Prominent hip-hop festival Rolling Loud has bittersweet news for its fans and planned attendees. The event organizers announced another setback for the annual event which was originally planned to take place next month in Miami.
Rolling Loud Festival Is Delayed Again
Despite the unfortunate news that the festival won’t be taking place in May, Rolling Loud also announced new dates from July-23-25, 2021 at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens.
Organizers made sure to assure any tickets purchased for the original show would be refunded if the buyer can’t make the new dates, along with “sweetening” the deal for those who choose to keep their tickets.
Thank you all for your patience. We kept the faith as long as we could for the May dates, but ultimately we still face challenges that prevent us from gathering together at Rolling Loud Miami in early May. With that being said, we are excited to announce that Rolling Loud will now take place on July 23-25, 2021 at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens!

Lil Wayne Blames Cops For Rolling Loud Disappearance
In May 2019, Grammy-winning rapper Lil Wayne came clean on what really went down at a Rolling Loud music festival. Weezy F. Baby issued a statement on why he went ghost for his performance.
Wayne explained through Twitter that law enforcement – not the Rolling Loud organizers – ultimately cost fans the chance to see him on-stage.
“To all my fans who came to see me at Rolling Loud, I’m sorry but I won’t be performing. The Festival Police (Not Rolling Loud) made it mandatory that I had to be policed and checked to get on the stadium grounds. I do not and will not ever settle for being policed to do my job.”
