Rolling Loud Heads to India for Global Festival Expansion
Rolling Loud is bringing its high-energy hip-hop experience to India, marking the seventh international stop for the world’s largest hip-hop festival. India’s booming rap scene, home to vibrant subgenres like Punjabi, Haryanvi, and Malayalam hip-hop, has captured global attention over the past decade. Organizers say the move celebrates the country’s cultural diversity and aims to create a powerful meeting point for international and local artists.
“We never imagined Rolling Loud would take us all the way to India — it’s incredible. The hip-hop scene in India has been booming, and bringing the festival to India felt like the right decision. We’re excited to create a space where Indian fans can celebrate the artists they love, while also introducing international acts to a new audience. For us, it’s always been about building community through hip-hop — and we can’t wait to experience how India shows up.”
