Rolling Loud Recruits Kanye West, Kendrick Lamar, and Future to Headline Rolling Loud Miami 2022

The Biggest Rap Festival Brand’s Flagship Event Returns to Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, FL on July 22nd-24th, 2022

The Upcoming Festival is the Biggest Rolling Loud Yet, With Three Days Worth of Performances From A-Listers, Rising Stars, and Underground Heroes

Tickets Available on 3/7 @ 12 PM ET at RollingLoud.com/miatix

Rolling Loud built itself up from a one-day festival to a three-day, multi-city behemoth off the strength of their expertly-curated lineups. Outdoing themselves for their seventh festival in the brand’s hometown, Rolling Loud announces that Kanye West, Kendrick Lamar, and Future will headline Rolling Loud Miami 2022. With those first class headliners and an undercard full of some of the most exciting names in the genre, the world’s premier rap festival’s flagship event returns to Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, FL on July 22nd-24th.

The upcoming festival marks Kendrick Lamar’s first Rolling Loud since Miami 2017, and gives Future the opportunity to follow-up his show-stopping finale performance from Rolling Loud California 2021, where he welcomed special guest Kanye West. Meanwhile, Kanye teamed up with Rolling Loud last week for a one-of-a-kind Donda 2 Listening Event in Miami, where he played music from his new album for the first time and was joined by stars like Jack Harlow, Playboi Carti, and more.

Beyond the headliners is a murderer’s row of many of hip-hop’s most notable names, offering a snapshot of the current landscape of the genre. Miami 2022 brings A-Listers like Gunna, Lil Uzi Vert, Playboi Carti, Lil Baby, Lil Durk, and Saweetie, meteoric risers like Don Toliver, Baby Keem, City Girls, and Ski Mask The Slump God, plus respected veterans like Gucci Mane, 2 Chainz, Three Six Mafia, and many more. Following up an initial presale that sold out in 2 hours, VIP and general admission tickets are available at 12pm ET on March 7th at rollingloud.com/miatix.

Last year, Rolling Loud Miami 2021 set the bar as the first major festival to return to the stage in 18 months. Miami welcomed headliners like Post Malone and A$AP Rocky, treated dozens of young artists who blew up during the pandemic to their first-ever festival-sized sets, and served as a gathering place for stars like Rihanna, Diddy, Teyana Taylor, James Harden, Iman Shumpert, Tyler Herro, and many more. For the first time ever, Rolling Loud welcomed the WWE® to the festival’s main stage, hosting two star-studded bouts that aired during FOX’s WWE SmackDown®. Miami 2022 shapes up to be an even bigger event, recruiting more artists than ever before.

Led by its founders Matt Zingler and Tariq Cherif, Rolling Loud is on a mission to top their massively successful 2021. The coming year promises festivals on multiple continents, including Rolling Loud Portugal in Portugal and WOO HAH! Fest in the Netherlands, as they continue to lead the vanguard of live music experiences in hip-hop and beyond. Stay tuned, and check out Rolling Loud on Instagram for all the latest updates.

“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

The Background:

Founded by 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 on July 23rd-25th, 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.

During the pandemic, Rolling Loud expanded into much more than just a live festival company. With no in-person show possibilities in sight, Rolling Loud pivoted to become a heavy-hitter in the world of Livestreaming, drawing millions of unique viewers and landing multiple events in Pollstar’s Year-End Livestream Chart. In June 2021, Rolling Loud launched Rolling Loud Presents, their first venture into tour promotions, taking the Rolling Loud experience on the road with a series of tours headlined by some of the biggest stars in hip-hop, including Rod Wave, Trippie Redd, Jack Harlow, and more to be announced.
