Rolling Loud Selects Orlando as Its Only U.S. Festival Stop in 2026

Rolling Loud, widely regarded as the world’s largest hip-hop festival, has confirmed Orlando as its only United States destination for 2026, marking a major shift in the event’s domestic footprint.

The three-day festival is scheduled to take place from May 8 to May 10 at Camping World Stadium, positioning Central Florida as the exclusive American host for the globally recognized brand next year. Organizers say the move allows Rolling Loud to expand beyond the festival grounds and integrate the event more deeply into the city’s entertainment ecosystem.

In addition to the main concert dates, Rolling Loud plans a week-long series of related events across Orlando. These include pre-parties, afterparties, and large-scale theme park activations, collectively branded as “RL Week,” running from May 6 through May 13. The extended programming is designed to transform the festival into a citywide experience rather than a single-location event.

While the 2026 artist lineup has not yet been announced, Rolling Loud events are known for featuring top-tier hip-hop acts and attracting tens of thousands of fans. Past editions have included some of the genre’s most prominent names, reinforcing the festival’s reputation as a major cultural gathering point.

Festival leadership said Orlando was chosen for its accessibility, infrastructure, and long-term potential. The decision also reflects a broader strategy to bring Rolling Loud back into a summer-focused schedule while concentrating resources on one flagship U.S. location.

Ticket sales have not yet begun, but organizers confirmed that general admission pricing is expected to start at $249, with payment plans available. Additional details, including lineup announcements and event logistics, are expected in the coming months.
