Cardi B will headline BZR WKND Jamaica 2026 in Kingston on 18 October 2026, her first-ever stadium-headlining concert in the Caribbean, Billboard revealed on 14 August.

The set is billed "Cardi B & Friends" and serves as the marquee event of the four-day festival, which runs 16–19 October 2026 and celebrates music, culture, food, tourism, fashion and entertainment. BZR WKND's 2026 schedule opens with a welcome party on 16 October, followed by the Tidal Rave Beach Party: WYFL Edition on 17 October, Cardi B's headlining night on 18 October, and the BZR WKND Farewell Celebration on 19 October.

Early bird tickets go on sale Friday, 21 August, according to Billboard.

The festival is organised by Ryan Burke and Roy "Gramps" Morgan, the Grammy-winning reggae musician. BZR WKND has form in Kingston: its debut event in 2023 sold out the city's National Stadium, featuring a "Chris Brown & Friends" bill.

Cardi B arrives with proven touring weight behind her. Her Little Miss Drama Tour grossed more than $70 million and sold 453,000 tickets between 11 February and 18 April, per Billboard Boxscore. Her official tour website lists additional 2026 dates on 18–19 September with VIP packages that include premium seats, meet-and-greet access, a pre-show party and exclusive merchandise.

For fans, the Kingston booking puts one of rap's most bankable live acts onto a Caribbean stage she has never headlined — and the "& Friends" framing leaves room for surprise guests across the four days.
