Rolling Loud California 2025 has unveiled its official lineup, stirring a mix of excitement and criticism among fans. The festival, scheduled for March 15-16 at Inglewood’s Hollywood Park, features A$AP Rocky, Playboi Carti, and Peso Pluma as headliners. Organizers Tariq Cherif and Matt Zingler announced that this year’s event will be shortened to two days, a change aimed at making the festival more affordable for fans.
The headliners will perform alongside a diverse array of over 75 acts, including YG, Quavo, Ken Carson, and Ski Mask the Slump God. Tickets, which go on sale January 10, start at $179 for general admission, with VIP passes priced at $499. Fans traveling from outside California can find accommodation options through partner hotels listed on the festival’s official website.
As the announcement gained traction online, fans expressed both excitement and disappointment about the lineup. Critics labeled it the “worst lineup ever,” citing frustrations over the absence of new albums from A$AP Rocky and Playboi Carti, whose long-awaited releases, Don’t Be Dumb and I AM MUSIC, remain delayed. “If Rocky and Carti don’t drop their albums by March, there’s absolutely no reason to go to Rolling Loud,” one user commented.
Despite the criticism, many fans highlighted the lineup’s appeal, calling it a rare opportunity to see both Rocky and Carti at the same festival. Peso Pluma’s debut at Rolling Loud also generated buzz, with supporters eager to see him perform on the iconic stage. Some praised the festival’s decision to feature a variety of artists at a more accessible price point, calling the event “super slept on.”
While opinions about the lineup are divided, Rolling Loud California 2025 continues to uphold its reputation as one of the premier hip-hop festivals, promising unforgettable performances and vibrant energy. As the event draws closer, fans and critics alike will be watching to see how the festival lives up to expectations.
