Lil Wayne's Lil Weezyana Fest returns to New Orleans' Champion Square on August 27 after a pandemic-induced hiatus. Wayne will headline and Moneybagg Yo, Coi Leray, Rob 49 and others are scheduled to appear.

"We're glad to be back home," Young Money President Mack Maine said in a statement. "New Orleans birthed us and we can travel and hit the stage anywhere in the world, but there's no place like home! As always, we will be honoring the many lives lost in Hurricane Katrina as this year marks the 17 year anniversary. Wayne is excited to get back home as this one will be one you won’t want to miss!”

The last Weezyana Fest occurred in 2019, right before COVID hit. Previous lineups have included Travis Scott, Megan Thee Stallion, Meek Mill, Jeezy, Gucci Mane, Master P, Big Freedia, Tory Lanez, Migos, Yo Gotti, 2 Chainz, the Hot Boyz,  Drake, Nicki Minaj, and Birdman.

This year, $0.50 of every ticket will be donated to support educational initiatives for New Orleans youth. The festival is sponsored by Live Nation Urban and tickets are available for purchase starting July 15 at 10 a.m. Citi card members are eligible for presale tickets through Thursday, July 14.
