Rap icon Lil Wayne bringing ‘Tha Carter VI’ tour to NC with special guests

Queen City, get ready for a taste of Young Money royalty.

Grammy award-winning artist Lil Wayne is coming back to the Carolinas to celebrate over 30 years of “Tha Carter series” classics on the upcoming ‘Tha Carter VI’ tour.

The rap icon is hitting the stage in more than 30 cities across North America, including Charlotte at PNC Music Pavilion on September 25 — the only tour stop in North Carolina and a bigger venue than where he played for the Welcome to Tha Carter Tour in 2023.

For the outdoor end-of-summer show, he’ll also be joined by Tyga and Belly Gang Kushington, who will be special guests across all dates.

How to get tickets for Lil Wayne concert

Presale tickets for ‘Tha Carter VI’ tour will be available to fans beginning Wednesday, June 4 at 10 a.m. before general on-sale Friday, June 6 at the same time at livenation.com.
