Lil Wayne will ring in the New Year with a brand new tour planned to hit cities that he rarely gets to perform in. The Dedication Tour, which will feature hip-hop duo Rae Sremmurd as the opening act, kicks off January 21 in El Paso and will extend until March 6 when it wraps in Lincoln, Nebraska. The tour will also hit lesser-played cities like Wallingford, Connecticut, Sioux Falls, South Dakota, and Bossier City, Louisiana, according to a report from Billboard. The time fans saw Weezy on a major tour was during his 2014 co-headlining run with Drake on the Drake vs. Lil Wayne Tour, and so fans in the less-popular markets are jumping for tickets to see Lil Wayne.
