Ken Carson is heading to Rolling Loud Orlando.
The multi-platinum Atlanta artist has been added to the festival’s 2026 lineup, where he will close out the Under Armour stage on Sunday, May 10. The performance marks a notable first for Carson, who has appeared across the Rolling Loud circuit in recent years but has not previously held a Sunday closing slot at the festival.

The announcement arrives during a major stretch for Carson, who continues to build on the success of his 2025 album More Chaos. The project earned him his first No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and followed the momentum of 2023’s platinum-certified A Great Chaos, which featured the Hot 100-charting track “Overseas.”
Carson recently wrapped his “WTF” European and UK tour, bringing his live show to nine cities overseas. The run featured songs from More Chaos and A Great Chaos, along with fan favorites including “Yale,” “Rock N Roll” and “Freestyle 2.” Across the tour, Carson also teased unreleased material, giving fans a preview of what may come next.
Before that international run, Carson joined Playboi Carti’s Antagonist 2.0 Tour, which ended in Carson’s hometown of Atlanta. His past year has also included a string of new releases, including “the acronym” with Destroy Lonely, “yes,” “catastrophe” and “margiela.”
Outside of music, Carson has continued to expand his presence in fashion and culture. He was recognized on Variety’s Young Hollywood Impact Report and has appeared in campaigns for Y/Project x Heavn by Marc Jacobs and SKIMS x Cactus Plant Flea Market. He has also collaborated with Jesse Jo Stark’s Deadly Doll line and Affliction.
Following Rolling Loud Orlando, Carson is set to continue his international festival schedule this summer with headlining appearances at Splash! in Germany from July 2–4, Openair Frauenfeld in Switzerland from July 9–11 and Frequency Festival in Austria on August 22. Additional dates and new music are expected to be announced.
With more than 4 billion streams, over 230,000 tickets sold globally and recent gold RIAA certifications for “Succubus,” “SS,” “Jennifer’s Body” and “I Need You,” Carson’s Rolling Loud Orlando set adds another high-profile stage to what has become one of his biggest runs yet.
