**Lil Wayne Celebrates 20 Years of 'Tha Carter' with Extended North American Tour** The legendary rapper Lil Wayne has announced an extension of his 20th-anniversary tour for his iconic "Tha Carter" album series. The new tour will take him to over 25 North American cities later this year, with a lineup that promises to be just as exciting as the album series itself. Joining Lil Wayne on the tour is rapper 2 Chainz, who will be a special guest on most dates. The Game will also be making a few appearances, bringing his own unique energy to select shows. The tour is a celebration of the "Tha Carter" album series, which has been a staple of hip-hop in Nigeria and around the world since its release in 2004. The series has seen the release of six albums, with the latest installment, "Tha Carter VI," coming out last year. Fans of Lil Wayne can get their hands on tickets starting with a Citi presale on Wednesday, March 18. Citi cardmembers will have early access to tickets until Thursday, March 19. Artist presales will follow on Thursday, March 18, at 12 pm local time, ahead of the general on-sale date on Friday, March 20. The tour dates are expected to be a thrilling experience for fans, with stops in cities across the United States and Canada. Some of the notable dates include performances in Maine, New York, Illinois, Iowa, and California. For fans in Nigeria, it's worth noting that while there are no announced dates in Africa, the tour's global reach and popularity are a testament to the enduring appeal of hip-hop culture. **Get Ready to Rock: Lil Wayne 2026 Tour Dates** Here are the announced tour dates: * June 30 - Bangor, ME - Maine Savings Amphitheater * July 2 - Saratoga Springs, NY - Albany Med Health System at SPAC * July 3 - Gilford, NH - BankNH Pavilion * July 16 - Des Moines, IA - Casey's Center * July 17 - Chicago, IL - Huntington Bank Pavilion at Northerly Island * July 18 - Shakopee, MN - Mystic Lake Amphitheater * July 23 - Columbus, OH - Nationwide Arena * July 24 - Clarkston, MI - Pine Knob Music Theatre * July 25 - Grand Rapids, MI - Acrisure Amphitheater * July 30 - St. Louis, MO - Hollywood Casino Amphitheater * July 31 - Concord, CA - Toyota Pavilion at Concord * August 1 - Long Beach, CA - Long Beach Amphitheater * August 14 - Biloxi, MS - Mississippi Coast Coliseum * August 15 - Brandon, MS - Brandon Amphitheater * August 16 - Rogers, AR - Walmart AMP *
