The long-running hip-hop group Wu-Tang Clan have announced what is described as “the start of their final tour,” titled “Wu-Tang Forever: The Final Chamber.”
Produced by AEG, the 27-date tour will kick off on June 6 in Baltimore at CFG Bank Arena and visit Los Angeles, Atlanta, Houston, Seattle, Chicago, New York’s Madison Square Garden, Boston, and more before wrapping on July 18 at Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia. The tour’s support act will be the hip-hop duo Run the Jewels (Killer Mike and El-P); full dates appear below.
The wording of the announcement, and the statement below from Wu-Tang Clan founder RZA, suggests that the tour will visit multiple territories and could continue for at least a couple of years.
RZA says: “Wu-Tang Clan has shown the world many chambers throughout our career; this tour is called ‘The Final Chamber.’ This is a special moment for me and all my Wu brothers to run around the globe together one more time and spread the Wu swag, music, and culture. Most importantly to touch our fans and those who have supported us throughout the years. On this tour we’re playing songs we’ve never played before to our audience and me and our production team have designed a Wu-Tang show unlike anything you’ve ever seen. And to top it off we’ve got the amazing Run the Jewels on our side.”
Tickets and VIP packages will go on sale at 10 AM local time on February 28. There will be no pre-sales for this tour. Fans may join the Wu queue online which will open 30 minutes before the on sale.
In advance of the tour, the group and Amazon Music will release an exclusive new live EP on Monday, recorded during the group’s 2023 “NY State of Mind” tour. The EP is available exclusively at Amazon Music streaming and physically limited to 1,500 vinyl units.
The announcement concludes, “Having just completed the first ever hip-hop residency in Las Vegas last year, Wu-Tang Clan is gearing up to begin this final tour with electric performances and a dedication to give fans one more chance to be a part of the group’s lasting legacy.”
