Wu-Tang Clan has announced what’s being billed as the legendary Staten Island crew’s final tour. The Wu is plotting the Wu-Tang Forever: The Final Chamber tour, which was announced on Monday (Feb. 24).

The trek will invade arenas across North America starting on June 6 in Baltimore to kick off the 27-date tour. Run the Jewels is slated to provide support as an opening act.


There is no pre-sale for the AEG-produced tour, with general tickets going on sale at 10 a.m. local time on Feb. 28. VIP packages will also be available. A Wu-Tang queue is scheduled to open 30 minutes before tickets are on sale.

“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,” RZA said in a statement.

He continued: “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.”

Cities on deck include Tampa Bay, Houston, Phoenix, San Francisco, Sacramento, Portland, Chicago, Detroit, Boston, and New York City, and will wrap up in Philadelphia on July 18. There are two Canadian dates: Vancouver's Rogers Arena on June 30 and Toronto's Scotiabank Arena on July 14.

All nine living members of the Wu-Tang Clan will be participating in the final tour while Young Dirty Bastard will take his late father’s place (Ol’ Dirty Bastard passed away in 2004).

The final tour is being billed to contain a unique setlist of tracks that the Wu never performed in the past while also mixing in the classic hits from the group’s catalog. This marks the culmination of a five-year plan, per RZA.

How does one reinvent themselves after becoming, in under a decade, a cornerstone of the French music scene, with over six billion streams and 24 diamond certifications (16 in France and 8 internationally, according to the National Syndicate of Phonographic Publishing)?

“I’ve asked myself that question,” Aya Nakamura admits.
