Lil Wayne and fellow Hot Boys members Juvenile, B.G., and Turk will officially reunite at Lil’ WeezyAna Fest 2024 this November.
The New Orleans event goes down at Smoothie King Center on November 2nd and will also feature sets from Mannie Fresh and rising Louisiana rapper Rob49, with more artists to be announced in the coming weeks.
An artist pre-sale (use access code WEEZY) begins today, September 3rd at 12:00 p.m. CT. It will be followed by a Live Nation pre-sale (use access code CREATE) on Wednesday, September 4th, with the general on-sale taking place on Friday, September 6th via Ticketmaster.
Once tickets go on sale, you can also find deals and sold-out tickets at StubHub, where orders are 100% guaranteed through StubHub’s FanProtect program. StubHub is a secondary market ticketing platform, and prices may be higher or lower than face value, depending on demand.
The announcement comes after a rumored Hot Boys reunion failed to come together at Essence Fest in July, when Lil Wayne opted to perform a solo set instead of joining Juvenile and B.G. onstage during their performance with Birdman and Mannie Fresh.
During the lead-up to Essence Fest, Juvenile fueled anticipation by teasing a Hot Boys reunion album, but Wayne said he knew nothing about the project.
Formed in 1997 under Birdman’s Cash Money Records, the Hot Boys released three albums together, the most successful of which was 1999’s Guerrilla Warfare. They haven’t put out a project since 2003’s Let ‘Em Burn, which came out after Juvenile, B.G., and Turk departed the label due to financial issues.
Previously, obstacles like Turk and B.G.’s incarcerations stood in the way of an official reunion. Come November, it will finally come to fruition.
