THE RECAP:
Bringing the hottest talent from all corners of the rap universe to its first-ever Canadian stages, day two of Rolling Loud Toronto continued bringing vibes to the shores of Lake Ontario. On day two, the legend himself, Future, graced the mainstage pulling out hit after hit from his extensive bag of bangers. Throughout the day, plenty of RL favorites like Trippie Redd, Roddy Ricch, Don Toliver, Rubi Rose, and Mariah The Scientist had the crowd bumping. International stars lended their talent as well, with local Toronto favorites like Jazz Cartier, Pressa, and Smiley, and UK stunners Skepta, Aitch, and Lancey Foux.
The festival comes to a close tomorrow with Afrobeats icon Wizkid closing out the mainstage, plus additional performances from NAV, $uicideboy$, Ski Mask The Slump God, Polo G, and more. Be sure to follow Rolling Loud on Instagram for even more highlights from the weekend.

Critical Praise:
“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.
