Lil Wayne: 20 Years Of Carter Classics

About this event

Due to incredible demand, five-time GRAMMY award–winning rap icon Lil Wayne extends his North American tour celebrating more than 20 years of his groundbreaking Carter album series into 2026 with a stop in Lexington at Rupp Arena on December 4.

The 2026 extension follows a massively successful 2025 run and continues the celebration of Wayne’s iconic Tha Carter legacy, an album series that redefined hip-hop and cemented his place as one of the most influential rappers of all time. Spanning more than two decades, Tha Carter albums have delivered era-defining hits, multi- platinum milestones, and record-breaking chart achievements.

More than 20 years after launching Tha Carter, Lil Wayne remains a dominant cultural force from shaping the careers of generational superstars through Young Money Entertainment to influencing an entire wave of artists with his distinctive style, voice, and work ethic. The 2026 dates further underscore the lasting impact of a catalog that continues to resonate across generations of fans.
