Cardi B brought the heat to Las Vegas with a hit-packed performance at the 2026 iHeartRadio Music Festival.
The Grammy-winning rapper took over the T-Mobile Arena on Friday, September 18, during the opening night of the two-day festival, delivering a high-energy set filled with some of the biggest songs of her career.
Cardi commanded attention in a sparkling zebra-print bodysuit accented with dramatic red fringe, matching the bold look with an equally fiery performance.
During the nearly dozen-song set, she treated fans to chart favorites including “WAP,” “Bodak Yellow” and “Up,” while also performing her latest single, “AH HA.”
The Bronx rapper also revisited several of her popular collaborations, including “Finesse,” “I Like It” and “Taki Taki.” She kept the energy high with performances of “Hello,” “ErrTime,” “Bodega Baddie” and “Pretty & Petty,” showing off her signature choreography and stage presence throughout the night.
And Cardi may already have much bigger plans in the works.
Just one day before taking the iHeartRadio stage, she teased new music and revealed that discussions are underway for what she described as a “humongous tour” in 2027, following her recent Little Miss Drama Tour.
“I have been in talks with a couple of people that are helping me with what I got going on,” Cardi said during an X Spaces session. “I have so many ideas and so many things are being written.”
Cardi was among a packed lineup of stars taking part in the 2026 iHeartRadio Music Festival. The two-day event also features performances from Benson Boone, BTS, Ciara, Goo Goo Dolls, Kenny Chesney, Lainey Wilson, LE SSERAFIM, Major Lazer, Muse, Snoop Dogg, The Smashing Pumpkins, Weezer and Zara Larsson, along with a special performance by Stella Lefty.
The festival is being broadcast across iHeartMedia radio stations in more than 150 markets, while Disney+ and Hulu are serving as the event’s official streaming destinations, livestreaming performances for subscribers.
With a catalogue of hits, a headline-grabbing stage look and even bigger plans already being teased for 2027, Cardi B made sure her Las Vegas appearance was pure Bardi.
