Lil Wayne is planning to put on for his city with the first ever Lil Weezyana Fest. Billed with the rapper's name plus "friends," Wayne revealed that he will reunite with the Hot Boys.
During an interview with DJ Wild Wayne of New Orleans' Q93.3 FM, Weezy officially announced the inaugural festival.
"I'm coming home to give my city a real show for all its support," he said. "And I'm bringing some of my good friends in the industry."
As noted by NOLA.com, Wayne, Juvenile and Turk will reunite onstage with Cash Money Records producer Mannie Fresh for the first time in more than 10 years this summer. The group's fourth member B.G. was sentenced to 14 years in prison back in 2012.
It's all set to go down on Aug. 28 at 7 p.m. at Bold Sphere Music at Champions Square, as noted in an Instagram post. Tickets go on sale to the general public on Saturday, July 11 at 10 a.m. CDT. This is event is standing room only.

On Independence Day, Wayne released his Free Weezy Album via Tidal. The 15-track offering featured the likes of Wiz Khalifa, Jeezy, Cory Gunz, Jim 'Capo' Jones and more. The project follows the release of his Sorry 4 The Wait 2 mixtape, which dropped after the delay of Tha Carter V.
