Rolling Loud has expanded to multiple cities, countries, and continents, but Miami will always be its home. In advance of this year’s Rolling Loud Miami 2023, happening this weekend at Hard Rock Stadium, Rolling Loud hosts Rolling Loud Week, a series of community-focused events happening around the city, presented alongside partners that include the Miami HEAT, BMAC, Forever21, and more. Ranging from rallys with members of Congress to streetwear pop-ups and more, Rolling Loud Week demonstrates the festival’s dedication to its hometown and advocacy for hip-hop culture in the city and beyond.
Headlined by Travis Scott, A$AP Rocky, and Playboi Carti, Rolling Loud Miami 2023 boasts the festival’s most expansive lineup to date. For the first time, Rolling Loud branches out to include artists from across the genre spectrum who bring a hip-hop ethos to the music they make, including alt-pop sensation Foushee, Latin music stars Anuel AA and El Alfa, and hardcore punk band Turnstile. Fans can expect Rolling Loud Miami to bring a diverse complement of surprises and special guests into the fold. Rolling Loud Miami returns for its eighth edition on July 21-23, 2023 at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, FL.
