Lil Wayne brings his “20 Years of Carter Classics” tour to Frost Bank Center in San Antonio on Saturday, Oct. 17, 2026, with tickets starting at $60. The tour celebrates two decades of the “Tha Carter” album series, the run of records that made Weezy one of the most influential rappers of his generation.
Born Dwayne Michael Carter Jr. in New Orleans, Lil Wayne signed with Cash Money Records as a pre-teen and first broke through as a member of the Hot Boys alongside Juvenile, B.G. and Turk. “Tha Carter” arrived in 2004, and the series reached its peak with 2008’s “Tha Carter III,” which sold more than a million copies in its first week, spun off hits including “Lollipop” and “A Milli,” and won the Grammy for Best Rap Album. He returned to the series with “Tha Carter VI” in 2025.
San Antonio has a deep hip-hop fan base, and a Saturday night arena show from a rapper with Wayne’s catalog is a big event for the city. The tour, which launched in Maine at the end of June, has featured 2 Chainz and The Game as special guests on many dates, and it was extended into the fall due to demand.
Beyond his own records, Lil Wayne’s legacy includes founding Young Money Entertainment, the label that launched the careers of Drake and Nicki Minaj. Across his career he has won five Grammy Awards and logged a long list of Billboard Hot 100 entries. His show is part of a strong fall for rap at the arena, which hosted J. Cole in September.
Doors typically open about 90 minutes before showtime. Frost Bank Center offers paid parking in the lots around the arena. With a Saturday night crowd and special guests expected, arrive early to get through security and catch the full lineup.
