Wu-Tang Clan announce last-ever tour after three decades
The legendary hip hop crew will be joined by Run The Jewels across an extensive 27-date tour
Wu-Tang Clan have announced their last-ever tour, Wu-Tang Forever: The Final Chamber, set to kick off this summer across North America.
The tour commences on June 6 at Baltimore’s CFG Bank Arena, and will see the legendary hip hop crew take on stadiums and arenas across the country over the course of six weeks.
Wu-Tang Clan will be joined by Run The Jewels – AKA Killer Mike and El-P – along every stop on the tour, where they'll open each show.
“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,” says de facto Wu-Tang frontman RZA.

“Most importantly, to touch our fans and those who have supported us throughout the years," he adds. "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.”
The announcement of their final tour comes more than three decades after Wu-Tang Clan began performing shows as a group, and is projected to feature all surviving members, per The New York Times.
Members set to appear include RZA, GZA, Raekwon, Ghostface Killah, Method Man, Inspectah Deck, U-God, Masta Killa, and Cappadonna, as well as the son of late rapper Ol’ Dirty Bastard, Young Dirty Bastard.
