Rolling Loud Confirms Christian Hip Hop Stage For Orlando Festival

Rolling Loud proudly calls itself “the world’s largest hip hop festival,” and that claim is not much of a stretch. Even though the event has only been around for just under 11 years, its growth has been rapid and undeniable. The festival has expanded to multiple countries, consistently pulling in massive crowds while booking some of the biggest and most talked about names in the culture.

But Rolling Loud’s impact is not just measured by attendance numbers or star power. A big part of its identity comes from how broad its musical scope has become. The festival has made a point to spotlight artists from across the hip hop spectrum, embracing everything from mainstream chart toppers to scenes that usually sit on the fringes.

That approach was especially clear at Rolling Loud Miami in 2024, when organizers introduced a dedicated space for Christian rap. The subgenre is often overlooked or dismissed, but that segment proved its value. GAWVI, Alex Jean, Caleb Gordon, Jon Keith, nobigdyl., and Hulvey made up the first lineup, and the response showed there was real interest and energy around it.

The momentum continued into the 2025 California edition, where Miles Minnick made history as the first Christian rapper to land his own standalone set at the festival.

Now, for 2026, Rolling Loud is bringing that focus back. At the Orlando festival, which will be the only U.S. Rolling Loud event that year and the first time the city has hosted it, Christian hip hop will once again get its own dedicated day. This time around, the lineup looks largely refreshed, with DJ Five Venoms and Trendsetter Sense serving as hosts.

"The Chosen Journey Set will star Caleb Gordon, 1K Phew, WHATUPRG, Nathan Davis Jr., Anike, and Kijan Boone. It's going to take place on the last day of Rolling Loud Orlando, Sunday, May 10, per Rapzilla.

This addition helps round out an already stacked lineup. The headliners are just as major, with Don Toliver, NBA YoungBoy, and Playboi Carti leading the charge across the three day festival.

Camping World Stadium will serve as the home base for the event and will also feature performances from EsDeeKid, Chief Keef, Nettspend, Sexyy Red, PlaqueBoyMax, Che, and more. Tickets are currently available, with full three day passes priced at $249 USD.

Before Orlando kicks off, Rolling Loud will begin its 2026 run overseas, launching the year in March with its second stop in Australia.
