With Tha Carter VIset to arrive on Friday (June 6), Lil Wayne is plotting a North American tour to bring the album with him on the road later this year.

Announced on Tuesday (June 3), Weezy’s Tha Carter VI Tour is slated to kick off on Friday with a celebratory show at the iconic Madison Square Garden — Wayne’s first time headlining the NYC arena as a solo act.


The trek picks back up on June 30 in Virginia and then the 34-date tour heads to stops in Atlantic City, N.J.; Syracuse and Buffalo in New York; Toronto; Cincinnati; Minneapolis; Milwaukee; Detroit; Phoenix, Seattle; Los Angeles; Austin; Dallas; Atlanta and more before wrapping up in West Palm Beach, Fla., on Oct. 2.

It’s a Young Money reunion of sorts, with Tyga serving as an opener on the trek alongside Atlanta rapper Belly Gang Kushington. NoCap will also be appearing at a select number of shows.

The artist pre-sale will open up on Wednesday (June 4) while the general public will have their shot at tickets on Friday at 10 a.m. local time. Various VIP packages will also be available, and include “premium tickets, a limited edition poster, a specially designed gift and early entry into the venue,” according to the press release.

Tha Carter VI is Wayne’s first solo LP since 2020’s Funeral, which debuted atop the Billboard 200. The last three installments of the Carter series have reached the chart summit.

Weezy initially teased a C6 release date in a Cetaphil Super Bowl commercial, and ended up officially confirming the album’s June 6 arrival in April.

Obituary: Mike Bilcox of Ajax, Ontario Pop-Punk Band Not By Choice

Former drummer and now head of Round One Sports & Entertainment Liam Killeen pens this tribute to his former bandmate, with words from The Feldman Agency's Jeff Craib, Sum 41's Dave Baksh, Simple Plan's Chuck Comeau and more.

Mike Bilcox, lead singer and guitarist of Ajax, Ontario’s second most famous pop-punk band, Not By Choice, passed away on June 21, at age 48.

Mike started Not By Choice with his Ajax High School friend Glenn ‘Chico’ Dunning back in 1997. They had initially played a few shows under different names that may or may not be suitable for print, but our moniker came from Mike bothering his younger sister Chrissy at the dinner table. When she couldn’t take any more of his taunting, she promptly told her Mom, Pat, that he was annoying her – Pat yelled ‘Well, he’s your brother!’ to which Chrissy quickly replied ‘Yeah, not by choice!’. With that, a real band was born.
