Show summary Hide summary
Lil Wayne is extending his celebration of the Tha Carter era with a fresh string of U.S. dates next summer and fall, marking two decades since the series began. The newly announced “Lil Wayne: 20 Years of Carter Classics” shows pick up where his 2025 run left off, offering fans a chance to hear songs from across the franchise live.
The tour adds dozens of stops promoted by Live Nation, beginning June 30 in Maine and closing Oct. 23 in Knoxville, Tennessee. Wayne — a five-time Grammy winner whose career includes the 2025 release of Carter VI — will bring special guests 2 Chainz and The Game on select nights.
For longtime listeners, the trek is a reminder of the Carter albums’ cultural reach; for casual concertgoers, it’s an opportunity to catch a major hip-hop catalog performed on arena and amphitheater stages. The routing hits a mix of large cities and regional markets, stretching from New England to the Deep South and the West Coast.
