This album is for the ones who’ve been riding with me through all Tha Carters. We takin’ it further than ever before with this one. Tunechi back. C6 is here. I’m just bein myself. Sorry for the wait.”

How the 2026 extension differs
On March 17, 2026, Live Nation announced an extension into 2026, framed as a celebration of more than 20 years of the Carter albums. Current event pages use the name “20 Years of Carter Classics.” Live Nation described the extension as adding 25+ new U.S. dates while calling it a North American tour in the announcement text. The announcement named 2 Chainz as joining the majority of dates and The Game as supporting select shows—different support from the 2025 itinerary. See Live Nation’s 2026 extension announcement.
The release gave June 30, 2026, at Maine Savings Amphitheater in Bangor as the planned opening and October 23 at Food City Center in Knoxville as the planned finale. The planned opening date is now past. The October finale is listed ahead as of October 8, 2026, but event schedules can change.

Live Nation’s announcement also included presales beginning March 18 and general onsale beginning March 20, 2026, along with a limited 2-for-$75 offer using code DayOnes. Those dates and the promotion were announced at the time; they should not be treated as active offers.

How to check dates, tickets, and venue rules
- Open Live Nation’s Lil Wayne events page and select the event for your city. Check its date, venue, and any rescheduled notice.
- Follow the event’s ticket link to its official ticket page and confirm whether tickets are currently available. Ticketmaster Help lists 27 shows for “Lil Wayne 20 Years of Carter Classics,” but says its chart may change; that count is not a promise that all 27 remain available or unchanged. See Ticketmaster’s event help page.
- Read the selected venue’s event details for age restrictions and entry policies. Ticketmaster says age restrictions may apply, and the rules depend on the venue.
Is 20 Years of Carter Classics the same tour?
It is the 2026 extension associated with the Carter tour, not the original 2025 itinerary under an unchanged schedule. The 2025 announcement was tied to Tha Carter VI and listed Tyga, Belly Gang Kushington, and NoCap on select dates. The 2026 extension was promoted around the Carter series and named 2 Chainz for most dates and The Game for select shows. For a particular concert, rely on its current event listing rather than assuming either year’s lineup or schedule applies.
