Lil Wayne has not announced any concerts in continental Europe or Ireland for 2027. As of 6 October 2026, his only scheduled shows are in the United States, on a run called 20 Years of Carter Classics with 2 Chainz on the bill, and the one date in 2027 is in Reading, Pennsylvania, not in Europe.
European fans have seen him far less often than American audiences. The documented history on this site comes down to three short visits: a club and theatre run in March 2008, an arena tour in October 2013 that took in Paris, Brussels, Dublin, Amsterdam and four German cities, and a summer run in August 2017 that ended at the Olympia in Paris. There was also an open-air show in Liège in July 2009.
This page explains what is and is not announced for 2027, then goes through Lil Wayne's concerts on the continent and in Ireland, his albums and what a recent European set list looked like.
There is no official information about a Lil Wayne tour of Europe in 2027. No city, venue or sale date has been published for the continent or for Ireland, and the confirmed tour data used by this site lists nothing for him in Europe.
What has been announced is a North American run celebrating the Tha Carter series, billed as 20 Years of Carter Classics, with 2 Chainz on every date. The shows announced so far are in Charleston on 16 October 2026, San Antonio on 17 October, Knoxville on 23 October, Greenville on 24 October, Lexington on 4 December and Savannah on 5 December 2026. Three of them, Greenville, Lexington and Reading, are rescheduled dates.
The only 2027 date on that run is at the Santander Arena in Reading, Pennsylvania, on 26 February 2027. It has nothing to do with the Reading Festival in England: the Pennsylvania show is an indoor arena date in the United States, and it is one of the rescheduled shows.
His most recent album, Tha Carter VI, came out on 6 June 2025 and was not followed by European dates. Until the artist or a European venue announces a concert, treat any list of 2027 European dates, any 'presale code' and any ticket listing with suspicion.
Lil Wayne's first documented European shows came in March 2008, three months before Tha Carter III was released. The setlist archive lists the Grote Zaal in Eindhoven on 6 March, Le Bataclan in Paris on 7 March, Le Ramier in Toulouse on 9 March and Club Petrol in Antwerp on 10 March 2008. The Toulouse set is the only one from that trip with a full song list: eleven songs from 'Tha Block Is Hot' and 'Go DJ' to 'Hustler Musik', 'Fireman' and 'Stuntin' Like My Daddy'.
On 10 July 2009, at the height of his fame after Tha Carter III, he played an open-air show at the Parc Astrid de Coronmeuse in Liège, Belgium. It is his only documented European concert of that year.
His largest European tour came in October 2013, after I Am Not a Human Being II. The archive records The O2 in Dublin, now the 3Arena, on 9 October; the Zénith in Toulouse on 12 October; Le Dôme in Marseille on 13 October; the Palais Omnisports de Paris-Bercy on 16 October; Forest National in Brussels on 17 October; the Mitsubishi Electric Halle in Düsseldorf on 19 October; the Ziggo Dome in Amsterdam on 21 October; the Festhalle in Frankfurt on 28 October; and the Alsterdorfer Sporthalle in Hamburg on 29 October 2013.
Four years later, in August 2017, he played a short European run: the Grote Kaai in Lokeren, Belgium, on 10 August, the Palladium in Cologne on 13 August, the LKA Longhorn in Stuttgart on 15 August and L'Olympia in Paris on 16 August 2017. The Stuttgart show is the best documented, with 21 songs.
Since August 2017 there has been no documented Lil Wayne concert in continental Europe or Ireland. Fans in France, Belgium and Germany have had the most chances to see him; Paris has hosted him three times, at the Bataclan, at Bercy and at the Olympia.
Seen as a whole, his European career is a series of short, compact trips rather than long tours: four shows in five days in 2008, nine in three weeks in 2013 and four in a week in 2017. None of them was followed by a return the next year, and the gap since the last one, in August 2017, is now more than nine years.
The table below lists 18 documented European concerts by Lil Wayne between 2008 and 2017, with the most shows in Paris (3), Toulouse (2), Stuttgart (1), Cologne (1), Lokeren (1), Hamburg (1). It is not exhaustive: it only includes documented shows.

Across the 4 most recent documented European concerts with a full song list (9 March 2008 to 15 August 2017), these are the songs that came up most often. Titles only — set lists change from night to night.
Lil Wayne's European record is mostly made up of his own shows. The two outdoor dates in the data are the Parc Astrid de Coronmeuse in Liège on 10 July 2009 and the Grote Kaai in Lokeren on 10 August 2017. There is no documented headline slot at the big continental festivals such as Rock Werchter, Roskilde or Lollapalooza Paris.
Dwayne Michael Carter Jr. was born on 27 September 1982 in New Orleans and grew up in the Hollygrove neighbourhood. Discovered by Birdman, he signed to Cash Money Records at the age of 11, first rapped in the duo the B.G.'z and then in the Hot Boys with Juvenile, B.G. and Turk, whose Guerrilla Warfare (1999) and appearance on 'Bling Bling' brought them to a national audience.
His solo debut Tha Block Is Hot (1999) was an immediate success, followed by Lights Out (2000) and 500 Degreez (2002). Tha Carter (2004) and Tha Carter II (2005) both entered the top five of the Billboard 200, and his run of mixtapes in the mid-2000s changed how rappers released music. Tha Carter III (2008) sold more than a million copies in its first week in the United States, gave him his first Hot 100 number one with 'Lollipop' and won the Grammy for Best Rap Album.
Rebirth (2010), a rap-rock experiment, was poorly received, and he served an eight-month sentence in 2010 for criminal possession of a weapon; I Am Not a Human Being came out while he was in prison. Tha Carter IV (2011) sold 964,000 copies in its first week, and in September 2012 he passed Elvis Presley for the most entries on the Billboard Hot 100 by a male artist. His label Young Money Entertainment, founded in 2005, signed Drake, Nicki Minaj and Tyga.
In 2014 he and Drake co-headlined Drake vs. Lil Wayne, a North American tour themed on the Street Fighter games that ranked as the third-highest-grossing hip-hop tour of the year. In January 2015 he self-released the mixtape Sorry 4 the Wait 2 while Tha Carter V was held up, and in March 2023 he issued I Am Music, his first greatest-hits collection. In February 2025 he performed on the Saturday Night Live 50th anniversary special.
After a long dispute with Cash Money, Tha Carter V finally appeared on his 36th birthday, 27 September 2018, and reached number five in the UK. Funeral (2020) became his fifth US number-one album; a collaborative album with 2 Chainz, Welcome 2 Collegrove, followed in November 2023, and Tha Carter VI in June 2025. He has sold more than 120 million records worldwide and won five Grammy Awards.

Paris is the European city with the most documented Lil Wayne concerts. He played Le Bataclan on 7 March 2008, before Tha Carter III made him a household name, then the Palais Omnisports de Paris-Bercy, now the Accor Arena, on 16 October 2013, and L'Olympia on 16 August 2017.
The Bercy show is one of the few complete European set lists on record: 18 songs, opening with 'Blunt Blowin'' and 'John' and moving through 'Lollipop', 'Mrs. Officer', 'Got Money' and 'A Milli' before 'How to Love', '6 Foot 7 Foot' and a closing 'No Worries'.
France as a whole has been a regular stop. Beyond Paris he played Le Ramier in Toulouse in 2008, and the Zénith in Toulouse and Le Dôme in Marseille on consecutive nights in October 2013.
Belgium has had four documented visits: Club Petrol in Antwerp in March 2008, the Parc Astrid de Coronmeuse in Liège in July 2009, Forest National in Brussels in October 2013 and the Grote Kaai in Lokeren in August 2017. That is more than any other country on the continent except France and Germany.
The Brussels show of 17 October 2013 has the longest documented European set: 20 songs, including 'The Motto', 'Bandz a Make Her Dance' and 'No New Friends'. In the Netherlands, he played the Grote Zaal in Eindhoven in 2008 and the Ziggo Dome in Amsterdam on 21 October 2013.
Germany saw Lil Wayne on the 2013 and 2017 tours. In October 2013 he played the Mitsubishi Electric Halle in Düsseldorf, the Festhalle in Frankfurt and the Alsterdorfer Sporthalle in Hamburg, and in August 2017 the Palladium in Cologne and the LKA Longhorn in Stuttgart.
The Stuttgart show of 15 August 2017 is the most recent full set list from his European concerts, with 21 songs from 'Got Money' and 'I'm Goin' In' to 'Mirror', 'A Milli' and 'No Problem'.
Ireland's only documented Lil Wayne concert is The O2 in Dublin on 9 October 2013, the first night of that autumn's European tour. The venue has since been renamed the 3Arena.
He has not played Ireland since. Irish fans looking for a closer date have had to travel to Britain or the continent, and nothing has been announced for 2027.
Lil Wayne's European shows have run to about 18 to 21 songs, built as a fast run through his hits and guest verses rather than a full album performance. The 2013 sets at Bercy and Forest National included 'John', 'Rich as Fuck', 'She Will', 'Lollipop', 'Mrs. Officer', 'Got Money', 'A Milli', 'Pop That', 'Love Me' and 'No Worries'.
The Stuttgart show of August 2017 kept many of the same songs and added 'Believe Me', 'Loyal', 'I'm the Man', 'I'm Me', 'Drop the World' and 'Mirror'. Across the documented European set lists, the songs heard most often are 'John', 'Rich as Fuck', 'She Will', 'Lollipop', 'Mrs. Officer', 'Got Money', 'A Milli', 'Pop That', 'Love Me' and 'I'm Goin' In'.
The current American run is themed around twenty years of the Tha Carter albums, so if he does come back to Europe, a set weighted towards those records would be a reasonable expectation, but no European set has been announced.
There are no Lil Wayne tickets on sale for concerts in Europe or Ireland in 2027, because none have been announced. Any site offering European seats or a 'presale code' for him now is not selling an official ticket.
If dates are announced, tickets will normally go on sale through the official ticket outlet of each country and the venue's own website, sometimes after a presale for registered fans. Avoid unofficial resale sites, and if you cannot go, use only the official resale platform of the country concerned.
