Rolling Loud has officially confirmed that its flagship hip-hop festival will touch down in **Orlando, Florida** as its **only U.S. stop in 2026**, locking in a three-day takeover at Camping World Stadium from **May 8–10, 2026**, with presale tickets starting at **$249**. According to the festival’s official site and recent coverage, the move marks a major shift from its long-running Miami run, as organizers reposition Rolling Loud’s U.S. presence around a single, large-scale event built to host rap heavyweights like A$AP Rocky, Playboi Carti, Future, Cardi B, Travis Scott, and more in one market.[5][3][2]
Organizers describe the Orlando edition as the brand’s new **anchor event** in the States, billed as the “world’s largest hip-hop festival” and now consolidated into one definitive U.S. experience for 2026.[3][1] Rolling Loud 2026 is scheduled for **Camping World Stadium** in downtown Orlando, a venue designed for major sporting and entertainment events and capable of hosting tens of thousands of traveling fans.[1][3] Co-founder and co-CEO Matt Zingler explained that shifting to Orlando and returning to a summer calendar allows the festival to “be more accessible for fans” and “expand our footprint” without compromise, emphasizing a strategy focused on long-term growth and scale, according to Billboard and regional reports.[2][1]
Presale tickets reportedly go live **Friday, January 9 at 10 a.m. ET** through Rolling Loud’s official channels, with **entry-level pricing starting at $249** and layaway plans advertised around **$9.99 down**, plus an exclusive 2026 Rolling Loud T-shirt for early buyers.[1][3] Local Orlando coverage notes that tickets start at $249 with payment plans available, aligning with independent festival reports that flag the $249 tier as the opening “all-in” presale price.[3][1] Prices are expected to rise after the initial presale window, and the full lineup has not yet been revealed, with organizers keeping headliners and undercard acts under wraps for now.[1][3] Fans can also expect the return of **“RL Week”**—a run of pre-parties, afterparties, and citywide activations that will reportedly stretch across Orlando from May 6–13.[3][1]
The relocation underscores how Rolling Loud is reshaping its U.S. identity after years of editions in **Miami, New York, and Los Angeles**, while the brand continues to scale globally with scheduled 2026 stops in **Sydney and Melbourne, Australia**, and a return to India later in the year.[2][1][4] For hip-hop culture, concentrating its American footprint into one Orlando festival raises the stakes: instead of splitting lineups across multiple U.S. cities, Rolling Loud is positioning 2026 as a single, must-attend destination where marquee rap names and emerging artists share one massive stage—potentially redefining how fans experience large-scale hip-hop festivals moving forward.[1][3][4]
