Lil Wayne has joined the roster of performers booked for the Voodoo Experience in New Orleans, to be held Oct. 24-26 at New Orleans' City Park, reports Billboard.
The festival has R.E.M., Nine Inch Nails and Stone Temple Pilots as headliners, while Erykah Badu, Wyclef Jean, Joss Stone, Lupe Fiasco and the Blind Boys of Alabama will also give performances.
Wayne's scheduled appearance at Voodoo is legit, but his advertised gig at Club Illusions in Alabama on Saturday was a big fat scam that ended up leaving hundreds of fans disappointed.
According to WENN, the bogus concert promoter presented himself to the venue as Tony Lee of Coastal Boy Entertainment. After promising club manager Esa Jones that Weezey would be in attendance, 700 tickets were sold for the June 21 show.
But concert goers were ultimately left hanging, and the crook made off with over $45,000 in ticket sales.
"We got scammed real bad," said Jones. "It looked planned, they printed tickets, had radio advertisements, ticket locations, it looks so legit."
A police investigation has now been launched into the alleged fraud. - Conde Nast Portfolio.com: Lil Wayne to play New Orleans' Voodoo festival
