Rolling Loud re-posted the message on their Stories and, minutes later, shared a new lineup that includes Ken Carson as the replacement Sunday headliner. “PLEASE WELCOME OUR NEW SUNDAY HEADLINER, @kencarson,” reads the caption alongside the lineup poster.

The festival kicks off Friday at Camping World Stadium in Orlando, Florida, with headliner Don Toliver, while Playboy Carti is at the top of the bill for Saturday. Carson wasn’t previously on the bill before stepping in as the new Sunday headliner.

Other rappers performing this weekend include Sexyy Red, Chief Keef, EsDeeKid, Destroy Lonely and PlaqueBoyMax.

This marks the first time Rolling Loud has taken place in Orlando, following 10 stints at its original Miami home. Orlando marks the only U.S. Rolling Loud stop scheduled for this year, previously hosting events in the New York and Los Angeles areas as well. They’ve also gone international, with the last overseas Rolling Loud event taking place last year in India with headliners Central Cee, Wiz Khalifa, Karan Aujla and Toliver.

Carson — who scored his first Billboard 200 No. 1 album last year with More Chaos — was originally set to headline Rolling Loud Australia this year before the March festival was canceled.
