Travis Scott, Cardi B will be at Rolling Loud Thailand

The three-day festival's first edition will feature a star-studded line-up, with more than a few celebrities from both the western and Asian hip pop scenes set to appear at the show. The full line-up was announced through a post on the festival's Instagram page.

Aside from musical attractions, the festival will also feature the usual mix of food and beverages, merchandise stores, art installations, and other ameneties, depending upon the ticket level purchased.

Rolling Loud began in 2015

Rolling Loud began as a joint project between high school friends Matt Zingler and Tariq Cherif in 2015, who got the idea for the festival after their school rap music parties turned out to be a success.

The pair would then go on to host monthly events featuring then up-and-coming artists such as Travis Scott and Kendrick Lamar, alongside other artists from Florida's SoundCloud rap scene, aka the Mumblerap scene.

The festival would go on to spread from its initial venue in Miami, Florida, to other venues, including the Bay area (Mountain View), San Bernandino, Southern California, Olympic Park in Sydney, Australia, New York City, Bucharest, Romania, Portimao, Portugal, Toronto, Canada, as well as the upcoming venues in Pataya, Thailand, and Munich in Germany.

The festival has had a number of controversies throughout its brief history, including assaults on artists Lil B in 2013 and Kid Cudi in 2022, as well as the death of Kevin Sanchez in 2019 from serious head injuries suffered in an incident at the festival.

Other incidents include multiple arrests and allegations of substance abuse, notably the arrest of rapper Fetty Wap in 2021.
