On May 9, 2026- Rolling Loud continued with the energy from the day before with performances by Playboi Carti that also announced that he will be releasing a new album! The lineup also had artists such as; Rich The Kid, Destroy Lonely, BLEOOD, Fakemink, HXG, Nine Vicious, and Molly Santana. Playboi Carti delivered one of the festival’s most anticipated performances of the weekend at the Under Armour Stage. Backed by jaw-dropping pyrotechnics, towering visuals, and relentless energy from the crowd, the set reached another level when Carti brought out Destroy Lonely, HXG, and Ken Carson, who premiered a snippet of a new single.

Willie “Prophet” Stiggers, co-founder, president, and CEO of the Black Music Action Coalition (BMAC), took the main stage to spotlight the proposed Restoring Artistic Protection (RAP) Act, federal legislation designed to limit the use of artists’ creative expression, including rap lyrics, as evidence in criminal and civil cases to protect First Amendment rights. The powerful moment quickly became one of unity and activism as the crowd joined Prophet in a chant against racism.

The last day will have performances by Ken Carson, Sexxy Red, BossMan Dlow, NoCap, OsamaSon, Che and Plaqueboymax
