Hip-hop icon Lil Wayne announces mammoth sideshows off his Australian tour with Eminem.
Lil Wayne
Lil Wayne will be in Australia with Eminem this November, and while those huge stadium shows have already sold out, he’s booked his own stadium sideshows.
Tunechi/Weezy/Dwayne Carter is a megastar in the US, his long-awaited ninth album Tha Carter IV debuting at number one and getting the highest first-week sales since Lady Gaga’s Born This Way.
He’s not such a giant here, debuting at number nine and fairly quickly dropping out of the ARIA chart, so it’ll be interesting to see if he can fill the extra stadia.
That said, he’s revered for his live show, grossing over $40 million in North America in 2009 and becoming hip-hop’s most-profitable performer.
Tickets to the three sideshows go on sale from 9am next Wednesday November 2 from Ticketek.
