Cardi B is replacing The Weeknd as the headliner for the 2025 Global Citizen Festival taking place on Saturday, Sept. 27, on the Great Lawn in New York’s Central Park.
“I regret to share that, due to personal reasons, I am unable to perform at Global Citizen,” The Weeknd shared on his Instagram Story Monday (Sept. 22). “Thank you to my fans for taking action with them, as I believe in their mission deeply. Thank you for understanding and support.”
He was originally slated to headline the festival alongside Shakira, with Tyla, Ayra Starr, Mariah the Scientist, Camilo and Elyanna also performing.
“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,” Cardi B said in a statement. “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!!!”
“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,” said Hugh Evans, CEO/cofounder of Global Citizen, in a statement. “We wish The Weeknd support and want to thank him and his fans for all taking action with us to help end extreme poverty.”
