According to Punch, Cardi B and Davido were among the headliners who thrilled fans at the 2025 Soundstorm festival in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
The report described Cardi B’s set as a ‘late-night block party’ moment, while Davido’s appearance underscored Afrobeats’ growing festival pull in the Middle East.
The lineup and schedules shared by organisers helped fans track the biggest sets across the multi-night event.
- MDLBEAST (official timetable page): “Davido 10:00 PM – 11:00 PM… Cardi B 12:45 AM – 01:45 AM”
- Yahoo Entertainment (article): “…Cardi B turned Soundstorm Festival 2025 into her own late-night block party…”
Analysis/Echotitbits take: Global festivals are increasingly booking Afrobeats as a must-have sound—not a ‘special guest’ slot. That shift can reshape touring routes, sponsorship value, and streaming discovery in new markets. Watch for follow-up announcements: additional Middle East dates, brand partnerships, and collaboration teases that often drop right after festival weekends.
