New Orleans is getting ready for one of its biggest nights in music as Lil Wayne’s signature event, Lil’ WeezyAna Fest, returns on November 1. Now celebrating its 10th anniversary, this year’s festival will be held at the Smoothie King Center and promises a star-studded, high-energy celebration curated by the Young Money general himself.

Tickets go on presale September 24th at 8AM PT/10AM CT, with general sales opening September 26th.

“Lil’ WeezyAna Fest has always been a way for me to give back to the city that made me,” Wayne said. “We’re turning up for year 10.”

Since its launch in 2015, the festival has grown into a cultural homecoming for Wayne and the city of New Orleans. It’s become a staple for hip-hop lovers, drawing fans from across the country and bringing together some of the genre’s most iconic artists.

Previous lineups have included Megan Thee Stallion, NBA YoungBoy, Meek Mill, Saweetie, Jeezy, Big Freedia, Gucci Mane, 2 Chainz, and many more. Surprise guests have ranged from Drake to Nicki Minaj and Birdman. Last year’s festival reunited the Hot Boys, Lil Wayne, Juvenile, B.G., and Turk, in a moment that sparked a multi-city reunion tour.

This year’s edition will continue that legacy with another handpicked lineup of talent, reinforcing the festival’s place in hip-hop culture and New Orleans history.

Lil’ WeezyAna Fest is part of Live Nation Urban’s growing portfolio of major Black music experiences. The company is also behind festivals like The Roots Picnic, ONE Musicfest, Broccoli City Exchange, and “An Evening With Jagged Edge: 25 Years of J.E. Heartbreak.”

Live Nation Urban is also expanding into the creator economy through its new Creator Network. In partnership with Breakr, the platform will connect Black digital creators with top-tier brand campaigns nationwide.

As the culture continues to evolve, so does Lil’ WeezyAna Fest. Ten years in, it remains one of the most anticipated events in hip-hop, blending the spirit of New Orleans with the impact of global music legends.

Whether you’re a local or flying in to experience the vibes, one thing is certain — when Lil Wayne curates a night in his city, it’s not just a concert. It’s history.
