Lil Wayne to Mark ‘Tha Carter VI’ Release With First MSG Headline Show

Nearly three decades into his Hall of Fame career, Lil Wayne is set to headline NYC’s Madison Square Garden for the first time on June 6. It’s going to be a celebratory night at one of the world’s most famous arenas, as Weezy will be releasing his anticipated Tha Carter VI album the same day.

Artist pre-sale tickets will go on sale starting on Wednesday (April 23), and the general sale begins on Friday (April 25) at 10 a.m. local time on Live Nation’s website.

NYC fans will hear the live debut of many of the C6 tracks along with the other hits in Weezy’s catalog throughout the night.

Tha Carter V arrived in 2018, and it’s been a long road to the sixth installment. Wayne confirmed the June 6 release date with a throwback trailer earlier in April, which came after the initial reveal in a Cetaphil ad surrounding the Super Bowl in February.

Rolling Stone had an early listen to the album and revealed features from Miley Cyrus, MGK, Andrea Bocelli, Wayne’s son Kameron, Bono and more. Wyclef Jean is also involved, while producers include Ye and Wheezy.

Tha Carter VI will mark Weezy’s first solo album since 2020’s Funeral, which debuted atop the Billboard 200. The last three installments of Wayne’s decorated Carter series have all gone No. 1.

The New Orleans native is yet to release a single in 2025, but he’s dished out assists such as hopping on GELO’s viral “Tweaker” remix in February.
