Rolling Loud India 2026 lineup: Burna Boy, Metro Boomin on Day 1, Karan Aujla and Skepta on Day 2

Short answer: the Rolling Loud India 2026 lineup splits cleanly by taste. Saturday 12 December is the global-star day: Burna Boy, Metro Boomin and Big Sean, all in India for the first time. Sunday 13 December belongs to Karan Aujla, back as headliner for a second year, with UK grime star Skepta (also a debut), ScHoolboy Q and Seedhe Maut. It's in Mumbai, tickets start at ₹5,500 on District, and the one big unknown is where: the venue hasn't been named.

Rolling Loud India 2026 lineup, day by day

This is the bill as Rolling Loud, District, Rolling Stone India and CNBC-TV18 published it on 19 October. Set times and stage splits haven't been released.

District's artist list also shows Mary Ann Alexander, who wasn't in the day-wise press lists. CNBC-TV18 counts more than 10 of the 30 acts with Indian roots, spread across Punjabi, Haryanvi, Tamil, Marathi and Gujarati rap.

What's actually new this year

• Four India debuts, and two of them are on the same day. Burna Boy (Grammy winner for Twice as Tall) and Metro Boomin (producer for Future, 21 Savage, Drake, Travis Scott and The Weeknd) both play Saturday. Skepta's set on Sunday is billed by CNBC-TV18 as his "first and only appearance in India", weeks after his album The Fork and Knife (due 6 November).
• A Sidhu Moose Wala thread on Day 1. Burna Boy and producer Steel Banglez, who's also on Saturday's bill, are both credited on Sidhu Moose Wala's posthumous single "Mera Na" (April 2023), which Banglez produced. Nobody has announced a joint moment, but for a lot of Indian fans that's the reason to pick Saturday.
• Karan Aujla is the only repeat headliner. At the 2025 edition he became the first Punjabi artist to headline Rolling Loud India; he now closes Sunday again. Robb Bank$ is the other returning name.
• Fewer Indian superstars at the top than last year. The 2025 bill had DIVINE and Hanumankind alongside Aujla. This year the Indian slots lean towards scene favourites like Seedhe Maut and Dhanda Nyoliwala; District's CEO Rahul Ganjoo said the bill was built from "cyphers, small shows" rather than social-media popularity.

Which day should you book? Use the planner

The planner runs in your browser. It uses the day-wise lineup published on 19 October and District's pay-later terms (50% now, balance by 20 November). Set times aren't out, so it can't tell you about clashes within a day yet.

Tickets: price, pay later and the refund window

• Where: only the District app and website; District is the festival's ticketing and production partner. The HSBC presale ran 29 September to 1 October, and general sale has been open since 1 October, 1 PM, which means early buyers paid before a single artist was named.
• Price: District's listing showed ₹5,500 onwards when we checked at 3:40 PM IST on 19 October. An earlier cached copy of the same page showed ₹4,500 onwards, so the entry price looks to have stepped up; if you're going to buy, the live price is the only one that counts.
• Reserve now, pay later: pay 50% upfront and the rest by 11:59 PM on 20 November 2026. Put that date in your calendar; CNBC-TV18 reports the balance deadline but not what happens to an unpaid booking, so read District's terms before you rely on it.
• Refund Guaranteed: an optional District feature that covers eligible cancellations made by 1 December 2026, under the platform's terms.
• Gates and age: the show starts at 3 PM; tickets are needed for everyone 7 and above. District lists food stalls (veg and non-veg), free water stations, medical support and wheelchair-accessible washrooms, with "limited" wheelchair accessibility overall.

The venue question, and why it matters for your booking

Last year's edition ran at Loud Park, Kharghar, a purpose-built ground in Navi Mumbai that organisers pitched for its Navi Mumbai Metro access. For 2026, District says only "Venue to be announced, Mumbai", and Rolling Stone India expects venue and schedule details "in the coming weeks". That's why "rolling loud venue" was the top rising search today.

In practice: if you're travelling from outside Mumbai, book refundable trains, flights and hotels until the venue is named, because a Navi Mumbai ground and one in Mumbai proper mean very different commutes and hotel areas. The pay-later balance (20 November) and the 1 December refund cut-off both fall weeks before the show, so if the venue is named in the "coming weeks" as expected, you should know it before you have to pay in full.

We'll update this page when Rolling Loud India names the venue, releases set times, or District changes ticket prices.
