Are you sweaty, ready for vacation mode, and looking for a reason to travel? Songkran is fast approaching and it’s more than a worthy occasion to switch to OOO. Especially because this year is the first edition of VOLO Festival, Southeast Asia’s newest, biggest, hip hop music fest, and it’s just a short flight away in Thailand.

It’s all happening under the summer sun (and continuing under the moonlight) at Vana Nava Water Jungle, Hua Hin from 4pm-midnight on Apr. 13 and Apr. 14. It’s gonna be lit, let us tell you why.

A$AP Rocky and Ja Rule are the headlining acts

A$AP Rocky is one of the most compelling voices in hip hop today and he will be performing an exclusive set at Volo Festival. The frontman of A$AP Mob from Harlem, New York is the voice behind hits like F**kin’ Problems, L$D, and Praise The Lord. He’s collaborated with some of the biggest names in music — Kendrick Lamar, Drake, Skrillex, and Rihanna to name a few — and his beats just keep developing.  We love the nods to Wu-Tang Clan, Bone Thugs-n-Harmony, and how he naturally slips into EDM with Skrillex and Birdy Nam Nam for Wild For The Night.


Do we even need to introduce Ja Rule? If you’re an elder millennial like us you still know the lyrics of Always On Time ft. Ashanti by heart. His other songs like Between Me & You ft. Christina Milian and Livin’ It Up ft. Case are hip hop classics. Ok, so the guy has seen his share of scandals recently, but he’s a hip hop artist, come on. We can’t wait to throw our hands up and dance to his number 1 hits.


Supporting these hip hop masters is a great lineup of regional artists including Daboyway, Pok Mindset & DOUBLE P, YOUNGOHM, FIIXD, YOUNGGU, DIAMOND, YOUNG BONG, and Gavin Duval.

It’s all going down at Vana Nava Hua Hin

Douse yourself in sunscreen (or tanning oil) and soak in the summer sun and and vitamin sea at Vana Nava Water Jungle in Hua Hin. Before the hip hop party starts each night, there’s two days of wet and wild rides, music, fashion, art, and food, all in an epic mash up of urban culture.

The Fashion Zone will showcase curated local streetwear and the Food Zone brings together a foodie-approved roster of finger-lickin’ food trucks to keep those munchies at bay.

Let your inner Jack Sparrow go wild

Hip hop AND pirates? We’re sold. Expect a venue that’s transformed into an exciting seaside adventure with a full-on pirate theme. Get into the spirit and dress up!

Getting to Hua Hin

You can always drive or take a minivan from Bangkok. But how about a luxury train to Volo Festival? It goes straight to the venue: Holiday Inn/Vana Nava station. It’s THB1,000 per person for a round trip but it comes free with Volo’s VIP Cabana Pack. Depart Bangkok at 11am on April 13. Leave Hua Hin at 2pm on April 15. It’s limited to 200 tickets only though, so move fast. Check out more about the train (with pics!) here.

Volo Festival promises to be a sick summer experience. So if chilling out in a waterpark during the day with bad b**ches in bikinis then partying to A$AP Rocky and Ja Rule by night sounds like your jam, we’ll see you there!
