Cardi B will headline BZR WKND Jamaica 2026 in Kingston on Oct. 18, according to Billboard. The performance will be her first stadium-headlining concert in the Caribbean.
The set is being billed as “Cardi B & Friends” and will serve as the main event of the festival’s four-day celebration of music, culture, food, tourism, fashion and entertainment. Early bird tickets are scheduled to go on sale Friday, Aug. 21.
Organizers Ryan Burke and Grammy-winning reggae musician Roy “Gramps” Morgan said the rapper’s appearance marks an important moment for the festival and for live entertainment in Jamaica. They also said the event is returning after a successful inaugural edition.
BZR WKND first sold out at Kingston’s National Stadium in 2023 with “Chris Brown & Friends.” The 2024 festival featured Spice, Masicka and SQUASH, while the 2025 edition was canceled because of bad weather. For 2026, the event is set to begin with a welcome party on Oct. 16, followed by the Tidal Rave Beach Party: WYFL Edition on Oct. 17, Cardi B’s headlining show on Oct. 18 and a farewell celebration on Oct. 19.
