Rolling Loud never does half-baked things. When they set out to create the largest hip-hop festival in the world, they did it more grandly than anyone could have ever imagined. Likewise, the festival’s highly anticipated return to Thailand is the biggest ever.

Last November, the beach town of Pattaya once again hosted the largest hip-hop festival the region has ever seen. The second edition of Rolling Loud Thailand not only attracted thousands of music fans from around the world, but was also a showcase of rap music’s hottest artists over three days – from headliners like Asap Rocky and Lil Wayne to big names like Tyga, Denzel Curry, Wacka Flocka Flame, Ski Mask The Slump God, Akon, Wiz Khalifa, Jay Park and CL.

With three days of impeccable music and fun, it’s hard to leave behind an unforgettable weekend at Rolling Loud Thailand 2024. As we’re still trying to recover from everything from artists literally setting the stage on fire to an endless barrage of hits, we’re looking back at five of the best performances from the entire weekend.

CL

CL has never been the type to mess around, and when she stepped onto the main stage at Rolling Loud Thailand, you immediately knew you were about to witness a performance you would never forget. The rapper and K-pop star opened her highly anticipated performance with the familiar, uplifting beats of “SPICY,” sending everyone into a frenzy and causing the crowd to jump and scream in excitement. With electrifying tracks like “Chuck,” “Doctor Pepper,” and “Hello B*tches,” as well as 2NE1’s “MTBD,” she further elevated the crowd’s energy to new levels.

With CL currently touring Asia with 2NE1, there’s no denying that her voice wasn’t at its best that night, as she often only sang certain lines or pointed the microphone at the crowd to sing for them. Regardless, the K-pop star – who battled through Pattaya’s intense heat to hit every beat of his fiery choreography while still charming the audience – delivered a performance worth raving about.

Wiz Khalifa

As soon as Wiz Khalifa steps on stage, a certain energy comes over him. It’s calm yet spirited, relaxed yet truly exciting. His set was a mix of party anthems like his hits “We Dem Boyz” and “Black and Yellow” and feel-good tracks like “See You Again” and “Young, Wild, and Free.”

Although Wiz Khalifa wasn’t the biggest performer of the night, he drew a massive crowd and everyone took in one of the weekend’s standout performances to the fullest. It was clear to see how much love Wiz Khalifa had for the music and his craft – a sentiment with which he ended his hour-long performance – and it was fully reflected in every moment he was on stage . It was hard not to leave his set with good vibes and renewed excitement for what was to come.

Tyga

There was something about the way Tyga owned the stage and won over the crowd. If you knew to be careful, otherwise you would miss something incredible.

His fast-paced and energetic set felt like a Rolodex of well-known hits, with everyone buzzing with each new song. Just when you thought the energy would calm down, it bounced back as Tyga laid down tracks like “Taste,” “Ay Macarena,” “Rack City,” and more.

DJ Snake

If there was anyone who had people shaking during Rolling Loud Thailand, it was none other than DJ Snake. Armed with a plethora of hits, one surprise guest after another, and a fire brimming with pyrotechnics, the renowned DJ and producer – despite it being his first-ever Rolling Loud performance – threw in the towel The Party all weekend.

Big-sounding and energetic DJ Snake never let the crowd settle down as he produced an endless stream of party anthems and brought along guests like Tyga and NLE Choppa. If the multiple mosh pits in the crowd or the sea of ​​people dancing were any indication, there was never a dull moment during DJ Snake’s set.

Lil Wayne

To say that Lil Wayne was the best performance of the entire weekend wouldn’t even begin to describe the performance he delivered. From performing nostalgic hits spanning several decades to his generous display of charisma and gratitude, Lil Wayne delivered a set you’ll want to experience again and again.

There are few rappers who can match the acclaimed artist’s caliber, and his hour-long performance proved that. Without taking a break to release hits like “Uproar,” “6 Foot 7 Foot,” “A Milli,” and more, it was a wonder to see one of the best rappers alive at work.
