Cardi B Reveals First Arena Tour in Six Years: 30-City Little Miss Drama Tour Kicks Off in February
On September 16, Grammy-winning rapper Cardi B revealed her first arena tour in six years, titled the “Little Miss Drama Tour.” The 30-city trek launches Feb. 11, 2026, in Palm Desert, California, and culminates on April 17 in Atlanta. The announcement coincided with news that her second studio album, Am I the Drama?, drops Friday.
That announcement coincided with news of her highly anticipated second studio album, Am I the Drama?, set to arrive this Friday. It represents her first full-length effort since her debut earned critical praise and a Grammy. Fans have voiced high expectations, eager to see how new tracks will shape her live performances.
Live Nation, the tour’s promoter, calls “Little Miss Drama” her first headline arena series, a milestone for the Bronx-born star. The schedule spans both the U.S. and Canada, with dates at Madison Square Garden in New York, the United Center in Chicago and the Chase Center in San Francisco, among other key markets.
In 2019, her debut album Invasion of Privacy won the Grammy for Best Rap Album, making her the second woman in that category after Lauryn Hill and the Fugees in 1997. The award sparked debate in hip-hop circles, with some questioning whether her work outshone other contenders. Cardi B defended the win, noting the effort poured into every track.
A standout on the schedule arrives March 25 at Madison Square Garden in New York. The list also adds concerts in Toronto and Vancouver, plus dates in Portland, Sacramento, Austin, Minneapolis and Indianapolis. Additional stops cover Detroit, Kansas City, Cincinnati, Hartford, Baltimore, Raleigh, Charlotte and Sunrise, Florida, across North America.
Ticket presales start at 10 A.M. local time on Tuesday, Sept. 23, via Ticketmaster for those who register by Sunday at 10 P.M. PT. Public sale opens at 10 A.M. on Thursday, Sept. 25, through Cardi B’s website. Details on platinum and VIP packages, including pricing, will be available through official channels.
Since Invasion of Privacy became the most-streamed female rap album on Apple Music and Spotify, Cardi B has focused on standalone singles and features rather than large-scale tours. She has turned down lucrative offers to maintain artistic control. Recent interviews indicate she evaluates projects for creative value first and often passes on those that don’t match her vision.
In interviews, she says listening to Invasion of Privacy still brings tears, a reflection of the dedication behind each track. That emotional connection drives her selectivity with collaborations and solo releases. The Little Miss Drama Tour will span major hubs and smaller markets, taking her live show to fans across North America.
