Hip-hop icon Lil Wayne is making it clear—2025 is his year. With the announcement of his long-awaited Tha Carter VI album and an expansive North American tour, Weezy F. Baby is putting the culture on notice: the G.O.A.T. is back in full form, and he’s not coming quietly.
Kicking off June 6th with his first-ever headlining performance at the legendary Madison Square Garden—the same day Tha Carter VI officially drops—Wayne will give fans a taste of what’s to come before launching into a nationwide tour on July 30th. From Bristow, Virginia to West Palm Beach, Florida, the 34-city trek is set to blend nostalgia, new heat, and the electric presence only Lil Wayne can bring.
The Carter Legacy Continues
With nearly seven years passed since Tha Carter V, Tha Carter VI isn’t just a new chapter—it’s a generational moment. Lil Wayne has hinted at boundary-pushing features and sonic experimentation, telling Rolling Stone that he’s exploring unexpected collaborations and styles. “What would I sound like with such and such?” he mused—a cryptic tease that’s already igniting speculation online.
And while tracklist details remain under wraps, the tour’s promotional art suggests fans can expect a live retrospective of the entire Carter series. For longtime listeners, this means a rare opportunity to experience Weezy’s evolution onstage—from the gritty hunger of Tha Carter II to the platinum polish of Tha Carter III and beyond.
A Lineup Worth The Hype
Lil Wayne isn’t riding solo, either. He’s curating an entourage worthy of the moment, with special guests Tyga, NoCap, Belly Gang Kushington, and even the Hot Boys joining for select dates. Notably, a reunion of the full Hot Boys lineup is scheduled for a single show in Oklahoma City—an unmissable moment for Southern rap fans.
From small markets like Cuyahoga Falls, OH to mega-stops in L.A., Dallas, Phoenix, Seattle, and Atlanta, the tour spans a diverse mix of venues and cities. Whether you’re in a major metro or a hidden gem, Weezy is pulling up.
