Rolling Loud Australia is set to take place across two cities in March: Sydney’s Centennial Park on March 7, and Melbourne’s Flemington Racecourse on March 8. The twin one-day events mark Rolling Loud’s first shows in Australia since 2019, and the first time the global hip-hop festival brand has expanded to a two-city format in the country.
According to organizers, pre-sale tickets sold out within hours of going live, and general tickets are now on sale via australia.rollingloud.com. Promoters have confirmed that the full festival lineup will be announced in the coming weeks and will include a mix of major international acts and leading Australian artists.
Since breaking through in 2023, Sexyy Red has achieved several Billboard chart milestones. Her highest Hot 100 placement came in November 2024, when she reached No. 10 as a featured artist on Tyler, The Creator’s “Sticky” alongside Lil Wayne and GloRilla. She first entered the Hot 100 with the “Pound Town” remix featuring Nicki Minaj, and followed that with her viral hit “SkeeYee,” which peaked at No. 62 and topped the inaugural TikTok Billboard Top 50. She also appeared on Drake’s “Rich Baby Daddy” (No. 11) and scored her first top 20 solo hit in 2024 with “Get It Sexyy,” which peaked at No. 20.
On the Billboard 200, her 2024 mixtape In Sexyy We Trust debuted at No. 17, following her 2023 breakout Hood Hottest Princess (No. 62). In recognition of her independent rise, she was named Billboard’s Indie Rapper of the Year in 2025.
Rolling Loud co-founders Matt Zingler and Tariq Cherif, both named multiple times on Billboard’s Hip-Hop Billboard Hip-Hop Power Players list, continue to expand the brand globally. Alongside its flagship Miami festival, Rolling Loud has produced shows in Europe, Asia, Canada, and the Middle East. The franchise also recently announced its debut in India for 2025.
The festival first landed in Australia in 2019, with the debut including performances from Future, Playboi Carti, Rae Sremmurd, Tyga, and a surprise appearance from a then-rising The Kid LAROI.
