Cardi B to Perform Post-Baby at Upcoming Arkansas' MusicFest with Toby Keith, Gucci Mane and More

The rapper and new mom joins a list of chart-topping performers for El Dorado's second genre-blending music weekend

Baby Kulture’s first concert?

New mom Cardi B is set to headline this year’s genre-blending MusicFest in El Dorado, Arkansas, alongside fellow chart-topping artists Sammy Hagar & The Circle, Gucci Mane and Toby Keith on Oct. 18 through 20.

The Grammy-winning rapper, who toured throughout her pregnancy, welcomed daughter Kulture Kiari Cephus on Tuesday, July 10, with husband Offset of Migos. The hip hop collective was one of last year’s headliners at the inaugural festival, hosted in the Murphy Arts District in El Dorado — a former oil-boom town in Southern Arkansas that’s reemerged as a center for arts, entertainment and culture thanks to a $100 million restructuring.

“Even though we’ve only been open for eight months, it is astounding to see the direct and indirect impact [Murphy Arts District] has had on this entire region,” said district president Austin Barrow in a statement. “Audiences are responding incredibly well to our diversity of programming — from country, hip hop, Christian and rock concerts to Shakespeare festivals, children’s touring shows, and even the Shanghai acrobats.”
