Memphis Concert Postponed

The highly anticipated Lil Wayne concert at FedExForum in Memphis has been postponed, originally scheduled for May 15. The new date for the concert is set for September 28 at 8:00 p.m. The announcement came just one day before the show was slated to take place.

Details for Ticket Holders

Ticketmaster has confirmed the new date, and those who purchased tickets for the May 15 concert are advised to retain their tickets, which will be honored for the rescheduled performance. For fans still looking to attend, good seats remain available, with prices ranging from $77 to $311.

Special Guests Joining Lil Wayne

During the concert, Lil Wayne will be joined by the Hot Boys, featuring Juvenile, BG, and Turk.

The performance is part of their reunion tour, adding to the excitement surrounding the event.

Upcoming Album and Previous Cancellations

The postponement comes as Lil Wayne is gearing up for the release of his new album, “Tha Carter VI,” set to drop on June 6. This album is generating buzz due to rumored collaborations with high-profile artists such as Miley Cyrus, Bono, and Andrea Bocelli.

It is worth noting that this concert will mark Lil Wayne’s first performance in Memphis in over a decade. His previous attempt to perform in Memphis was cut short in 2022 when he had to cancel a scheduled appearance at the Beale Street Music Festival due to mechanical issues with his private jet.
