Rolling Loud continues to put on some of the best festivals in the world such as in Miami, New York, Los Angeles, the Bay Area, and Australia. The sixth annual Miami festival was supposed to take place next month from May 8-10 but the situation regarding the coronavirus (COVID-19) has been closely monitored. RL said back on March 13 that preparations would go on for the festival but now, things have sadly taken a turn for the worst.
RL announced on their Instagram and Twitter accounts that they were hopeful that the spread of the virus would slow down by now but were still aware that they’re might’ve been a possibility that they would have to postpone it. Postponement is the decision now as they said that COVID-19 has spread to “tragic levels.”
The Miami Festival will now take place on President’s Day weekend all the way in 2021 from February 12-14. The venue will remain the same at Hard Rock Stadium with the same lineups. Among the headliners that were set to take the stage next month were A$AP Rocky, Travis Scott, Post Malone, 21 Savage, Big Sean, Roddy Ricch, Lil Uzi Vert, Gucci Mane, Megan Thee Stallion, and more.
As far as other festivals in 2020, Rolling Loud is still planning on them going on. They will have a festival in Portugal in July, NYC in September, and the Bay Area in December. It would’ve been nice to be able to reschedule Miami for sometime this year but it looks like this wouldn’t have worked for many of the artists on the lineups. Check out their full statement regarding the Miami postponement below.
