His new solo album The Fork and Knife is scheduled for release on November 6, 2026, his first solo project since Ignorance Is Bliss in 2019.

Indian Hip-Hop Takes a Bigger Share of the Bill

- Tamil rap: Paal Dabba
- Marathi rap: MC GAWTHI

Matt Zingler, co-founder of Rolling Loud, said the mix of international and Indian acts was a direct response to how the 2025 audience reacted to the festival.
“One thing that really stood out to us in India was how open the fans were to everything. If the music connects, they show up for it. That’s influenced how we’ve approached this year’s lineup – bringing international and Indian artists together across both days and making it feel like one festival, not two different worlds.” – Matt Zingler, co-founder of Rolling Loud
