loud New York are available starting June 3rd @ 12pm ET at rollingloud.com/nytix.
Rolling Loud returns to New York after a successful 2021 event, which was the first Rolling Loud outside of Miami to span 3 days. With headliners that included J. Cole and 50 Cent, plus a laundry list of NYC stars past and present, including Bobby Shmurda, Joey Bada$$, Ferg, Sleepy Hallow, and more, RL NY 2021 was a sold-out celebration of hip-hop in the genre’s birthplace.
Rolling Loud plans to expand its brand into international territory this year. The announcement of Rolling Loud New York 2022 comes hot on the heels of the festival’s reveal of Rolling Loud Toronto, the first-ever Rolling Loud in Canada, featuring an international array of A-listers including headliners Future, WizKid, and Dave. Rolling Loud starts its international expansion this summer, with Rolling Loud Portugal (July 6-8th, 2022) and WOO HAH! Fest in the Netherlands (July 1st-3rd).
The announcement of Rolling Loud New York continues a massive year for Rolling Loud, who warmed up for a loaded festival season with a standout showcase at SXSW, headlined by Don Toliver and showcasing some of rap’s hottest up-and-comers. Rolling Loud is hard at work in preparation for this summer’s Rolling Loud Miami 2022, boasting perhaps the most impressive group of headliners in Rolling Loud history: Kanye West, Kendrick Lamar, and Future. With those superstars leading an array of A-listers and red hot risers, Rolling Loud Miami returns to Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, FL on July 22nd-24th.
Led by its founders Matt Zingler and Tariq Cherif, Rolling Loud is on a mission to top their massively successful 2021. Stay tuned for many more announcements, as Rolling Loud continues to lead the vanguard of live music experiences in hip-hop and beyond.

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, its biggest event yet, 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 Miami kicked off a massive year for the festival brand, arriving ahead of Rolling Loud New York 2021, and Rolling Loud California, headlined by J. Cole, Kid Cudi, and Future.
