Performers on Day 1

Burna Boy and Metro Boomin close out on Day 1, both on an Indian stage for the first time ever. Until now, Indian fans have had to travel abroad or watch from a screen to see either of them live. However, Rolling Loud India 2026 is about to change that.

Burna Boy, who won the Grammy Award for Best Global Music Album with ‘Twice as Tall' and became the first African artist to headline a UK stadium, performs in India for the first time.

He is famous for his dark, cinematic beats and collaborations with artists such as Future, 21 Savage, Drake, Travis Scott, and The Weeknd, will also be playing his first set in India at the Rolling Loud India stage.

Joining the line up is multi-platinum album, Grammy-nominated rapper and songwriter, Big Sean, in his first-ever performance in India.
