Lil Wayne no-showed the opening night of his own tour and left a Bangor crowd waiting until 11 p.m.

Here is the tour math nobody wanted: one opener, zero headliners, and a parking lot full of people who drove a very long way to watch a stage sit empty.

Lil Wayne did not show up to the first night of his own tour. The Bangor stop at the Maine Savings Amphitheater on Tuesday was the opening date of his 20+ Years of Carter Classics run, and after 2 Chainz finished his opening set, the crowd waited through a long delay before an announcement around 11 p.m. told them Wayne would not be performing and the show was over. No reason was given in the moment, according to WABI, the local station that covered the night.

The fans did the traveling, Wayne did not

The best reporting on a no-show is never the press release. It is the person in the parking lot who just lost their whole evening.

Rita Sack drove more than six hours from Nova Scotia for this. She told WABI it was "the most terrible experience," and that the money was not even the worst part.

"Never mind the money. It's like, moments in life and that was going to be a moment. [My friend] left her six-month baby for the first time. Like, it's people's time. Just don't waste people's time."

Her ask was not complicated. A minute on the mic would have done it.

"We paid for Lil Wayne. Like, the least you can do is come out for a minute, apologize, you know? Like, just take the moment and be like, hey guys, sorry, not feeling it, feeling a little sick."

Not everyone was ready to file for divorce. Makayla Sullivan came up from Rhode Island with Lil Wayne's face tattooed on her side, which is a level of commitment that survives one bad night. She told WABI she is going to his New Hampshire show on Friday anyway. "Oh, I'm a ride or die. I'm going to see him in New Hampshire on Friday. Maybe he'll show up."

Maybe he'll show up. Put that on a shirt.

The apology arrived the next day

Wayne addressed it on Instagram Stories the following day. Per Rolling Stone, he wrote: "My Maine fans I'm so sorry... The show is being rescheduled to July 28. Please hold on to your tickets, they will be honored for the rescheduled date." He added, "I ain't shit without you I can't wait to come back and give you the show you deserve," and said ticket holders would get more information by email.

He still has not said what actually happened Tuesday night. As of now there is no stated reason for the no-show, just the reschedule and the apology.

What happens next

Original tickets get honored on July 28, and Wayne says details are coming to ticket holders by email. The tour rolls on before then, with the New Hampshire date on Friday that Sullivan is banking on. Whether that one starts on time is the only suspense left.

For a run literally named 20+ Years of Carter Classics, opening night became an instant classic for the wrong reason. The good news for Wayne is that his fans, as Bangor proved, are stubborn. The bad news is he is going to hear about this one for a while.
