The second day will bring Aujla alongside Skepta as the main performers, with Schoolboy Q, Seedhe Maut, BabyChiefDoIt, Wazir Patar, Raja Kumari, Mary Ann Alexdander, ApolloRed1, Robb Banks, Shikriwal, Navz-47, MC Gawthi, The Spindoctor and 2slimey to complete the lineup, closing out day two.
The distribution of Indian acts versus the international ones includes a 10-out-of-30 ratio. Matt Zingler, Co-Founder and CEO, Rolling Loud says, “One thing that really stood out to us in India was how open the fans were to everything. If the music connects, they show up for it. That’s influenced how we’ve approached this year’s lineup - bringing international and Indian artists together across both days and making it feel like one festival, not two different worlds.”
The popular hip-hop festival arrives in India for only the second time, bringing back Aujla as its headliner for the second year in a row, following his appearance during the debut edition. Back then, he became the first Punjabi artist to headline Rolling Loud. He led the event alongside Central Cee, Don Toliver and Wiz Khalifa. Other artists in the lineup included DIVINE, Hanumankind, NAV, Swae Lee, Denzel Curry and DaBaby, among others.
