Legendary hip-hop collective Wu-Tang Clan announced their return to the road this summer with “Wu-Tang Forever: The Final Chamber Tour,” bringing one of the most influential groups in music history back to stages across North America. Promoted by Live Nation, the 26-city tour will make a stop at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on Saturday, Oct. 3.
Formed in Staten Island in the 1990s, Wu-Tang Clan revolutionized hip-hop with their gritty sound, martial arts-inspired mythology and collective model that launched group success and solo careers. Their 1993 debut album “Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)” is widely considered one of the most influential hip-hop records of all time, spawning the classics “C.R.E.A.M.” and “Protect Ya Neck.”
