Rolling Loud New York 2021 came to a close on Saturday (October 30th) after a first day dominated by hometown rappers was followed by J. Cole’s unforgettable performance in a torrential downpour. Inclimate weather was once again in the forecast, but this time around, festivalgoers came more prepared for the elements, bringing along ponchos or rain jackets. In comparison to the night before, Travis Scott dealt with lighter rain, which was probably a good thing considering how hard he and his fans raged throughout his performance. Meanwhile, Griselda played their more traditional brand of hip-hop, and Roddy Ricch continued to develop as a star performer. A$AP Ferg took his audience’s energy levels to their max and City Morgue joined their fans in the pit. Young Nudy played one of the more la...
Day 2 of the 2021 edition of Rolling Loud New York brought mega-Spooky Season weather, as temperatures dipped and the evening culminated in some unfortunate rain on Friday, October 29th.

If you’re not on the ground during the Halloweekend fest, live vicariously through our visual recap of Day 2, which also featured sets from Wale, Bas, Kaash Paige and many more, below.

Playboi Carti took the Audiomack stage around 9:15 p.m., and there was no chance the Atlanta rap superstar would let Cole show him up at a festival known for raging and mosh pits. By the time Carti pulled up in an all-black outfit to the sounds of “Stop Breathing,” the rain had begun to pour heavily, setting up the scene for one of the most wildest sets at Rolling Loud. Fans were taking off and throwing their clothes, jewelry and whatever else was on their body as King Vamp instructed them to go wild while he segued into “Rockstar Made,” “Teen X” and “JumpOutTheHouse.” Once Carti dove into his feature on Ye’s “Off the Grid,” the ground began to shake, causing festival-goers to let off all their pent-up energy. J. Cole and hi...
If the Day 1 theme of Rolling Loud New York 2021 was hometown rappers reigning supreme, the driving force on Friday (October 29th) was Mother Nature. Beginning as a crisp, overcast autumn day with winds strong enough to tip over garbage cans, it started drizzling around 7:30 p.m. before giving way to a full-blown rainstorm shortly after J. Cole took the main stage at 8:45. The Dreamville founder was unfazed by the weather, giving an all-time performance that those in attendance will never forget. Meanwhile, City Girls and Ski Mask the Slump God carried stage presences that demanded reciprocal energy from the crowd, Wale showed the breadth of his catalog after an unplanned set time switch, and Bas gave a sneak peek of his boss’ headlining set while playing his most popular cuts to a lo...
Lil Uzi Vert‘s performance at Miami’s Rolling Loud music festival back in May was almost his most costly performance ever. At the beginning of this year, the “XO Tour Llif3” rapper had a pink “10 almost 11 carat” diamond surgically embedded in his forehead. The diamond cost $24 million and he said that he had been paying for it since 2017. Vert reportedly had it implanted in his forehead because he was afraid he’d lose it otherwise. “I’ve been paying for a natural pink diamond from Elliot for years now,” he said in a January 2021 tweet. “This one Stone cost so much I’ve been paying for it since 2017. That was the first time I saw a real natural pink diamond.” Shortly after, he dove into the Rolling Loud f...
Since it became clear that Lollapalooza would be the first major multigenre U.S. festival since the start of the pandemic, promoters hoped it would kick off a shortened but vital festival season, with Bonnaroo, Governors Ball and Firefly scheduled to follow in September. But circumstances have changed as another wave of COVID-19 cases spreads — along with fears that festivals could become super-spreader events. In Chicago, one source tells Billboard that, as Lollapalooza approached, promoters grew nervous that public health officials would impose limits on the event’s capacity. Live Nation and rival AEG have already worked out a compromise with the major talent agencies in case other festivals are forced to cancel. If that happens 30 to 60 days before the event, the promoter only has to pa...
Local outlets have reported a large video screen at Miami’s Rolling Loud event collapsed Thursday evening, just one day before the three-day hip-hop festival’s kickoff. Lauren Pastrana of Miami’s CBS 4 shared aerial footage depicting the large screen on the ground. Not long after, Rolling Loud organizers shared a message acknowledging the collapse and ensuring fans that the show will go on as planned this weekend. They also announced that no one was injured in the accident. The news comes just days after reports started spreading that Kanye West will perform songs from his highly anticipated 10th studio album, Donda, at the festival this weekend. Gesaffelstein recently shared a preview of a song from the album that he produced titled “No Child Left Be...
A couple of weeks ago, Rolling Loud announced its California lineup for this December, which featured pretty much every rapper who’s released an album since the beginning of 2020.

While most 2021 festivals have been forced to schedule atypical dates due to the pandemic, Rolling Loud Cali is still set for December — the 10th-12th, to be exact, marking an expansion from two days to three. Taking place at San Bernardino’s NOS Events Center, the 2021 fest will be headlined by Kid Cudi, Future, and (fresh off his career in the Basketball Africa League) J. Cole. Chris Brown and Young Thug are also billed as “special guests,” as the duo are set to perform their 2020 mixtape Slime &...
