Cardi B officially announced her new album, Am I the Drama?, set for release on September 19, 2025. This marks her return with 23 tracks after a seven-year break since Invasion of Privacy (2018), including hits like "Up," "WAP," and the recent single "Outside."
This announcement has reignited heated speculation about Cardi B joining Coachella’s 2025 or 2026 lineup as a sub-headliner or substitute act. Fans remember her iconic 2018 Coachella set—delivered at six months pregnant—as one of high energy and resilience, making her a favorite candidate to fill strong rap and hip-hop slots alongside headliners like Kendrick Lamar or SZA.
Key fan discussion points:
- Tour logistics and how upcoming promotional dates could impact her availability.
- Mixed critical reception versus strong fan enthusiasm for her music and stage presence.
- Comparisons to previous artist substitutions at major festivals, notably Megan Thee Stallion’s role.
- Hopes for surprise guest spots alongside rising rap stars such as Glorilla.
While Cardi B already delivered a wild set at REVOLVE Festival in April 2025, her actual Coachella appearance remains unconfirmed and will likely hinge on scheduling. Still, the buzz from this album drop puts her squarely in the conversation as a strong contender for future major festival bookings.
Stay tuned as we track Cardi B’s tour announcements and any official Coachella updates.
