Lil Wayne Plots ‘Welcome to Tha Carter’ 2023 Tour Dates

Lil Wayne will hit the road this spring with a 28-city North American tour dubbed the “Welcome to Tha Carter Tour.”

The trek will launch April 4 at the Fillmore in Minneapolis, Minnesota and Wayne will criss-cross the U.S. and Canada over the next month-and-a-half. The run will finally wrap May 13 at the Wiltern in Los Angeles.

The Welcome to Tha Carter Tour announcement comes as Lil Wayne prepares to receive a special honor from the Recording Academy’s annual Black Music collective event, taking place Feb. 2, three days before the 2023 Grammys. Wayne — a four-time Grammy winner — will receive the Global Impact Award, along with two of his celebrated peers, Missy Elliott and Dr. Dre. 

Lil Wayne could add a couple more Grammys to his collection as well this year, thanks to his verse on DJ Khaled’s “God Did.” The song was nominated for three awards, including Song of the Year, Best Rap Performance, and Best Rap Song.
