The first India edition was held on November 22 and 23, 2025, at Loud Park in Navi Mumbai. Central Cee, Wiz Khalifa and Don Toliver performed alongside Aujla that year.

Rolling Loud co-founder and CEO Matt Zingler said fans in India were open to all kinds of music, and that this shaped how the lineup was put together.

Tickets are sold exclusively on District, and the festival is open to all ages.
