Rolling Loud New York Day 2: Uzi, Rocky, A Boogie, Thugger, and More Close Out a Successful Fest.
The world’s biggest rap festival brand and the nation’s biggest city were a match made in heaven this weekend, as 120,000 fans flocked to Citi Field for Rolling Loud New York. Boasting an undeniable lineup packed with A-list stars, rising phenoms, and local heroes, RLNY provided an unforgettable experience for the sold out crowd–and attending celebs like Kevin Durant, Rihanna, and Succession’s Nicolas Braun.
The festival closed out with twin headlining performances from Lil Uzi Vert and hometown hero A$AP Rocky, joined onstage by 50 Cent, Swae Lee, and A$AP Mob, and offered thrilling sets from young superstars like Juice WRLD and DaBaby, local heroes like Action Bronson and A Boogie, and established icons like Pusha T and Curren$y. But perhaps the most rapturous reaction was saved for Lil Tecca, who performed his chart-topping hits and popped up at regular intervals throughout the weekend.
Check below for some of the best photos of the day’s most memorable moments.
