Rolling Loud’s touchdown in the region has been a long time coming – the Pattaya event comes four years after the famed hip-hop festival’s planned Asian debut in Hong Kong was cancelled in 2019.

Coinciding with the Songkran holiday, Rolling Loud Thailand boasts an extensive line-up featuring over 60 rap and R&B heavyweights from around the region and the globe. Besides headliners Cardi B, Chris Brown and Travis Scott, other big draws include Lil Uzi Vert, Rae Sremmurd, Offset and Central Cee. Asian representation isn’t too shabby either, with the likes of BIBI, Jessi, Jay Park, Joe Flizzow, F.HERO, VannDa and more.

What are the dates for Rolling Loud Thailand 2023?

Rolling Loud Thailand will be taking place during the Songkran festivities, between Thursday, April 13 and Saturday, April 15 at Legend Siam theme park in Pattaya.

Is Rolling Loud Thailand a wet festival for Songkran 2023?

Songkran is the Thai national holiday held to commemorate the Thai New Year. It’s also well known for its water festival, where locals splash or pour water on one another as a sign of good fortune and ritual cleansing.

Though most of Thailand will be drenching their fellow man in water between April 13 and 15, it’s still unclear if Rolling Loud Thailand will be a wet festival, at some points telling fans on Instagram that it will be wet and at others saying it won’t be.
