Rolling Loud Australia has officially been cancelled, with organisers confirming the Sydney and Melbourne dates scheduled for 7th - 8th March, 2026 will no longer proceed. The internationally renowned hip-hop festival was set to return in a new two-day format, marking its long-awaited comeback to Australian shores after years of postponements and uncertainty.

In a statement released today, Rolling Loud organisers attributed the cancellation to their local partner, Primuse Entertainment, citing missed critical payment deadlines and related obligations. “These ongoing delays left us without the necessary guarantees so close to the event,” the statement read. Organisers added that they would not compromise the safety or overall experience of fans, artists and vendors.

The Sydney event was due to take place at Centennial Park on 7th March, 2026, followed by Melbourne’s Flemington Racecourse on 8th March, 2026. Earlier reports circulated after an alleged email to ticketholders suggested the shows had been axed, prompting Primuse Australia to acknowledge discussions were ongoing and urge fans to await official confirmation.

Rolling Loud first debuted in Australia in 2019 with a blockbuster lineup including Future, Lil Uzi Vert and Playboi Carti, and was poised to return in 2026 with artists such as Gunna, Ken Carson, Sexyy Red and Quavo. The event also promised a dedicated local stage spotlighting Australian and New Zealand hip-hop talent, making this cancellation another significant setback for the country’s festival landscape.

Rolling Loud Australia confirms Sydney and Melbourne shows on 7th - 8th March, 2026 will not proceed.

Rolling Loud Australia is officially back. After a sold-out 2019 debut, the world’s biggest hip-hop festival returns for two blockbuster dates in March 2026 — with a lineup that blends global rap royalty, rising stars and a stage dedicated to homegrown Australian and New Zealand talent.

Headliners Gunna and Ken Carson lead the 2026 charge, backed by a stacked roster featuring Sexyy Red, Tyga, Swae Lee, Lil Tjay, Quavo, Ski Mask The Slump God, NLE Choppa, Osamason, Rich Amiri, and more. The festival will hit Sydney’s Centennial Park on 7th March, followed by its Melbourne debut at Flemington Racecourse on 8th March — marking the first back-to-back Rolling Loud dates on Australian soil.

Celebrating the explosive growth of local hip-hop, this year’s edition introduces a dedicated stage for regional talent. Artists confirmed include Hooligan Hefs, Youngn Lipz, Amarni, Day1, Jonny Chopps, Lil Golo & Cult Shφtta, and 4ourttune — with each city also featuring a handful of local-only acts to spotlight the unique voices shaping the local scene.

The World’s Largest Hip-Hop Festival is set to land in Sydney’s Centennial Park on 7th March and Melbourne’s Flemington Racecourse on 8th March for two massive one-day events.

The addition of viral rap sensation Sexyy Red joins previously announced headliner Gunna, with the full lineup expected to drop soon. Organisers have promised a stacked roster of international icons and top-tier Australian talent, delivering the full Rolling Loud experience packed with explosive sets, immersive stage design, and unbeatable hip-hop energy.

Pre-sale tickets for both cities sold out in under 24 hours, highlighting the huge demand for Rolling Loud’s return since its last Australian edition in 2019. General tickets are available now, but with pricing rising through each tier, fans are urged to act fast to lock in their place before the next price increase.
