Kid Cudi will replace Kanye "Ye" West as headliner at the 2022 Rolling Loud Festival in Miami, after Ye unexpectedly dropped out. The festival will take place from Friday, July 22 to Sunday, July 24 at Miami's Hard Rock Stadium, with Cudi taking over the first-day appearance originally scheduled for West. The festival tweeted that Ye would no longer be appearing at the annual event "due to circumstances outside of our control. "
Tariq Cherif and Matt Zingler, the co-founders of Rolling Loud, said in a separate statement: "We were looking forward to Ye headlining Rolling Loud Miami 2022. We spent months working with him and his team on the performance. Unfortunately, Ye has decided that he will no longer be performing." The statement added that this is the first time a headlining act has decided to pull out of Rolling Loud.
Additional headlining acts include Future on Saturday and Kendrick Lamar on Sunday. Other notable artists slated to perform throughout the three days include 2 Chainz, Lil Uzi Vert, Kevin Gates, Kodak Black, and A$AP Ferg.
