This September, Cardi B will bring her unstoppable momentum straight to downtown Los Angeles to headline the Create & Cultivate Festival, which will cap off a two-day celebration of women in business and culture.
The Bronx rapper has been on a tear throughout 2026, and this performance represents another major milestone in her biggest year yet on live touring.
The festival will be held from September 19th to 20th, and Cardi B will perform on stage at 7:30 pm Pacific Time on September 20th to present what the organizers have positioned as the highlight moment of the event.
Marina Middleton, CEO of Create & Cultivate, explained the vision behind adding Cardi to the line-up, saying: “Create & Cultivate has always been committed to providing ambitious women with access to people, conversations and opportunities to drive careers and businesses forward. This year’s festival brings together some of the biggest names shaping business and culture today.”
The choice makes sense given Cardi’s influence in music, fashion, beauty and business extends far beyond the confines of the booth.
Cardi’s Little Miss Theatrical Tour concluded in April with 35 sold-out shows, grossing $70 million and 453,000 tickets sold, and Cardi has maintained that headline-grabbing energy throughout the year.
She performed a medley at the BET Awards in June that set the internet ablaze, and she’s also set to hit the iHeartRadio Music Festival in Las Vegas on Sept. 18-19, just days before her Create & Cultivate performance.
The festival itself is packed with heavyweights, including SKIMS co-founder Emma Grede and podcast personality Alix Earle, who are guest speakers.
