Global superstar Cardi B will make history as she headlines BZR WKND (pronounced “Bizarre Weekend”) Jamaica 2026 with her first-ever headlining stadium concert in the Caribbean. The landmark performance is scheduled for Sunday, October 18, 2026, in Kingston, Jamaica. Following a successful run of sold-out North American tour dates, the rapper will lead Cardi B & Friends, the marquee event of the festival’s four-day celebration of music, culture, and tourism.
BZR WKND has quickly established itself as a premier destination festival. Following a sold-out 2023 debut at Kingston’s National Stadium that featured Chris Brown & Friends, the event has become one of the region’s most anticipated experiences. Organizers Ryan Burke and Roy “Gramps” Morgan are scaling up for 2026, aiming to deliver an even more ambitious production.
The festival is set to run from October 16–19, 2026, featuring a diverse itinerary:
- October 16: BZR WKND Welcome Party
- October 17: TIDAL RAVE Beach Party: WYFL Edition
- October 18: Cardi B & Friends
- October 19: BZR WKND Farewell Celebration
Early bird tickets for the event are slated to go on sale Friday, August 21, 2026. With an expected attendance of over 50,000 people, the festival is projected to provide a significant boost to local tourism and international media exposure for Jamaica.
“Cardi B is one of the biggest artists in the world, and her first-ever headlining stadium concert in the Caribbean represents a defining moment not only for BZR WKND, but for Jamaica’s live entertainment industry,” said organizers Ryan Burke and Roy “Gramps” Morgan.
Beyond the music, the festival serves as a holistic celebration of Caribbean culture, incorporating fashion, culinary experiences, and VIP hospitality. Additional performers and travel package details are expected to be unveiled in the coming weeks.
