“It’s not a joke, if that’s what you’re asking,” a representative from iHeartRadio responded when asked about the flurry of doubt surrounding a recently announced Lil Wayne show in Tucson.
The links and rumors are true. Lil Wayne will be playing at Club XS on Tuesday, June 30 as a Hot 98.3 promotional concert in support of the New Orleans-based rapper’s “Sorry 4 the Wait 2” mixtape release. In fact, presale kicked off today for the tickets, which are $60 or $100, depending on which price tier you opt for. According to the Hot 98.3 website, you can use the promo code HOT to buy tickets to the event today
“It’s cause he can’t do concerts right now so he’s doing club nights,” she went on to explain, “It’s due to some legal issues with his label, but that’s all I know.”
Club XS operated out of the old DV8 Night Club on Speedway Boulevard between Wilmot and Craycroft roads. The venue, located at 5851 E. Speedway Blvd., boasts 13,000 square feet of club space.
According to the website, there are a limited 1,000 tickets available. The tickets go on sale to the general public on Friday, June 5 at noon via Brown Paper Tickets.

It’s only a 3 song performance. People be pissed when they find this out after buying tickets
$60 to $100? So all the wannabe gangstuhs from the burbs will be there.
Lil Wayne I’m so disappointed. You seem to have no respect for your fans. Last nights concert in Tucson was a joke! Your fans waited for you 5 hours for you to come on stage and you did 2 songs was on stage for 10-15 minutes. Looks like all you did was hustle your fans by getting on stage last minute and doing the bear minimum to pick up your check and leave town. Oh and what happened at Scottsdale? I heard you didn’t even go on stage! I guess it’s all about the money for you and no respect for your fans. #nofanlove
