It’s already been something of a turbulent year for Lil Wayne. The Young Money boss was reported to have been on the verge of death after suffering a seizure on the set of a Nicki Minaj video. But immediately after being released from a six-day stint at the Cedars-Sinai hospital, the 30-year-old proved that rumours of his demise were greatly exaggerated by announcing that Lil Wayne tickets for another America’s Most Wanted tour were to go on sale.
Supported by T.I., French Montana and 2 Chainz, the two-month tour will begin at Birmingham’s Oak Mountain Amphitheatre on July 9 and conclude at Irvine’s Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre on September 1 with a get-in price of $66 and an average price of $261 on TicketIQ for the latter, taking in the likes of Virginia Beach’s Farm Bureau Live on July 28 ($48/$203), Cuyahoga Falls’ Blossom Music Center on August 7 ($53/$236) and Oklahoma City’s Chesapeake Energy Arena on August 21 ($93/$276) along the way.
Availability is limited for the gigs at Maryland Heights’ Verizon Wireless Amphitheater on August 11 ($49/$76) and Noblesville’s Klipsch Music Center on August 13 ($138/$138). But with an overall average price of $203, there are hundreds of Lil Wayne tickets waiting to be snapped up for most other dates with the July 13 gig at Tampa’s Live Nation Amphitheatre at the Florida State Fairgrounds the lowest get-in price at $41 and the July 31 concert at Hartford’s Comcast Theatre the cheapest average price at $64 (get-in price $42).
The controversial MC, who was recently dropped by Pepsi as the face of Mountain Dew following an offensive reference to civil rights Emmett Till in Future’s “Karate Chop,” will then visit the likes of Dublin’s The 02, Stockholm’s Ericsson Globe and Amsterdam’s Ziggo Dome alongside Mac Miller after originally postponing his European tour to focus on the release of I Am Not A Human Being II.
His tenth studio album, which sold over 200,000 copies in its first week to debut at No.2 on the Billboard charts earlier this year, will no doubt feature heavily on the tour’s set-list with US Top 40 hits “My Homies Still,” “No Worries” and “Love Me” all likely staples.
But having recently surpassed Elvis Presley as the male artist with the most entries on the US Hot 100, the rapper isn’t exactly short of options elsewhere. Indeed, his last major tour, 2011’s I Am Music II, regularly featured a mammoth 35 tracks, covering everything from his four Tha Carter volumes to his rock music debut Rebirth including his breakthrough hit, “Go DJ” and an acoustic take on his only solo chart-topper, “Lollipop.”
While fans with Lil Wayne tickets should also expect to hear several solo versions of his many collaborations too, with the likes of Drake’s “Miss Me,” Gucci Mane’s “Wasted,” Birdman’s “Money To Blow” and Chris Brown’s “Look At Me Now” all given an outing last time around.
