Rolling Loud Moves to Hard Rock Stadium, Announces 2018 Lineup

After a controversial yet successful third edition at Bayfront Park, Rolling Loud announced today that this year's festival will take place at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, far from the NIMBYs who've taken up residence in the über-expensive condos along the downtown Miami stretch of Biscayne Boulevard.

Last year's show also seemed like it wouldn't happen following a move from Wynwood to downtown, after residents cried foul, saying they already have to put up with disruption from another major music festival, Ultra. Miami Commissioner Frank Carollo, who oversees the Bayfront Park Management Trust, claimed he wasn't informed that 40,000 people would be attending the three-day event. Despite the political posturing, Rolling Loud was allowed to move forward, but the kerfuffle led to the resignation of park director Timothy Schmand.

Hard Rock Stadium seems like a good choice for the festival because the sprawling sports venue is far from any major residential areas.

Despite the obstacles the festival has faced in Miami, Rolling Loud still debuted two new editions, in San Bernardino and Mountain View, California, last year. Seeing the festival grow quickly from its first edition in Wynwood, which had plenty of hiccups, to a coast-to-coast brand is nothing short of amazing.

If the news of the move isn't enough, the festival also has announced its full lineup. This year's headliners include J. Cole, Travis Scott, and Future, while N.E.R.D., Cardi B, Lil Uzi Vert, Migos, Wiz Khalifa, Lil Wayne, and Post Malone can also be found on the stacked bill.

Tickets will go on sale Friday, February 2, at 10 a.m., and the festival will offer payment plans.
