Lil Wayne, T-Pain coming to Target Center Jan. 19

December 16, 2008 at 4:28PM

Rap star Lil' Wayne might finally have to wear something besides his trademark low-riding, heinie-exposing jeans: He's coming to Minneapolis to perform in January.

Wayne, T-Pain and Keyshia Cole are scheduled to perform together Jan. 19 at the Target Center. Tickets ($39.75-$79.75) go on sale Saturday at 10 a.m. Rap/rock band Gym Class Heroes and Keri Hilson are also on the lineup.

Lil' Wayne has the biggest-selling album of the year, "Tha Carter III," which sold more than 1 million copies the week it came out in June. It is also a critical favorite, winding up on many best-of-2008 lists.

Jan. 19 will be a busy night for concerts in the Twin Cities, with AC/DC returning to Xcel Energy Center and the Killers at Northrop Auditorium.
