Rolling Loud Orlando have announced a major lineup change for the final day of the event. Rising Atlanta rapper Ken Carson will now headline Sunday night, replacing NBA YoungBoy on the festival’s main stage.
The update comes just one day before the festival kicks off, prompting excitement from fans of Ken and the Opium collective. While the reason behind YoungBoy’s removal from the lineup has not been officially detailed by festival organizers, the new booking ensures the event still ends with a high-energy performance.

NBA Youngboy Shares A Message To Fans
Youngboy would share the following Instagram story mentioning he won’t be making it this time and that he would be needing some time away from traveling and performing. While the message was not received well by some fans who were eager to see him perform in Orlando, Rolling Loud would quickly announce his replacement in Opium’s very own Ken Carson.
Ken Carson’s Rapid Rise in Hip-Hop
Ken Carson has quickly become one of the most talked-about artists in modern rage rap. Signed to Playboi Carti’s Opium label, Carson has built a dedicated fanbase through projects like A Great Chaos and high-energy performances that translate perfectly to festival stages.
His appearance as a headliner at Rolling Loud Orlando marks one of the biggest festival slots of his career so far. Fans attending Sunday night can expect mosh pits, heavy bass, and some of Carson’s most popular tracks closing out the weekend. As someone who attended Ken’s latest show in Orlando for his AGC tour, I can assure you the energy will be high and the rage will be real.
What Fans Can Expect Sunday Night
Ken Carson’s Sunday performance will likely feature songs from his recent releases along with crowd-favorite tracks that have become staples at his shows like Fighting My Demons and Succubus. Given the energy surrounding Opium artists at festivals, his closing set could easily become one of the most memorable moments of the weekend.
We also would not be surprised to see Ken perform songs alongside Destroy Lonely, so be sure to stay tuned to both sets.
