Hip-hop's biggest festival is about to bless Australian soil.

Rolling Loud is hallowed ground for any rapper of the new school. Any rapper who is culturally and commercially vital has proven themselves on its stages and in January 2019, the festival will bring itself closer to the region with a one-day-only staging in Sydney.

Today, Rolling Loud Australia announced its first wave lineup and the names on the bill testify to the festival's fidelity to the zeitgeist: Future, Lil Uzi Vert, Tyga, Plaboi Carti, Smokepurpp and Manu Crooks. 

As its poster assures, the festival will be adding more names to the roster, eventually. 

Rolling Loud Australia happens on Sunday, January 27 2019, at the Sydney Showground. Presale of tickets will begin this Friday at 7am Singapore time here. For more information, click here.
