The UPROAR Hip-Hop Festival Experience

UPROAR will be an experiential summer night complete with music, dancing, art, food and drinks, and much more. The action will begin as soon as attendees pass through the Coliseum gates.

In addition to highly anticipated live performances, attendees can enjoy mixes from a live DJ and hit the dance floor in between sets. Festival-goers can explore, browse and shop throughout the designated Vendor Village featuring dozens of local vendors, and nosh on food and beverages served by LA’s best eateries. There’s also a beer garden to boot, plus basketball hoops for the “3 Point Cut” experience and Selfie Stations complete with plexiglass mirrors so guests can perfectly capture and record all the action.

Lil Wayne is passionate about sharing inspiration and encouraging others to do the same, so fittingly, mediums of expression beyond music that will be featured at UPROAR include dance and art -- and up-and-coming creators can get in on the action early. In the months before the event, submissions will be accepted for the Dance Competition and Art Walk. Details will be available on June 1st on @GKUAOfficial Instagram. Dance teams will be competing for the chance to win a performance on the big stage for next year’s UPROAR in 2022. For those whose chosen form of creativity is two-dimensional, UPROAR will also have an Art Walk showcasing rising star artists. 

As an added bonus, UPROAR’s VIP Club offers VIP in-person guests access to a relaxing space to kick back with friends while being entertained. The MC host will broadcast interactions with celebrity guests and performers straight from the VIP Club. In addition, VIP Ticket holders can access the celebrity wall to catch moments with celebrity guests and artists.
