Rolling Loud is set to return to Portugal this week with hip hop lovers from across the world flocking to Praia da Rocha beach in Portimão for the highly anticipated event. The music festival, which begins on the 5th of July and will run into the early morning of 8th of July 2023, has a legion of acts set to perform with headliners including Travis Scott, Playboi Carti and Meek Mill.

Aitch, Central Cee, D-Block Europe, Digga D, Nines, Russ Millions and Tion Wayne are among the UK-based artists who will be jetting to the Algarve to delight fans with their biggest hits. Other well known international musicians listed to perform include Latto, Gucci Mane, YG and Soulja Boy. 

Since hip-hop event promoters Matt Zinger and Tariq Chief debuted Rolling Loud in Florida eight years ago, it has become known as the world’s largest hip-hop festival and is set to expand into three new countries this year - The Netherlands, Thailand and Germany.

Tariq explained the purpose of the festival to NME, saying: It aims to “bring happiness to millions of people while promoting and nurturing hip-hop culture.” The event also puts up and coming talented artists on the radar of hip hop fans, when they have “barely” started streaming.
