Cardi B will not be performing at BZR WKND Jamaica on October 18, 2026. Her representatives confirmed the cancellation to Billboard on Thursday, October 8, saying the decision came without further explanation. In a statement, her team added that Cardi appreciates the love and support from her fans in Jamaica and hopes to see them in the future.
The four-day festival was set to take over Kingston’s National Stadium, with Spice recently announced as host and Keyshia Cole, Malie Donn, and Ding Dong among the performers. Organizers have not yet responded to Billboard’s request for comment, leaving ticket holders without answers on refunds or whether the lineup will shift again. The news lands just after Cardi wrapped her $70 million Little Miss Drama Tour, making the timing of the pullout especially puzzling.
For fans who bought tickets specifically to see Cardi, this one stings. BZR WKND is still one of Jamaica’s biggest music events, and the rest of the bill is stacked, but the headliner was the headline for a reason. Keep an eye on the festival’s official channels for updates on ticketing and the final lineup.
