Cardi B to bring ‘Cardi B & Friends’ to Jamaica for BZR WKND 2026
Grammy-winning American rapper Cardi B is set to headline BZR WKND Jamaica 2026 at the National Stadium in Kingston on October 18, marking her first-ever stadium-headlining concert in the Caribbean, as first reported by Billboard.
Dubbed “Cardi B & Friends,” the highly anticipated show will serve as the marquee event of BZR WKND’s four-day celebration, running October 16-19 and bringing together music, culture, food, tourism, fashion and entertainment. Early-bird tickets are set to go on sale Friday, August 21.
The Jamaica appearance follows Cardi B’s hugely successful Little Miss Drama Tour, which grossed more than $70 million and sold 453,000 tickets between February 11 and April 18, according to Billboard Boxscore. The tour marked her first major run of live shows in seven years and supported her 2025 album Am I the Drama?, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200.
BZR WKND made its debut at Kingston’s National Stadium in 2023 with “Chris Brown & Friends,” selling out the venue and quickly establishing the festival as one of the Caribbean’s major live music events. With her upcoming appearance, Cardi B joins Chris Brown and Burna Boy, who also graced the National Stadium with his historic Jamaica concert in 2022, among the major international stars to headline the venue in recent years.
For 2026, the festivities will begin with a welcome party on October 16, followed by the Tidal Rave Beach Party: WYFL Edition on October 17. Cardi B takes centre stage at the National Stadium on October 18, before the BZR WKND Farewell Celebration closes out the four-day experience on Monday, October 19
