Rolling Loud India 2025 is set to make its inaugural appearance on November 22 and 23 at Loud Park in Navi Mumbai. The festival has revealed an impressive lineup that is already generating excitement among fans. Headlining the event are renowned artists such as Wiz Khalifa, Central Cee, Don Toliver, and Karan Aujla, one of India’s most prominent rap talents.
The co-founders and co-CEOs of Rolling Loud, Tariq Cherif and Matt Zingler, expressed their enthusiasm for Aujla’s inclusion, stating, “To have Karan Aujla headline this debut is historic – the first time an artist from the host country will lead the bill at an international Rolling Loud.” This acknowledgment highlights the significance of Aujla’s role in promoting India’s burgeoning music scene on a global stage.
In addition to the headliners, the festival will feature an array of exciting performers. Notably, Divine will deliver a special performance, marking a milestone as the first Indian MC to sign with Nas’ Mass Appeal. Other notable names on the lineup include Denzel Curry, NAV, Ski Mask The Slump God, Westside Gunn, DaBaby, 310babii, Swae Lee, Hanumankind, Sheck Wes, and Chow Lee, among many others.
This event marks the first time Rolling Loud is expanding its reach to India, and the anticipation surrounding the festival suggests it could be a resounding success. The festival is known not only for its electrifying live performances but also for facilitating collaborations among artists on its roster. For example, the collaboration between Ski Mask and Kyle Richh, titled “Spin,” debuted earlier this year and showcased the potential for cross-genre partnerships.
The possibility of new collaborations during the festival could further bridge India’s hip-hop scene with international names, enhancing the experience for both artists and fans. Rolling Loud’s reputation in the festival circuit suggests that this could pave the way for more events in various countries in the future.
As the festival date approaches, ticket holders can begin to curate their playlists in anticipation of the performances. The excitement is palpable, and fans eagerly await the live clips that often emerge from Rolling Loud events, promising an experience filled with unforgettable moments.
