Rolling Loud India 2026: Hip-Hop Festival Returns On December 12–13

Rolling Loud, the world’s largest hip-hop festival, is set to return to India for its second edition on December 12 and 13, 2026. The festival is produced in partnership with District and will be exclusively ticketed on the platform.

The announcement follows Rolling Loud India’s debut edition in November 2025, which drew 65,000 fans to Loud Park, Navi Mumbai. The inaugural edition also marked a milestone for Indian hip-hop, with Karan Aujla becoming the first Indian artist to headline Rolling Loud.

The 2026 edition is presented by Budweiser 0.0, SHEIN and HSBC India. The lineup is yet to be announced and is expected to feature international hip-hop acts alongside leading Indian talent.

Alongside the music, the festival will return with its on-ground experiences, offering fans a wider entertainment experience beyond the performances.

“The first year showed us exactly why we wanted to bring Rolling Loud to India,” said Matt Zingler, CEO and Founder of Rolling Loud. “The energy from the fans was incredible and seeing international artists share the stage with some of the best talent coming out of India made it really special. We’ve always believed hip-hop is global, and India is becoming an important part of that story. Year two is about building on what we started and taking it even bigger.”

Rahul Ganjoo, CEO, District, said, “When we brought Rolling Loud to India, we were confident it would resonate. What we saw in year one went further than that: the kind of love for a festival at this scale that we haven't seen before in the Indian market. That response is what's shaping how we're building the 2026 edition. We're excited to have India experience the World's Largest Hip-Hop Festival once again.”
