Cardi B delivers in first Australian performance at Origin Fields

IT was the two acts Perth festival-goers waited all night to see and Khalid and Cardi B, didn’t disappoint on the first night of Origin Fields at Langley Park last night.

Khalid the second last act of the night took to the stage for just over an hour – singing hit after the hit including Love Lies, Better, Young Dumb and Broke, Ocean, Silence and OTW to the adoring crowd.

The R’n’B singer was a soulful entrée to the provocative Cardi B who would take to the main stage at 10pm for her intended one-hour stint.

And while her first Australian performance fell well short of her 60-minute set, fans didn’t seem to notice or mind as Cardi set the stage alight in a sparkly red, lace bodysuit, red and black wig, alongside her back-up dancers who were also wearing next-to-nothing neon.
