Cardi B Joins Star-Studded Soundstorm 2025 Lineup in Riyadh

Global superstar and Grammy-winning rapper Cardi B is officially set to make her debut in Saudi Arabia this December as part of the highly anticipated Soundstorm 2025 lineup. The announcement marks a major milestone for the artist and the festival alike, as Cardi B prepares to take the stage in Riyadh’s Banban district from December 11 to 13, 2025. Known for her bold style and chart-topping hits, her upcoming performance is expected to be one of the most talked-about moments of the event.

Cardi B’s appearance comes just months after the release of her long-awaited sophomore album, Am I the Drama?, her first full-length studio project in seven years. The album follows her debut, Invasion of Privacy, which made history as the first solo female rap album in 15 years to win a Grammy for Best Rap Album. Her presence at Soundstorm 2025 not only underscores the growing international prestige of the festival but also signals a bold shift in Saudi Arabia’s rapidly evolving entertainment landscape under Vision 2030.

Joining Cardi B is a powerful and diverse global lineup that includes Post Malone, Swedish House Mafia, Miguel, Pitbull, Lil Yachty, Young Thug, Halsey, Tyla, Ava Max, Black Coffee, Kaytranada, Loyle Carner, and Benson Boone. Organizers have confirmed that even more names will be revealed in the lead-up to the event, further building excitement around what’s become one of the most anticipated music festivals in the region.

Produced by MDLBEAST, Soundstorm has become a flagship event of Riyadh Season, the Kingdom’s annual entertainment program designed to boost tourism and creative expression as part of Saudi Arabia’s broader transformation. Since its debut in 2019, Soundstorm has welcomed global heavyweights like David Guetta, Tiësto, Travis Scott, and Metallica, drawing massive international crowds and putting Riyadh on the global music map.

Soundstorm 2025 promises to raise the bar once again with cutting-edge visuals, immersive stage designs, and a genre-spanning lineup that connects global icons with local talent. As organizers gear up to transform Riyadh into the “City of Sound,” fans from across the world are expected to converge in the Saudi capital for an unforgettable three-day celebration of music, culture, and creativity.
