Rolling Loud Miami 2024: Key Festival Times & Logistics
The 2024 edition of Rolling Loud Miami takes place from Friday, December 13, to Sunday, December 15, at the iconic Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, FL. This year marks a welcome shift from the brutal summer heat of previous years, but the energy remains non-stop. Here is the full breakdown of the daily operating hours and the must-know schedule for the main acts.
Official Daily Operating Hours (Gate Times & Curfew)
Understanding the gate times is crucial for getting through security and staking out a prime spot for the early acts. The festival operates on a slightly different schedule on Friday compared to the weekend days.
- Friday, December 13: Gates open at 3:00 PM. The music runs until Midnight (12:00 AM).
- Saturday, December 14: Gates open earlier at 1:00 PM. The music runs until Midnight (12:00 AM).
- Sunday, December 15: Gates open at 1:00 PM. The music runs until the final Midnight (12:00 AM) curfew.
The midnight curfew each night is a hard stop, meaning the final headliner will typically be scheduled to finish their set right at that time. Plan your exit strategy accordingly to avoid the peak rush.
Headliner Set Times: Don’t Miss the Main Event
The headliners are the main draw, and their set times are the most coveted pieces of information. While the full schedule features over 111 artists across multiple stages—including the Amazon Music Stage, GoPuff Stage, and Snipes Stage—the main stage headliners command the final slot of the night.
Friday, December 13 (Headliner: Future & Metro Boomin)
- Future & Metro Boomin: Expected to take the main stage between 10:45 PM – 12:00 AM.
- Key Support Acts: Yeat, Lil Yachty, Trippie Redd, and Tyga will be playing in the hours leading up to the headliner.
Saturday, December 14 (Headliner: Travis Scott)
- Travis Scott: Expected to take the main stage between 10:45 PM – 12:00 AM.
- Key Support Acts: Don Toliver, Sexyy Red, Ski Mask the Slump God, and Lil Tjay are scheduled throughout the day.
Sunday, December 15 (Headliner: Playboi Carti)
- Playboi Carti: Expected to take the main stage between 10:45 PM – 12:00 AM.
- Key Support Acts: Lil Baby, Bryson Tiller, and Ken Carson will be among the last performers before the festival concludes.
Essential Logistical Times: Transportation, Bags, and Afterparties
Getting to and from Hard Rock Stadium efficiently is critical to a good festival experience, especially with the late curfew. Your timing for transportation and bag check can save you hours of waiting.
Transportation and Shuttle Times
Traffic and parking at Hard Rock Stadium during Rolling Loud are notoriously difficult. The festival strongly encourages using rideshares or the official shuttle service to avoid the stress of driving and expensive advance parking.
- Brightline Shuttle Service: A complimentary shuttle service is available for attendees who purchase a ticket for the Brightline train to the Aventura stop. This is a highly recommended option for those staying in Fort Lauderdale or Downtown Miami.
- Rideshare (Uber/Lyft): Expect surge pricing and long wait times, particularly between 11:30 PM and 1:00 AM. If using a rideshare, consider walking a few blocks away from the stadium's designated zone to catch a ride faster.
- Parking: Advance parking passes are available for purchase, but they are limited and costly due to high demand. Arriving early (before 2:00 PM) is the only way to minimize parking delays.
Pro Tip: Plan to arrive at the stadium at least 45 minutes before your first desired set time to account for security lines, especially on Friday when the gates open later.
The Critical Bag Policy Time Saver
Failing to comply with the clear bag policy is the fastest way to add 30+ minutes to your entry time. Security is strict, and knowing the rules beforehand is a major time-saver.
- Clear Bag Policy: Only clear plastic, vinyl, or PVC bags are permitted. They must not exceed 12” x 6” x 12”.
- Small Clutch/Fanny Pack: Small clutch bags or fanny packs (non-clear) are allowed, but they must be no larger than 4.5” x 6.5”.
- Prohibited Items: Do not bring backpacks, large purses, glass containers, glow sticks, or metal containers.
If your bag does not comply, you will be turned away and forced to return the item to your car or a locker, wasting valuable festival time. This policy is strictly enforced from the moment the gates open until curfew.
After Hours: Official Rolling Loud Afterparty Times
The music doesn't stop at midnight. For those looking to keep the energy going, Rolling Loud hosts official "After Dark" events at some of Miami's most famous nightlife venues. These events typically begin shortly after the festival curfew and run into the early morning.
- Start Time: Official afterparties generally begin around 11:00 PM – 11:30 PM, overlapping slightly with the final headliner set, and continue until 5:00 AM.
- Key Venues & Acts:
- E11EVEN Miami: Known for hosting the biggest post-festival events, including an appearance by Travis Scott.
- LIV: A staple for high-profile hip-hop afterparties.
- Ocean's Ten: Hosted a Metro Boomin afterparty event on Friday night (December 13).
Tickets for these official afterparties are separate from the festival pass and should be secured in advance. They are a fantastic way to see artists like Denzel Curry, Lil Baby, or other special guests in a more intimate setting after the stadium shuts down.
