If and When is Rolling Loud Scheduled in 2021?

When the pandemic unexpectedly hit us back in 2020, it took its toll on events we had been looking forward to all year. Rolling Loud was one of those poor festivals that had to pay the price and was unfortunately canceled for precautionary measures. However, Cherif, Zingler, and their team have taken their time to plan the event to be conducted life and without significant risk. Although it was scheduled to be back in February of 2021, the edition was pushed further forward. Mark your calendars for the festival returns to Miami in May 2021. Rolling Loud will be a three-day event, starting 7^th May.

Who is Organizing and Who Will be Coming?

Good news for those who were upset they could not see their favorite musicians and singers perform in 2020. The annual music festival will be back this year, featuring the same line-up that was promised in 2020. This means that you can get the exclusive chance to witness giants like A$AP Rocky, Travis Scott, and Post Malone perform all under the same roof! Furthermore, you can expect artists that were not part of the line-up in the previous year to perform too. Although this is the plan, the line-up may be subject to change like it is generally with music festivals. But rest assured, the founders and organizers, Tariq Cherif and Matt Zingler, have strived to ensure that any disappointments do not mar your festival-going experience, and they know their job pretty well. So, we can expect Rolling Loud to be back with a bang!

Where is Rolling Loud 2021 Scheduled in Miami?

Book your flights to Miami, for it is the destination of our favorite music festival in 2021. Rolling Loud is destined to be held at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens. Although it is technically a football stadium located in Miami’s suburbs, the stadium is multipurpose in its functionality, also excellently hosting events like Music festivals. The best thing about the destination is that you get to enjoy a vantage point of view of the music industry’s top names from the stands as you sing along to their songs.

The stadium is approximately 23.2 km by road from Miami, meaning that you would have to look for transit options to get to the destination. If you are wondering what options may be available, here are a few:

1. Car

The cheapest way to et from Miami to Hard Rock Stadium is via your car, given that you have one. The drive costs somewhere between $1 and $3, which is a great price for a commute. The trip usually takes around 17 minutes.

2. bus
