Lil Wayne rescheduled
YOUNGSTOWN — The Lil Wayne hip-hop concert has been rescheduled for May 10 at Chevrolet Centre.
The concert was to be Sunday, but was postponed so that the rapper could honor a prior commitment to film an episode of the CBS television series “CSI,” on which he is to be a guest star.
Tickets already bought will be honored at the May 10 concert.
The seating configuration has been expanded from half-house to whole-house for the May 10 concert, making an additional 2,500 tickets available. To purchase, go to the Chevy Centre box office; online at gettix.net; or call (866) 443-8849.
