After an initial postponement of the lineup, Rolling Loud India 2025 has now unveiled its full lineup. Khalifa last performed in India at the TimeOut72 Festival in Goa in 2017, while Punjabi-Canadian star NAV made his India debut last year in Mumbai and returns for Rolling Loud’s first outing in India.

The festival will feature the India debut of hip-hop hitmakers such as Swae Lee, DaBaby, Denzel Curry, plus Don Toliver, Sheck Wes, Ski Mask The Slump God, Westside Gunn, 310babii, Yung Fazo and more.

Rolling Loud India’s lineup also includes a nod to desi diaspora stars like Gurinder Gill, AR Paisley, Yung Raja and others. Rising international rappers like Chow Lee, Robb Bank$, Sixbill, Allyn and more also make their way to India this November.

Indian artists repping at the festival are Marathi rap star Sambata, Mumbai-based Shreyas, Tamil rapper and singer-songwriter Arivu, Shillong’s Meba Offilia, Reble, New Delhi-origin Zefaan, Mumbai collective Wild Wild Women, DJ Proof and others.

Produced in an exclusive partnership with District by Zomato, general ticket sales open at 3 PM today, Sept. 8, 2025 on District.

“Rolling Loud’s mission has always been to cultivate hip-hop on a truly global scale, and bringing the festival to India has been a goal of ours for years,” said Matt Zingler & Tariq Cherif, Co-Founders/Co-CEOs of Rolling Loud. “To have Karan Aujla headline this debut is historic – the first time an artist from the host country will lead the bill at an international Rolling Loud. Alongside new headlining turns from Central Cee and Don Toliver, this lineup reflects both the worldwide power of hip-hop and the rising strength of India’s own scene.”

District by Zomato CEO Rahul Ganjoo added in his statement, “The quality of this lineup reflects hip-hop’s force as a global connector. With artists at the peak of their craft, the first-ever Rolling Loud India promises to be nothing short of epic.”
