Playboi Carti Delivers 24-Song Set at Rolling Loud 2026 — Full Setlist & Highlights

Playboi Carti headlined Day 2 of Rolling Loud 2026 in Orlando, Florida on Saturday, May 9, closing out the night with a 24-song set on the Under Armour Stage at Camping World Stadium. The Playboi Carti Rolling Loud 2026 performance went down at 9:30 PM ET before a sold-out crowd of tens of thousands.

Carti’s headlining slot anchored the festival’s most anticipated day, centered around the Opium wave currently dominating rap’s live scene, with rage-heavy performances and internet-era breakout acts filling all three stages from the early afternoon. Fans began flooding Camping World Stadium hours before his scheduled start, making the build-up itself part of the event.

Playboi Carti at Rolling Loud: His 6th Time Headlining

Carti returned to Rolling Loud as a headliner for the sixth time, arriving off the back of his MUSIC album and an extensive run of shows throughout 2025. No active rapper has headlined Rolling Loud more consistently in the current era — and each time, the production and crowd response has escalated.

Rolling Loud co-founder Tariq Cherif described the 2026 lineup as “a statement,” saying that Carti, YoungBoy Never Broke Again, and Don Toliver each represent different forces shaping hip-hop right now. Of the three headliners, Carti’s slot carried the heaviest anticipation going into the weekend.

For fans who couldn’t make it to Orlando, the full set streamed live via Amazon Music, Prime Video, and Twitch throughout the weekend.

Key Highlights From the Set

Ken Carson joins for an unreleased collab. The biggest talking point of the night came midway through the set when Ken Carson walked out for an unannounced, never-before-heard track. The two then performed “Rockstar Made” back to back, giving the crowd back-to-back Opium moments. Carson is also set to headline Sunday at Rolling Loud after stepping in to replace NBA YoungBoy, who pulled out of the festival shortly before it began.

EVILJORDAN opens the main run. After a brief warm-up with “HOODBYAIR” and “POP OUT,” Carti shifted into EVILJORDAN — his highest-charting solo single to date, which debuted at number two on the Billboard Hot 100 upon release. The crowd response confirmed it as one of the set’s peak moments.

FEIN brings out the MUSIC era energy. The Travis Scott collab track remains one of the most reliable crowd-movers in Carti’s live catalog. Its inclusion in the Orlando set drew an expected reaction — one of the loudest of the night.

Show stops, then comes back stronger. At the 1:04 mark, the show paused — a brief technical or production hold — before Carti returned with “On That Time,” one of the most fan-requested deep cuts in his catalog. The moment turned a potential awkward break into a highlight.

ALL RED closes as a Summer Smash teaser. The set ended with “ALL RED” introduced explicitly as a Summer Smash 2026 intro, pointing directly to Carti’s next major festival appearance at Lyrical Lemonade’s event in Chicago on June 14.

The Opium-Heavy Day 2 Lineup

Saturday’s full card alongside Carti featured sets from Destroy Lonely, FakeMink, Rich the Kid, and Adamn Killa. The day reflected Rolling Loud’s increasing focus on the next generation of internet-driven rap stars — artists who built audiences through TikTok edits, Discord fanbases, and streaming before ever stepping on a major stage. Destroy Lonely and Homixide Gang helped prime the crowd’s energy well before Carti closed things out.

What’s Next for Carti

With Rolling Loud Orlando done, Carti’s next confirmed festival date is Summer Smash 2026 in Chicago on June 14 at Seatgeek Stadium, headlining the closing night of Lyrical Lemonade’s annual event. North West, Lil Uzi Vert, Baby Keem, Skrillex, and Chief Keef are among the other names on the lineup.
