The world’s largest hip-hop festival celebrated its 10 year anniversary at the Hollywood Park grounds adjacent to SoFi Stadium in Inglewood from March 14-17. The festival included chart-topping headliners such as Future X Metro Boomin, Post Malone, Nicki Minaj and ¥$ Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign who all took to the various stages for a star-studded lineup. Thursday night ¥$ performed their new album “Vultures.”
In addition, Friday night Nicki Minaj performed her new album “Pink Friday 2”. Saturday night Post Malone performed his classic hits such as, “Congratulations.” On Sunday, Future X Metro Boomin performed their new album “We Don’t Trust You”. The performances were held on the sponsor stages presented by Ethika, Culture Kings and Gopuff. James T. Butts, the Mayor of Inglewood and Rolling Loud Co-Founder/Co-CEO Tariq Cherif greeted the crowd and thanked everyone for attending the festival.
In the 10 years of Rolling Loud’s existence, they have remembered a hip-hop legacy with the late XXXTentacion, Pop Smoke, JuiceWRLD, Young Dolph and Nipsey Hussle, who all graced the stages as fans waited hours for their sets to start. Some might say the festival is comparable to Woodstock, being a historic festival with late music stars who changed the way music is made for the better.
Based on the comments left on Rolling Loud’s social media accounts, followers from around the globe suggest Rolling Loud travel to South America and Africa as well. Rolling Loud’s decade-long festivities have traveled to Germany, Miami, New York City, Portugal and Thailand to name a few locations. It is a rare festival with premium talent and successful artists, Chino Pacas and That Mexican OT introduced the “trap corrido” sound to the California lineup on Friday and Sunday.
When attendees were not in the mosh pit, they could be found at the countless activities, carnival rides, tattoo parlor, barbershop and more. Also, Rolling Loud partnered with Family Style Food Fest, “LA’s most popular and influential food festival”, according to Alexandra Lange of Audible Treats. Rolling Loud offers VIP tickets that include access to the 21+ Loud Club, private VIP merch, seated cooling areas, live art installations, Bunny’s Bae Bar, front row stage viewing access and much more. Plus, Rolling Loud offers their Loud Punx memberships which allows members to attend lifetime tickets for future Rolling Loud festivals.
