Lil Uzi Vert Teases New Album During Summer Smash Headline Set

The live tease of unreleased songs could signal the start of a public rollout for a fifth studio album.

Overview

  • Lil Uzi Vert, which headlined Lyrical Lemonade’s Summer Smash on June 12, opened with an unreleased track and closed the 45-minute set by telling the crowd “New album on the way.”
  • The set mixed recent hits and early fan favorites such as “POP,” “444+222,” “Aye,” “Money Longer,” “XO TOUR Llif3,” “Just Wanna Rock,” and “New Patek.”
  • Uzi arrived late to the main stage and apologized to the crowd, saying “Sorry I’m late. I had to jump off the jet,” before launching straight into the show.
  • The performance included vivid stage moments: a fan called Mars was invited up, a single report described a brief headbutt interaction that is not widely corroborated, and Uzi gave a shout-out to North West in the audience.
  • Observers noted stylistic shifts in the set — an outro performed in a British-sounding accent and European influences in fashion and sound — and outlets emphasize that no formal release date or label announcement has been made.
