“We’re glad to be back home,” Young Money President Mack Maine said in a statment. “New Orleans birthed us and we can travel and hit the stage anywhere in the world, but there’s no place like home!”
“As always, we will be honoring the many lives lost in Hurricane Katrina as this year marks the 17th year anniversary. Wayne is excited to get back home as this one will be one you won’t want to miss!”
This year, $0.50 of every ticket will be donated to support educational initiatives for New Orleans youth.
On the music side, Lil Wayne is slated to make an appearance on DJ Premier’s Hip Hop Volume 1 and the EP arrives on Friday.
