It's official. Cardi B is coming to Saudi Arabia for Soundstorm 2025
Soundstorm gets a major dose of Bardi energy
Get ready, Riyadh – Cardi B is on her way. The queen of rap is officially set to perform at Soundstorm 2025, marking her first-ever show in Saudi Arabia.
Expect nothing less than high-energy performances, bold fashion moments, and a whole lot of “okurrr”.
Cardi B continues to redefine what it means to be an artist in today’s culture. Her long-awaited second album, ‘Am I the Drama?’, released in September, marks a seven-year journey since her debut. As the first solo female rapper in 15 years to win a Grammy for Best Rap Album for ‘Invasion of Privacy’, her catalog is a testament to breaking barriers.
With several records across Billboard, Golden Globe recognitions, and RIAA certifications, she places herself among the most influential artists of her generation.
Joining the lineup this year are boundary-pushing artist Lil Yachty who continues to blur the lines between rap, rock, and alternative sounds, and Miguel, the Grammy-winning singer and songwriter known for his sultry vocals and genre-bending blend of R&B, soul, and funk.
Global superstar and entertainer Pitbull will bring his infectious energy, chart-topping anthems to Riyadh, and electronic trio Swedish House Mafia will wow the crowd with their cinematic performance.
South African amapiano queen Tyla will be bringing her modern afropop to the stage, and Young Thug joins this year’s hiphop selection as one of the genre’s most influential innovators. Also on this year’s line-up is pop icon Ava Max, South African DJ & producer Black Coffee, and American singer Halsey.
It seems Soundstorm isn’t done surprising us just yet. With more names set to be revealed soon, festival-goers can expect a line-up that continues to push creative boundaries and celebrate the diversity of global and regional sounds.
