History
editThe festival was founded in 2015 by Matt Zingler and Tariq Cherif, who met in elementary school in Hollywood, Florida.[2][5] Once in high school, the pair began organizing and promoting parties which "leaned heavily on a mix of Southern and Midwestern rap".[2] They moved on to professional live music events in 2010, beginning with an after-party headlined by Rick Ross.[2] By the summer of 2013, they were hosting monthly events in Miami featuring up-and-coming artists like Travis Scott and Kendrick Lamar.[6] The pair also promoted artists from Florida's burgeoning SoundCloud rap scene under the brand name Dope Entertainment before noticing the need for a genre-specific music festival.[7][8]
The first Rolling Loud took place in Miami, Florida in February 2015 and featured artists such as Schoolboy Q, Juicy J, Currensy, and Action Bronson in the one-day event.[2][9] It took place at Soho Studios in the Wynwood district of the city, though the venue was temporarily flooded during the event due to rain.[7]
In 2016, Rolling Loud was held at the larger Mana Wynwood convention center and featured Ty Dolla $ign, Young Thug, and Future as the headlining acts.[7]
In 2017, Rolling Loud moved to Bayfront Park in Downtown Miami.[7] Since 2018, it has been hosted at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens. 2017 was also the year the festival expanded to other cities with the inaugural editions of Rolling Loud Bay Area[10] and Rolling Loud Southern California.[11]
In 2019 Rolling Loud added Rolling Loud Australia in Sydney, Australia and Rolling Loud NYC to their list of host cities.[12] In the same year, they announced Rolling Loud’s first European festival would take place in Portugal[13] and would be held in July, 2020.
However, the 2020 festival originally scheduled to take place from May 8 to May 10 in the US was rescheduled for July 23 to July 25, 2021, in response to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic in the United States.[14] The first European edition also had to be rescheduled for 2021 due to similar circumstances in Portugal.
In 2021, Rolling Loud hosted a post-pandemic festival in Miami, with more than 200,000 attendees. The festival included a collaboration with WWE, which broadcast portions of SmackDown from the main stage.[15][16]
In 2022, Rolling Loud continued to expand to other countries. Rolling Loud's first partnership with a European festival was announced in 2021 as a collaboration with the 2022 edition of WOO HAH![17] held in Hilvarenbeek, Netherlands from July 1–3, 2022.
After being postponed in 2020 and 2021[18] due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Rolling Loud Portugal took place on July 6–8, 2022. In Canada, Rolling Loud Toronto took place on September 9–11, 2022. The festival's California edition took place at Inglewood's SoFi Stadium for the first time on March 3–5, 2023. On October 25, 2022, the festival announced its first edition in Thailand, which took place from April 13–15, 2023.[19][20][21]
In 2023, after a successful partnership for the production of Woo Hah! 2022 in the Netherlands, Rolling Loud Rotterdam was launched on June 30–July 1, 2023. A third location of Rolling Loud in Europe was announced to take place in Germany, making its debut in Munich from July 7–9, 2023.
