Cardi B to Replace the Weeknd at Global Citizen Festival 2025
"I regret to share that, due to personal reasons, I am unable to perform at Global Citizen. Thank you to my fans for taking action with them, as I believe in their mission deeply,"
"Thank you for your understanding and support."
"We are incredibly grateful to Cardi B, who has joined the Global Citizen Festival lineup. She's an outstanding performer, who will light up Central Park in spectacular fashion. We wish the Weeknd support and want to thank him and his fans for all taking action with us to help end extreme poverty."
"Central Park, I'm coming for you!!! I can't wait to be home in New York, and to bring my new songs and all the DRAMA to the Global Citizen Festival. This one's not like other music festivals-this one is about coming together to help children around the world, and I'm so proud to support such an important cause. New York City-see you Saturday. Let's get it!!!"
Cardi B will perform as a headliner at the 2025 Global Citizen Festival in Central Park on Saturday, September 27, taking the Weeknd's scheduled slot after his withdrawal for personal reasons. The Weeknd thanked fans for taking action with Global Citizen and asked for understanding and support. Global Citizen co-founder Hugh Evans welcomed Cardi B and thanked the Weeknd and his supporters for helping efforts to end extreme poverty. Hugh Jackman will host, and the lineup also includes Shakira, Tyla, Ayra Starr, Mariah the Scientist, Camilo, and Elyanna. The festival will stream live on YouTube and other platforms. Cardi B recently released the album Am I the Drama? and shared the Kehlani-featured video for "Safe."
