Marrakech – US rap superstar Cardi B is officially joining the star-studded lineup for Soundstorm 2025, the electrifying music festival returning to Riyadh this December. The news has already set social media ablaze, as fans prepare for one of the most anticipated music events in the Middle East.
Organized by MDLBEAST, Soundstorm has grown into one of the world’s biggest and boldest music festivals, drawing global superstars and hundreds of thousands of music lovers each year.
For 2025, the festival promises to raise the bar even higher, and Cardi B’s inclusion confirms it.
The Grammy-winning artist will take the stage alongside an impressive lineup that includes Lil Yachty, Miguel, Pitbull, Swedish House Mafia, Tyla, Young Thug, Ava Max, Black Coffee, and Halsey.
Organizers have hinted that more high-profile acts will be revealed in the coming weeks, building further excitement for the December event.
This announcement follows the release of Cardi B’s long-awaited sophomore album, “Am I the Drama?,” which dropped last month after years of speculation and teasing.
The 23-track project marks a new era for the Bronx-born rapper, showcasing a more refined sound and a bold mix of hip-hop, R&B, and pop influences.
The album features an all-star lineup of collaborators, including Janet Jackson, Lizzo, Selena Gomez, Megan Thee Stallion, Cash Cobain, Kehlani, Summer Walker, and Tyla, the latter also joining her at Soundstorm 2025, potentially hinting at a live performance of their hit collaboration.
Beyond the music, Soundstorm has become a cultural phenomenon that reflects Saudi Arabia’s evolving entertainment landscape.
Since its debut, the festival has symbolized a new chapter in the country’s creative scene, blending international acts with regional talent and promoting artistic freedom through music, art, and fashion.
