Concert in Toronto on Monday featuring Lil Wayne is delayed due to sudden illness
Lil Wayne's Toronto Concert Canceled at the Last Minute
Lil Wayne's North American "Tha Carter VI Tour" concert in Toronto was abruptly canceled an hour before showtime on August 11, 2025, due to an "unforeseen illness" affecting the artist.
The concert, which was scheduled to take place at the Budweiser Stage, had already seen some opening acts perform, including Tyga and Belly Gang Kushington. However, Belly Gang Kushington did not appear at their scheduled set time.
The cancellation caused significant frustration among fans in Toronto, many of whom had traveled for hours, taken time off work, or made special arrangements to attend. The venue's statement was first shown at the concert and later posted on social media platforms around 8 p.m.
The venue's statement assured fans that all tickets for Monday's show will carry over to the new date that will be announced later. It also emphasized Lil Wayne's commitment to delivering high-quality performances.
Many concert-goers felt let down and deflated upon hearing the cancellation announcement. One Toronto resident, Price, who had to spend money on rides to and from the venue, expressed disappointment but did not consider the cancellation as a major issue.
The tour began at Madison Square Garden in New York on June 6 and is scheduled to continue through October 2025 across North America. The concert in Toronto was the first stop of the tour outside of New York and the only Canadian stop on the tour. Lil Wayne last performed in Toronto in 2023.
Despite the inconvenience, fans are anticipating the rescheduled concert with hope, waiting for the announcement of the new date. It remains uncertain when the concert will be rescheduled, but fans are eager to see Lil Wayne perform live once again.
