What was meant to be the third edition of Rolling Loud Thailand will no longer take place this November in Pattaya. Organizers confirmed the cancellation in an official statement, citing “circumstances out of our control” as the reason the festival cannot move forward this year.

The news ends months of uncertainty. Since July, fans had been left waiting for artist announcements or ticketing details, unlike previous editions where lineups were revealed well in advance. The silence raised doubts, and with today’s statement those concerns have been confirmed — Rolling Loud will not return to Pattaya in 2025.

Behind the scenes, sources close to the festival point to ongoing legal and financial issues with, the Thai partner company. The firm has been caught up in one of the country’s largest fraud cases, facing multiple charges and asset seizures. According to insiders, the fallout directly impacted Rolling Loud’s ability to move ahead in Thailand.

The cancellation comes as a disappointment to hip-hop fans across the region, especially as Rolling Loud has become one of the few major international festivals dedicated to the genre in Asia. Both 2023 and 2024 editions drew huge attention, positioning Pattaya as a hip-hop destination for regional travelers.

While the 2025 show is officially off, organizers say they are still committed to Asia and will look at options to bring the festival back in the future. Ticket holders for 2025 will be refunded, with details provided through official channels.

For now, fans will have to wait and see if Rolling Loud can overcome these challenges and return to Pattaya — or elsewhere in Asia — in 2026.
