Keyshia Cole is joining Cardi B for one of Jamaica’s biggest upcoming music events, adding another major name to the lineup for BZR WKND Jamaica 2026.
The Grammy-nominated R&B singer is set to join Cardi B & Friends at Kingston’s National Stadium on Sunday, October 18, 2026.
The event will also feature dancehall star Spice as host, while Jamaican artist Malie Donn is set to represent a new generation of dancehall talent.
The lineup expansion comes as anticipation builds around Cardi B’s appearance. Organizers say the event will mark the rapper’s first-ever headlining stadium concert.
Cardi’s Jamaica performance also follows her sold-out North American tour, while demand for the festival has already been reflected in ticket sales, with the first two early-bird tiers selling out.
“Following the response to our initial announcement, we’re excited to continue building out an experience that brings together global stars and some of the biggest names in Caribbean music and culture,” organizers Ryan Burke and Roy “Gramps” Morgan said in a statement.
They said the addition of Keyshia Cole, Spice’s role as host and Malie Donn’s inclusion would further expand the event’s mix of international and Caribbean talent.
BZR WKND previously brought its large-scale concert format to Kingston’s National Stadium in 2023, when Chris Brown & Friends headlined an event that attracted fans from Jamaica, the wider Caribbean, the United States, Canada and Europe.
The festival is now returning with an expanded four-day experience built around music, culture, fashion and entertainment.
Organizers expect more than 50,000 attendees throughout BZR WKND Jamaica 2026, with international visitors expected to travel to Kingston for the event.
More artists, festival experiences and additional programming are expected to be announced in the coming weeks.
With Keyshia Cole now joining Cardi B, Spice and Malie Donn, BZR WKND Jamaica 2026 is continuing to build a lineup that blends major U.S. stars with established and emerging Caribbean talent.
