The World’s Biggest Rap Festival Expands to Canada, Recruiting an International Array of A-Listers and Rising Stars to the Great White North
TORONTO, ON – Expanding from a Miami institution into a global behemoth in seven short years, Rolling Loud is not done growing. Today, the World’s Premier Rap Festival announces Rolling Loud Toronto, its first ever festival in Canada and its fourth festival in four different countries in 2022. Making a new home in the most multiculturally diverse city in North America, the upcoming Rolling Loud Toronto recruits headliners Future, WizKid, and Dave to lead a bill filled with ultra-talented artists from across the globe. Located in Ontario Place, a gorgeous space on the shores of Lake Ontario that overlooks the famous Toronto skyline, Rolling Loud Toronto makes its debut on September 9th-11th, 2022. Tickets for Rolling Loud Toronto go live at 12PM EST on Friday, April 29th.
For its first Canadian festival, Rolling Loud curated its most diverse and wide-ranging North American bill to date. Beyond the headliners, Rolling Loud Toronto brings American rap stars and Rolling Loud regulars like Lil Uzi Vert, Migos, Roddy Ricch, Trippie Redd, Lil Yachty, and A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie, alongside Canadian rap titans like NAV, Belly, and Pressa, UK top men including Skepta, Central Cee, and AJ Tracey, and Afrobeats giants like Rema. Like all Rolling Loud festivals, the upcoming event prominently features some of the hottest rising names in rap, like Lil Tecca, BIA, Ski Mask The Slump God, and many more.
Rolling Loud Toronto continues a massive year for Rolling Loud, who warmed up for a loaded festival season with a standout showcase at SXSW, headlined by Don Toliver and showcasing some of rap’s hottest up-and-comers. Rolling Loud is hard at work in preparation for this summer’s Rolling Loud Miami 2022, boasting perhaps the most impressive group of headliners in Rolling Loud history: Kanye West, Kendrick Lamar, and Future. With those superstars leading an array of A-listers and red hot risers, Rolling Loud Miami returns to Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, FL on July 22nd-24th.
Led by its founders Matt Zingler and Tariq Cherif, Rolling Loud is on a mission to top their massively successful 2021. Rolling Loud Toronto continues the brand’s international expansion, coming on the heels of Rolling Loud Portugal (July 6-8th, 2022) and WOO HAH! Fest in the Netherlands (July 1st-3rd). Stay tuned for many more announcements, as Rolling Loud continues to lead the vanguard of live music experiences in hip-hop and beyond.

The Background:
Founded by 5-time Billboard Hip-Hop Power Players Matt Zingler & Tariq Cherif as a one-day Miami show, Rolling Loud has grown into a global festival phenomenon, putting on shows on both coasts and in multiple countries. Rolling Loud is the premier festival brand in hip-hop, known for its expert curation of wide-ranging lineups that reflect the state of the genre.
The festival returned from a 18-month hiatus with the sold out Rolling Loud Miami 2021, its biggest event yet, bringing in over 85,000 fans per day to Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, FL. With headliners like Post Malone and A$AP Rocky, Rolling Loud Miami 2021 was a triumphant return for live rap music, and a coming out party for risers and new superstars eager to play in front of a festival crowd. Rolling Loud Miami kicked off a massive year for the festival brand, arriving ahead of Rolling Loud New York 2021, and Rolling Loud California, headlined by J. Cole, Kid Cudi, and Future.
