It’s official: Ye and Kendrick Lamar will headline Rolling Loud this summer. The two hip-hop giants join the likes of Future, Three 6 Mafia, Saweetie, and more for this concert. The news spread around social media Tuesday as the official Rolling Loud Twitter account posted about the event. Kendrick Lamar previously performed at the festival in 2017. In 2021, Ye made a surprise appearance at Rolling Loud California alongside Future.
Last year’s headliners included Travis Scott, A$AP Rocky, and Post Malone. It was a memorable event due to technical difficulties and a bizarre homophobic rant from DaBaby. In the aftermath of DaBaby’s rant, he apologized, and was back performing later that year with 50 Cent. Fans hoped Travis Scott would be at this year’s fest. However, he has other things to worry about after his own controversy.
The Headliners Are Keeping Busy
Kanye is accumulating his own attention, making headlines every week over a public feud with his estranged wife Kim Kardashian. Despite the negative press, he is receiving positive feedback on his Netflix documentary Jeen-Yuhs. The three-part docuseries premiered last month and features clips of the rapper’s life from over the last decade. Fans of Kendrick Lamar, however, are frustrated over the rapper’s lack of music releases. Rumors the Compton rapper will soon drop another album were circulating even last year. Kendrick recently announced he’s leaving Top Dawg Entertainment. He’s allegedly working on his final album under the record label. No word yet on whether he will continue to release music under a different company.
Ye takes the stage on day 1, Future performs on day 2, and Kendrick performs on the final day. Over 100 acts can be seen over the festival’s three-day span. The festival will take place at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida from July 22 to July 24. Tickets will go on sale March 7 at 12 p.m Eastern Time.
