Lil Waynes Summer Tour 2009

By Amy Nutt

After a brief tour through the USA and Canada this past winter, Lil Wayne is back on the circuit again with his Americas Most Wanted Music Festival tour.

The Young Money production began its tour run in Scranton, Pennsylvania at the Toyota Pavilion on Monday July 27th. Among the headliners in addition to Lil Wayne, are Nicki Minaj, Young Jeezy, Jeremih , Soulja Boy and Drake, a rising young rapper. The tour will run from July 27th until September 6th and covers dozens of major cities in the US as well as performing at two Canadian venues, one in Vancouver, British Columbia and the second in Edmonton, Alberta.

Lil Wayne and Young Jeezy's summer tour dates:

- July 27 - Scranton, PA at Toyota Pavilion - July 29 - Saratoga, NY at Performing Arts Center - July 30 - Pittsburgh, PA at Post Gazette Pavilion - July 31 - Philadelphia at Susquehanna Bank Center - August 01 - Wantagh, NY at Jones Beach Theater - August 02 - Virginia Beach at Verizon Wireless Amphitheater - August 04 - Toronto at Molson Amphitheater - August 05 - Montreal at Bell Centre - August 06 - Cleveland at Blossom Pavilion - August 07 - Washington, D.C. at Nissan Pavilion - August 08 - Raleigh, NC at Walnut Creek Amphitheater - August 09 - Atlanta at Lakewood Amphitheater - August 12 - Phoenix at Cricket Wireless Amphitheater - August 13 - Los Angeles (TBD) - August 14 - Irvine, CA at Verizon Wireless Amphitheater - August 15 - Concord, CA at Sleep Train Pavilion - August 17 - Vancouver at GM Place - August 18 - Edmonton, AB at Rexall Place - August 20 - Denver at Fiddler's Green Amphitheatre - August 22 - Houston at Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion - August 23 - Dallas at Superpages.com Center

Nicki Minaj will be promoting her mix tape, 'Beam Me Up Scotty' and says she is looking forward to getting back on the road with her Young Money family. Drake was expected to give a sneak peek of a few of his tracks from his anticipated debut album, 'Thank Me Later,' but that may be put on hold due to a recent knee injury. He hopes that the intensive acupuncture treatments he has been getting and with the help of a knee brace, he may be able to get on stage at least a few times during the tour. Drake felt that even if he travels with the tour, he can at least show that he is there for the rest of them for support. He was to perform a 30 minute set of his own as part of the show but he feels he may have to cut his stage time.

According to reports from the opening night in Scranton the tour kicked off with a bang leaving the fans in the PA town ready for and wanting more. Jeremih and Pleasure P started off the show with their sexy sultry tunes followed up by Soulja Boy with loads of energy setting the mood for the remainder of the night. The ladies in the crowd raised their voices to sing along when 'Kiss Me through the Phone' began to play, but the ultimate show stopper for Soulja Boy was during 'Turn My Swag On', when he began tossing $100 bills to the fans in the audience!

Young Jeezy kept up the crowds enthusiasm and his street team handed out items like towels and stickers to promote his upcoming LP. Then it was time for the headliner, Lil Wayne to come alive on stage, and that he did. The fans stood on seats and armrests of their chairs to have the best view possible when Lil Wayne appeared on stage. A large compliment of singers performed that evening and the entire family was onstage for the final song, 'My Girl' with the audience singing along.

This sounds like a concert that fans will not want to miss; so be sure to check you favorite ticket distributor and get the dates that they will be in the city near you. The show promises not to disappoint and will leave you wanting more and more and more! - 18780
