The world class American rapper joins Lil Yachty, Miguel, Pitbull, Swedish House Mafia, Tyla, Young Thug, and many more
Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, October 16, 2025 – Just after announcing the first names for Soundstorm’s sixth edition, which include Benson Boone, Kaytranada, Loyle Carner, and Post Malone, Soundstorm is back with an announcement that will delight their fans. None other than Cardi B will be making her way to Saudi Arabia this December to join the three day celebration.
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 lineup is pop icon Ava Max, South African DJ & producer Black Coffee, and American singer Halsey.
Soundstorm isn’t done surprising its visitors just yet. With more names set to be revealed soon, audiences can expect a lineup that continues to push creative boundaries and celebrate the diversity of global and regional sounds.
