Live Nation Urban and Amazon Music join forces to livestream Lil’ WeezyAna Fest, available on Prime Video and the Amazon Music channel on Twitch.
Live Nation Urban and Amazon Music have joined forces to livestream the sold-out Lil’ WeezyAna Fest exclusively on Prime Video and the Amazon Music channel on Twitch. The highly anticipated event kicks off on Saturday, November 2, broadcast live from Smoothie King Center in Lil Wayne’s hometown of New Orleans, starting at 7:30 PM CT.
Presented by Rotation, the hip-hop and R&B brand from Amazon Music, the festival’s livestream will be hosted by influential hip-hop commentators Loren Lorosa, Mouse Jones, and Wayno.
Following its announcement in September, Lil’ WeezyAna Fest sold out instantly. The lineup includes a Hot Boys reunion with Lil Wayne, Juvenile, B.G., and Turk, plus sets from Big Tymers (Birdman and Mannie Fresh), Rob49, and more. Through the livestream, Amazon Music and Live Nation Urban will provide fans with the unique opportunity to take part in the festivities from the comfort of their homes, sharing a taste of New Orleans with the rest of the world.
In addition to Lil’ WeezyAna Fest, Live Nation Urban and Lil Wayne have an exciting weekend in store for New Orleans, beginning with the DJ Drama & Friends Pre-Party at 7:00 PM CT on Friday, November 1. The following day, Lil Wayne brings Weezycon, which will run from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM CT at The Fillmore.
The free event will be hosted by Culture Creators and feature inspiring conversations from the likes of HaSizzle, Tarionna Tank Ball (Tank of “Tank and The Bangas”), Sony Digital, and more. Capping off the weekend will be a special Thank You Brunch on Sunday, November 3, hosted by Cita and Reginae Carter with Rude Jude.
Since 2015, Lil Wayne has hosted one of the most dynamic events for his hometown of New Orleans. Lil’ WeezyAna Fest has cemented itself as an annual homecoming for Wayne that celebrates the city’s musical history and is a way for him to give back to the community.
