Wizkid, Future to headline 2022 Rolling Loud music festival in Canada

Wizkid, the award-winning Nigerian singer; Future, the US rapper; and Dave have been named as the headlining artistes for the 2022 edition of Rolling Loud music festival.

The trio would headline the three-day event scheduled to hold between September 9 and 11 in Ontario, Toronto, Canada.

Rolling Loud is considered to be one of the largest hip-hop festivals in the world.

This makes it the first time the music festival would take place outside the United States in its history. It is also the first time Canada would host the music festival.

“This is our first year in Canada and we’re hyped! Rolling Loud Toronto is the beginning of something beautiful for the city,” organisers of the festival tweeted on Tuesday.
