Rolling Loud India 2026 Lineup: Burna Boy, Skepta, Karan Aujla
The hip-hop festival returns to Mumbai on 12 and 13 December with 30 acts, more than ten of them with Indian roots, though the venue has not been named yet.
Thirty acts will play the second Rolling Loud India in Mumbai on 12 and 13 December, and four of the international names on top of the bill have never performed in India. Burna Boy, Metro Boomin, Skepta and Big Sean all make their debuts here. Karan Aujla, who headlined the first edition, closes the second night again.
The festival is run with District, which sells the tickets. Its event page puts the first edition's attendance at more than 65,000 at Loud Park last year. For 2026 the page says only "venue to be announced, Mumbai", with gates opening at 3 pm.
Who plays when
Saturday belongs to Burna Boy and Metro Boomin. Burna Boy won the Grammy for best global music album with Twice As Tall. Metro Boomin is the producer behind records for Future, 21 Savage, Drake and The Weeknd. Big Sean, GoldLink, Dhanda Nyoliwala, slayr, Paal Dabba, Steel Banglez, SoSoCamo, Jorjiana, Vichaar and Snappy Kaal are also on day one.
Sunday is Aujla and Skepta. The British rapper's festival set is billed as his only India show, and it comes five weeks after The Fork and Knife, due on 6 November. That is his first solo album since Ignorance Is Bliss in 2019. ScHoolboy Q, Seedhe Maut, BabyChiefDoIt, Wazir Patar, Raja Kumari, Mary Ann Alexander and NAVZ-47 fill out the night.
The Indian half of the bill
More than ten of the 30 acts have Indian roots, and the languages run wider than last year: Punjabi from Aujla and Wazir Patar, Haryanvi from Dhanda Nyoliwala, Tamil from Paal Dabba, Marathi from MC Gawthi and Gujarati from Snappy Kaal.
"At the first edition, the crowd didn't thin out between the international sets and the Indian ones, and that told us the audience was already a step ahead of the industry," said Rahul Ganjoo, District's chief executive.
