7 Best Moments From Rolling Loud Miami 2024: Travis Scott’s Helicopter, Playboi Carti’s New Music & One Fiery Future

In the ten years that Rolling Loud has grown into the world’s premiere hip-hop music festival, the genre has expanded into one of the most consumed styles of music as the Internet continues to function as a home for myriad subcultures. With the Miami, Fla. iteration of Matt Zingler and Tariq Cherif’s iconic festival returning for its tenth anniversary amid one of the most culture-shifting years in hip-hop history — Kendrick v. Drake, anybody? — Rolling Loud achieved the delicate balance of honoring the fest’s legacy while also positioning it for a markedly genre-expansive future.

In addition to being Billboard 200 chart-toppers and visiting the Billboard Hot 100‘s top 10 this year, all three of the weekend’s headliners — Future, Travis Scott and Playboi Carti — have also previously headlined Rolling Loud Miami. A staple of the festival, Future rocked the first night of the weekend on Friday (Dec. 13) with a flaming career-spanning set that served as a tasteful victory lap to his seismic 2024. The “Like That” rapper closed out a day that included praiseworthy sets from Atlanta MC Anycia, 2024 breakout star Bossman Dlow, R&B newcomer Isaiah Falls, Tyga, Rick Ross, JT and We (Still) Don’t Trust You collaborator Metro Boomin.

On Saturday, the festival began its foray into the country scene, tapping Cowboy Carter collaborator Reyna Roberts to help kick off the day. Her spunky, rock-infused country set prepared the stage for a stacked day of notable sets including sexy drill pioneer Cash Cobain, R&B star 4Batz, NOLA MC Rob49, and the horrorcore-nodding Kxllswxtch.

Scott — who has previously headlined Rolling Loud Miami four times over — closed the night with an elaborate performance that combined cinematic video interludes and megastar power (shoutout to Owen Wilson) with an approach to performance that prioritized both physicality and intimacy. Finally, Playboi Carti closed out Sunday (Dec. 15) — which included the festival’s first-ever Christian hip-hop set, courtesy of Jon Keith, GAWVI and Alex Jean of Darkchild‘s Alienz Alive label — by debuting new music from his forthcoming I Am Music album and delivering a set that combined the starling powers of raging, moshing and streaming.

Here are seven of the most unforgettable Rolling Loud Miami’s tenth anniversary.
