The legendary hip-hop group Wu-Tang Clan is set to launch its final North American tour, titled Wu-Tang Forever: The Final Chamber, beginning June 8, 2025. The tour will span 27 cities across the United States and Canada, culminating on July 18 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
All surviving original members—RZA, GZA, Method Man, Raekwon, Ghostface Killah, Inspectah Deck, U-God, Masta Killa, and longtime affiliate Cappadonna—will perform, joined by Young Dirty Bastard, the son of the late founding member Ol’ Dirty Bastard.
Formed in Staten Island, New York, in the early 1990s, Wu-Tang Clan is widely recognized as one of the most influential and innovative acts in hip-hop history. Their 1993 debut album, Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers), introduced a gritty, sample-heavy sound and a raw, street-level aesthetic that reshaped the genre. Known for pioneering a group model that emphasized individual success alongside collective identity, members of Wu-Tang Clan went on to release classic solo albums while maintaining the group’s mystique and dominance.
The group's influence stretches far beyond music. Their brand has permeated fashion, film, philosophy, and global pop culture, setting a precedent for artist-owned empires in hip-hop. Wu-Tang’s embrace of martial arts imagery, Five Percent Nation ideology, and entrepreneurial independence helped establish them not just as artists, but as cultural architects.
This farewell tour will serve as a celebration of their multi-decade impact, with a setlist expected to include iconic tracks as well as deeper cuts never before performed live. Hip-hop duo Run the Jewels will join the lineup for most dates, adding further weight to the tour’s stature.
Major cities on the tour include New York, Los Angeles, Toronto, Chicago, Houston, Atlanta, and Vancouver, among others. Tickets are available through major platforms including Ticketmaster and the group’s official website.
With this tour, Wu-Tang Clan closes a historic chapter, marking over three decades of influence, creativity, and evolution in global hip-hop culture.
