“Ken Carson and Underground Stars Dominate Orlando Finale” – The Source “could have another niche superstar on its hands that the mainstream won’t be able to ignore.” – Billboard “understood the assignment as a headliner looking to make a statement to hip-hop.” – Billboard
“Carson delivered the kind of set that felt bigger than just another festival performance.” – Billboard May 11, 2026 – Last night, Sunday, May 10th, multi-platinum recording artist Ken Carson delivered a career-defining performance at Rolling Loud Orlando 2026, closing out the Under Armour Stage with his first-ever Sunday night headlining set at the festival. Performing in front of a massive, packed crowd, Ken brought his signature high-energy chaos to the stage, previewing music from his highly anticipated forthcoming studio album, the xperiment, alongside fan favorites like “Lord of Chaos,” “Blakk Rokkstar,” “i need u,” “Rock N Roll,” and “the acronym,” as well as additional tracks from his Billboard No. 1 album More Chaos, his critically acclaimed project A Great Chaos. The set also featured a string of surprise appearances from some of hip-hop’s biggest names, including Lil Tecca performing “Tic Tac Toe,” Destroy Lonely performing “Singapore,” Young Thugperforming “Yuck,” and Opium founder Playboi Carti performing “Cover My Ears,” with each artist delivering multiple moments throughout their appearances, sending the crowd into a frenzy. Ken kept the momentum at full intensity throughout the night, running through selections from across his catalog alongside additional unreleased material and a new track produced by 2hollis, offering an early look at what’s next from his upcoming project. Having appeared across Rolling Loud lineups over the past several years, Sunday night marked another defining moment in Ken’s meteoric rise from cult favorite to one of rap’s most explosive live performers, solidifying his status as one of the defining voices of his generation. In recent months, he completed his headline sold-out “WTF” tour across Europe and the UK, joined Playboi Carti on the nationwide “Antagonist 2.0 Tour,” and continued expanding his influence across music and fashion through collaborations with brands including Affliction, SKIMS x Cactus Plant Flea Market, and Jesse Jo Stark’s Deadly Doll line. Ken will continue his international festival run this summer with appearances at Splash! Festival in Germany, Openair Frauenfeld in Switzerland, and Frequency Festival in Austria, with additional music and live dates expected soon. |
