Grammy-winning rapper Cardi B will present her first-ever concert in Saudi Arabia this December as part of MDLBEAST’s mega-festival Soundstorm 2025 lineup.
Running from December 11th to 13th annually in Riyadh’s historic Banban site, this year’s edition features an A-list lineup that includes Halsey, Post Malone, Swedish House Mafia, Lil Yachty, Tyla, Pitbull, Miguel, Kaytranada, Benson Boone, Loyle Carner, Young Thug, Ava Max, Metro Boomin b2b DJ Snake, Marco Carola, and Nicole Moudaber, just to name a few.
Known for her unapologetic style and chart-topping hits, Cardi B has redefined what it means to be an artist in today’s culture. Her recently released sophomore album, "Am I the Drama?", marks her first studio project in seven years following her album debut "Invasion of Privacy," which made history as the first solo female rap album in 15 years to win a Grammy for that category.
The organizers said the rapper's upcoming performance at Soundstorm underscores the festival’s growing international prominence and its mission to bring global stars to Saudi stages.
Since its launch in 2019, Soundstorm – produced by Saudi entertainment company MDLBEAST – has become one of the world’s leading multi-genre music festivals.
It comes as a part of Riyadh Season, an annual program under Vision 2030 that aims to position Saudi Arabia as a global destination for tourism, entertainment, and creativity. Previous editions have drawn hundreds of thousands of attendees and featured international acts such as David Guetta, Travis Scott, Tiësto, and Metallica.
The 2025 edition is expected to transform Riyadh into what organizers describe as “the City of Sound,” featuring immersive stages, cutting-edge visuals, and performances that bridge global talent with local creativity.
Tickets are available now through MDLBEAST’s official website.
