Lil Wayne: 20+ Years of Carter Classics

Lil Wayne plays the Frost Bank Center on Saturday, October 17, with 2 Chaniz as special guest. The show is billed as 20+ Years of Carter Classics, and that title tells you exactly what to expect: a set built around the records that made him. The Tha Carter trilogy is the anchor here—Tha Carter III from 2008 went eight times platinum, followed by Tha Carter IV in 2011 and Tha Carter V in 2018.

Wayne's a five-time GRAMMY winner and the founder of Young Money Entertainment, and the numbers behind the name are pretty steep. He's sold over 100 million records worldwide, and in 2022 he earned his first RIAA Diamond certification for "Lollipop," featuring Static Major. He also holds a particular spot on the charts: he's the first male artist to surpass Elvis Presley in Billboard Hot 100 entries, with 186 to his name. Beyond the music, he started The One Family Foundation and runs the label that launched the careers of Drake and Nicki Minaj.

If you're planning to go, keep the timing in mind. The show starts at 8:30 PM, but the doors open at 7:30 PM, and the parking lots open as early as 5:30 PM. With 2 Chaniz opening, there's a full bill on the night.
