Rolling Loud India returns on 12 and 13 December, with the lineup still under wraps

Rolling Loud India is coming back for a second year. The festival will run on 12 and 13 December 2026, and tickets are on sale now, but the organisers have not named a single artist yet.

What is confirmed

The return was announced on 9 September 2026, with District, the Zomato-owned platform, producing the festival and acting as its exclusive ticketing partner. The District listing shows the dates as 12 and 13 December, tickets from Rs 4,500 and an option to reserve with 50 per cent upfront. It carries sponsors including Budweiser 0.0, HSBC, Casa Bacardi and Airtel Postpaid.

The lineup is not out. Coverage of the announcement, including Time Out Mumbai, says organisers plan to reveal artists in the coming weeks through the festival's official channels.

The venue question

Reports differ here. The 2025 edition was held at Loud Park in Navi Mumbai, and some outlets say the same venue will host this year. The District page itself lists Mumbai with the exact location to be announced, so we are treating the venue as unconfirmed until the festival says otherwise.

Why this one matters

Rolling Loud is a Miami-born hip-hop festival that has taken its brand to several countries. Its India debut in November 2025 drew more than 65,000 people, according to the festival. Karan Aujla became the first Indian artist to headline a Rolling Loud, which was a milestone for Punjabi hip-hop on a global stage. In a statement quoted by Dork, founder Matt Zingler said "hip-hop is global, and India is becoming an important part of that story."

What about the rumours?

Names such as Metro Boomin, Playboi Carti and Future have been floating around online as possible headliners. None of them has been confirmed by Rolling Loud or District, and we are not treating them as news.

What to do now

If you plan to go, the District page is the only official place to buy. Keep an eye on the festival's own channels for the artist reveal, because the announced prices cover only entry and not travel or stay. We will cover the lineup the moment it lands.
