Rolling Loud is bringing another major lineup to Mumbai, with Metro Boomin and Big Sean set to make their India debuts this December. The festival announced its 2026 lineup on Monday (Oct. 19), confirming that the two will join Burna Boy for the opening day of the two-day event. ScHoolboy Q and GoldLink are also on the bill, bringing together international stars and performers from India's growing Hip Hop scene.
The festival is scheduled for December 12 and 13, marking its second consecutive year in Mumbai. According to Rolling Stone India, Metro Boomin will headline the first night alongside Burna Boy, with Big Sean and GoldLink also set to perform. The following evening will feature Skepta and Punjabi rapper Karan Aujla as headliners, with ScHoolboy Q joining the lineup. Indian acts Dhanda Nyoliwala and Seedhe Maut are also scheduled to appear.
For Metro and Sean, the booking puts the longtime collaborators on the same festival bill. The two released their joint album Double Or Nothing in 2017, and Metro has previously defended their collaboration against criticism. Although their appearances are scheduled for the same day, organizers haven't announced whether they'll share the stage.

Rolling Loud Continues Building Its Presence In India
The upcoming event follows Rolling Loud's debut in India last year, when the festival expanded into Mumbai through a partnership with entertainment platform District. Its inaugural lineup featured Wiz Khalifa and Don Toliver, alongside homegrown performers, including Karan Aujla. The Punjabi star's return gives the second edition a familiar headliner while organizers introduce several artists who have never performed in the country.
Rolling Loud co-founder Matt Zingler told Rolling Stone India that the reception from Indian audiences influenced this year's programming. "One thing that really stood out to us in India was how open the fans were to everything," he explained. Rather than separating international performers from India's own Hip Hop artists, organizers have placed both throughout the two-day schedule.
