Hip Hop Festival Rolling Loud New York Is Live Streaming
There are so many festivals to choose from nowadays. Hip Hop fans have the option to attend South By Southwest in Austin, TX, A3C Festival in Atlanta, GA, or ComplexCon in Los Angeles, CA. But, there is one festival that is making a name for itself for being the premiere festival for this era of Hip Hop, Rolling Loud.
What started off as an idea to bring rappers who were not mainstream but had a SoundCloud or social media following together ended up being a brilliant vision to service the fans who wanted to know what’s next.

Founded by Tariq Cherif and Matt Zingler, the festival started in 2014 in Miami, FL. Over time, the festival grew to a multiple day event in locations around the world, including Los Angeles, The Bay Area, Australia, Hong Kong and now, New York.
“Our first event was 7,000 people, a single day, and then we went to a parking lot after that which held 15,000, and we did two days,” Zingler said.
Rolling Loud knows their clientele, too. Fans now have access to an app that’s everything Rolling Loud. On the app, people can buy tickets, view the lineup and set times for each festival location, network with like-minded individuals and watch the live stream.
Even more dope is the fact that fans can buy their tickets using Rolling loud’s layaway plan. Tickets can be purchased with $29.99 down. The remaining cost includes two payments that amount to $249 and an additional $30 fee. This is the perfect scenario for the youthful and unconventional demographic of people who have interest in the festival.
Innovative and forward-thinking, Rolling Loud is all about the next wave. The New York festival spans over two days from Oct. 12-13 at Citi Field, where the New York Mets play. There will be a total of 3 stages, the Fashion Nova stage, DRYP stage and Sauce stage. The lineup is on point, as well. Mainstream artists that will grace the stage include, A$AP Rocky, Lil Uzi Vert, Meek Mill, Travis Scott, Wu Tang Clan, Gunna and Fat Joe.
But, the pressure doesn’t stop there. Some of the most highly demanded, non-mainstream artists will be there, too, including Lil Gotit, Jay Critch, Leeky Bandz, Calboy, Lil Tjay, Chinese Kitty and Lil Keed will be in the building. Check out more set times below.
The next location for Rolling Loud will be in Hong Kong on Oct. 19-20 and Los Angeles on Dec. 14-15. VIP tickets for the LA location are already sold out. Buy tickets HERE.
