Mumbai, Are You Ready to Go Loud?
Rolling Loud — The World’s Biggest Hip-Hop Festival — Is Coming to India for the First Time Ever!
Yes, you read that right. The global mecca of hip-hop, the festival that’s redefined live rap music experiences from Miami to LA to Thailand, is about to drop its biggest beat yet — right here in Mumbai!
If you live, love, and breathe hip-hop, this is your Super Bowl. The wait is officially over. Rolling Loud India is locked, loaded, and ready to set the stage (and our hearts) on fire.
Founded in 2015 by childhood besties and now hip-hop moguls Matt Zingler and Tariq Cherif, Rolling Loud began as a gritty underground party for South Florida’s rap lovers. Fast forward a decade, and it’s now the undisputed heavyweight champ of hip-hop festivals — lighting up the skies in the U.S., Europe, Australia, and Asia with names like Travis Scott, A$AP Rocky, Future, and Playboi Carti headlining crowds that go absolutely wild.
And now, India joins the club.
“We never imagined Rolling Loud would take us all the way to India — it’s incredible,” say Matt and Tariq. “The hip-hop scene here is booming, and Mumbai just felt right. We want to give fans a space to go all-out for the music they love — and introduce global acts to one of the most passionate audiences in the world.”
Why Rolling Loud India Is More Than Just a Festival
This isn’t your average weekend concert. Rolling Loud India, produced in partnership with District by Zomato, is a two-day culture-storm that’s about to shake up the live music landscape in ways we’ve never seen before.
Here’s what to expect:
- Two massive stages featuring a killer mix of international icons and India’s finest hip-hop talent
- An all-star lineup that bridges global swagger with desi fire
- Immersive art, jaw-dropping production, and vibes that scream street culture
- Epic food & drink pop-ups repping local and international flavours
- Fashion drops, community spaces, and experiences that reflect hip-hop as a lifestyle, not just a sound
A Cultural Shift, Not Just Another Show
As Rahul Ganjoo, CEO of District by Zomato, puts it:“India’s hip-hop scene is on fire — raw, real, and ready. Rolling Loud isn’t just another festival drop; it’s a cultural shift. It’s the moment we connect India’s sound with the global beat. This is louder than music — this is a movement.”
He’s right. Rolling Loud isn’t just a show — it’s where the next generation of voices, styles, and movements are born. It’s where brands meet Gen Z, where creators find their tribe, and where hip-hop lovers from all walks of life can find their rhythm in a crowd that just gets it.
