From The Bronx to Banban, Cardi B is coming to the Saudi capital.
Concert season in the Middle East is seriously heating up — and MDLBeast Soundstorm 2025 is turning up the volume too. With an already star-studded lineup, the festival just dropped another huge announcement: Cardi B is officially joining the party.
The rap queen herself, Cardi B is heading to Saudi Arabia this December for MDLBeast Soundstorm 2025, taking place from 11 to 13 December at Banban, Riyadh. The massive three-day festival has a reputation for delivering high-energy performances, and with Cardi B on stage, things are about to get even louder.
For those unversed, Cardi B — born as Belcalis Marlenis Almanzar in New York — went from reality TV personality to one of the most influential rappers in the world. Her 2018 debut album Invasion of Privacy made history, earning her a Grammy Award for Best Rap Album. It also made her the first solo female rapper to take home that title in 15 years. Since then, she’s dominated the charts with hits like “Bodak Yellow,” “I Like It,” “WAP,” and “Up.” This year, she returned in full force with her long-awaited sophomore album, Am I the Drama?, marking seven years since her groundbreaking debut.
With her charged rap bars, Cardi B has garnered a huge fan following across the world, and Riyadh is no exception. She’ll be bringing her mix of fiery performance and chart-topping bangers to the MDLBeast Soundstorm 2025 stage.

Cardi B joins a great lineup of performances as part of MDLBeast Soundstorm this year. The stage will also see performances by the likes of Post Malone, Pitbull, Idris Elba, Armin van Buuren, Young Thug, and many more.
