Rap superstar Lil Wayne is set to embark on a 40-date summer concert run across the U.S. The tour will kick off at the Comcast Theater in Hartford, CT July 13th and conclude at the Cynthia Mitchell Woods Pavilion in The Woodlands, TX September 11th. Mansfield’s Comcast Center will welcome him in July 17th just one day after he takes center stage at PNC Bank Arts Center in Holmdel, NJ.

Additional cities on the tour itinerary include Scranton, Cincinnati, Tampa, Atlanta, Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Pittsburgh, Kansas City, Phoenix, San Diego, Denver and Dallas. Wayne will gain support on tour from Rick Ross, Keri Hilson, Far East Movement and Lloyd. The string of concerts is a continuation of his 2009 I Am Music Tour. His 2011 dates will mark his first live shows since being released from prison after serving eight months on weapons-related charges.

The Young Money Entertainment CEO is currently working to release his ninth studio album Tha Carter IV, which is expected to drop in stores this June. His 2008 album Tha Carter III sold over 3 million copies behind popular singles “Lollipop,” “A Milli,” “Got Money” and “Mrs. Officer.”
