Rolling Loud is making a bold return to the U.S. in 2026 with a single flagship event, taking over Camping World Stadium in Orlando, Florida from 8th to 10th May. This marks a major evolution for the world’s largest hip hop festival, which typically hosts multiple American editions each year. For 2026, the festival will present just one massive U.S. edition—bringing together global stars, new voices, and an audience eager to celebrate the full spectrum of hip hop.

Headlining the three-day event are Playboi Carti, Don Toliver, and YoungBoy Never Broke Again, each representing different lanes of the genre’s current landscape. The wider lineup spans generations and subcultures, with Chief Keef, Sexyy Red, Pooh Shiesty, Destroy Lonely, and SahBabii all confirmed. Rising stars including EsDeeKid, Che, Nettspend, Xaviersobased, TiaCorine, and PlaqueBoyMax also feature prominently.

Rolling Loud’s 2026 edition is being hailed by organisers as a “new chapter” for the brand. Moving to a new city and venue, the festival’s team says this year’s programming is designed to showcase “where hip hop is today” while keeping tickets accessible. GA passes start at $279 USD, with VIP options from $599. Additional international editions are planned for Australia and Europe later this year.

Following its recent global expansions, including a massive debut in India and upcoming stops in Sydney and Melbourne, Rolling Loud 2026 in Orlando will be the only U.S. chance for fans to experience the full production, curated lineup, and signature chaos the brand is known for. With over 70 artists announced, it’s set to be one of the biggest hip hop events of the year.

AURA Festival will return to Bulgaria in 2026 for its most ambitious edition yet, taking place from 19th to 21st June at the newly expanded Sofia Airport Park. The three-night electronic music festival has revealed its genre-spanning lineup and a major site upgrade that includes extended hours, immersive production and a fresh chapter in its ongoing conceptual narrative.

The 2026 theme, “Temple of EOS”, continues AURA’s multi-year story world—this time exploring light, reflection and transformation. Each night will unfold as a unique chapter across multiple stages, showcasing large-scale visual installations, stage architecture, and sunrise sets running until 6:00am. The move to Sofia Airport Park eliminates the previous 23:00 curfew, allowing for a full overnight experience.

Headliners for this year include trance titan Armin van Buuren, melodic house icon ALOK, and festival heavyweight Dimitri Vegas. Italy’s 999999999 and Japan’s Yousuke Yukimatsu bring high-intensity techno and experimental energy, while Mahmut Orhan, Topic, Jesabel and BIIA contribute a broader melodic and progressive sound. Bulgarian acts including Gallya and World Up DJs also feature across the weekend.

With Bulgaria’s adoption of the euro in 2026, travel has become more seamless than ever for European visitors, adding to the festival’s appeal. Combining world-class music, a powerful conceptual backdrop, and an upgraded venue with longer hours, AURA Festival 2026 is shaping up to be a landmark event on Europe’s summer calendar.
