Wu-Tang Clan has announced a North American tour dubbed the Wu-Tang Forever: The Final Chamber Tour, which kicks off on June 6 in Baltimore.
While RZA claimed it was the “start of the final tour” in a statement, sources close to AllHipHop suggest it won’t be the last time we see RZA, U-God, GZA, Cappadonna, Ghostface Killah, Raekwon, Masta Killah, Inspectah Deck and Method Man share a stage. It also doesn’t mean they are breaking up or will stop making music together. For now, the surviving members of the legendary Staten Island Hip-Hop group will enlist Young Dirty Bastard to fill in for his father, the late Ol’ Dirty Bastard, who died in 2004. Together, they’ll hit 27 cities across the entire continent, including Los Angeles, New York City, Atlanta, Boston and Houston. On July 4, the collective will hit Denver’s Fiddler’s Green Amphitheater for a special surprise. While details are strictly confidential, it’s going to be worth the trip.
Wu-Tang Clan revolutionized Hip-Hop with their debut album, Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers), in 1993. Their raw, gritty sound and unique blend of street wisdom, martial arts theme and innovative production techniques helped set them apart. The group’s impact on the genre was profound, as they revitalized East Coast Hip-Hop and introduced a new level of lyricism and storytelling to the art form. RZA’s production style, characterized by dusty soul samples, movie soundtracks and kung-fu film dialogue, elevated Hip-Hop production to new heights and influenced countless producers. The group’s authenticity and raw portrayal of urban life resonated deeply with listeners, inspiring a generation of artists to embrace their roots and experiences in their music.
Tickets go on sale Friday (February 28), with a select number of VIP packages available for purchase. Find more details here.
