Lil Wayne Announces 'Welcome to Tha Carter Tour'
Lil Wayne is going back on road.
The hip-hop superstar has announced dates for his “Welcome to Tha Carter Tour.” Presented by Young Money, Rolling Loud, and Live Nation, the 28-city trek kicks off April 4 in Minneapolis before making its way to Chicago, Toronto, New York, Atlanta, and Houston, wrapping on May 13 in Los Angeles.
In October, Weezy headlined his sixth annual Lil Weezyana Fest in his hometown of New Orleans where he brought out Drake.
The tour comes nearly two decades after the release of Wayne’s seminal 2004 album Tha Carter. The rapper-turned-professional skateboarder is now readying Tha Carter VI, the sixth installment in his Grammy-winning series.
Before he hits the road, Wayne will be honored with the Global Impact Award at The Recording Academy’s Black Music Collective pre-GRAMMY event on Thursday.
Tickets go on sale Friday, Feb. 3 at 10 a.m. local time. See dates below.
