The Hot Boys broke up in 2003, but the Lollipop hitmaker reveals he will hit the stage with rappers Juvenile and Turk and producer Mannie Fresh for the Lil Weezyana Fest on 28 August (15) at Champions Square in New Orleans, Louisiana.

The group's fourth member, B.G., will not be in attendance because he is currently serving a 14-year prison sentence for gun possession and witness tampering.

Lil Wayne tells radio station Q93.3FM, "I'm coming home to give my city a real show for all its support and I'm bringing some of my good friends in the industry.

"Please come out, enjoy yourself, lose your mind. I will find it for you later, and return it back."

Additional artists will be added to the lineup and the event will also reportedly serve as a benefit concert for the 10th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, which claimed the lives of over 1,800 people in 2005.

The 32 year old is hoping to make the festival an annual event.
