Cardi B to Headline First-Ever Caribbean Stadium Show at BZR WKND Jamaica 2026

A decade after proudly highlighting her West Indian roots, Grammy-winning superstar Cardi B is geared up to deliver an electrifying showcase in Jamaica.

The rap powerhouse will officially top the bill at BZR WKND Jamaica 2026 in Kingston on Sunday, October 18. This historic performance marks her first-ever stadium-headlining appearance in the Caribbean. Billed as “Cardi B & Friends,” the show stands as the centerpiece of a vibrant four-day festival celebrating live music, fashion, Caribbean cuisine, tourism, and broader island culture from October 16 to 19. Early-access tickets launch on Friday, August 21.

This milestone concert arrives on the heels of her critically and commercially triumphant Little Miss Drama Tour, which achieved over $70 million across North America. The tour supported her chart-topping sophomore project, Am I the Drama?, which launched at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and delivered a string of Top 40 singles, including “Outside,” the Kehlani-assisted “Ring,” and “Magnet.”

Her catalog momentum also includes monumental chart milestones like “Up” and the Megan Thee Stallion collaboration “WAP,” which attained Diamond status from the RIAA after exceeding 10 million units in sales.

“Building on the momentum of our premiere edition, we were determined to elevate BZR WKND even further,” stated event co-founders Ryan Burke and Grammy-winning artist Roy “Gramps” Morgan. “Cardi B commands an unmatched global presence, and bringing her Caribbean stadium debut to life represents a monumental stride for regional entertainment. We look forward to hosting music enthusiasts worldwide for an unmatched weekend.”
