28 JUNE 26-JULY 2, 2025 westword.com WESTWORD | MUSIC | CAFE | CULTURE | NIGHT+DAY | LETTERS | CONTENTS | Thirty-three years after their original formation in 1992, the iconic hip- hop group Wu-Tang Clan is em- barking on their fi nal tour this sum- mer, with support from powerhouse rap duo Run The Jewels. Produced by AEG Presents, Wu-Tang Forever: The Final Chamber Tour gives fans one last opportunity to see all nine surviving Wu-Tang Clan members perform as a unit. The Staten Island supergroup made up of prolifi c emcees RZA, Ghostface Killah, Method Man, GZA, Cappadonna, Inspectah Deck, U-God, Masta Killa, and Raekwon is coming to Colorado’s Fiddler’s Green Amphi- theater on Friday, July 4 to shake up your Independence Day week- end plans. When Wu-Tang Clan last played Fiddler’s Green with Run The Jewels in 2023, tickets sold out immediately, so grab yours now and don’t miss out on this historic farewell performance! More than a rap group, Wu-Tang Clan is a globally-recognized pil- lar of hip-hop that pioneered East Coast rap music and culture. Their groundbreaking 1993 debut album Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Cham- bers) is widely considered one of the greatest and most infl uential hip-hop albums of all time, and launched them from humble begin- nings into worldwide stardom with now-classic hits like “C.R.E.A.M.” and “Protect Ya Neck.” Since then, they’ve released seven gold and platinum studio albums, with total sales surpassing forty mil- lion around the world. To this day, Wu-Tang Clan is renowned for their cutting-edge instrumentals and gritty lyrics blending martial arts mythology with the reality of 1990s New York street life. Last year, they made history as the fi rst hip-hop act to headline a hotel casino on the Las Vegas strip, reuniting for a resi- dency at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas. Combining forces once more for Wu-Tang Forever: The Final Chamber Tour, Wu-Tang’s surviv- ing members are joined by Young Dirty Bastard, performing in honor of his late father, original Wu-Tang member Old Dirty Bastard. The twenty-seven-date tour, which kicked off June 6 in Baltimore, is an unprecedented celebration of the group’s award-winning catalogue. “Wu-Tang Clan has shown the world many chambers throughout our career; this tour is called The Final Chamber,” explains Wu- Tang’s de facto leader RZA in the group’s tour announcement. “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.” To commemorate their fi nal tour, Wu-Tang Clan created the Wu- Tang Forever Time Capsule, a one-of-a-kind vault traveling with them throughout each city. At every tour stop, the group will add a new piece of fan memorabilia to the time capsule, inviting their biggest fans to participate in the formation of their lasting legacy. The capsule was introduced at a surprise show in Yellow Springs, Ohio hosted by Dave Chapelle, who added his own signed Wu- Tang Clan vinyl to jumpstart the collection. The Wu-Tang Forever Time Capsule is exclusively on display to ticket holders who purchase the Shaolin Temple VIP Experience, which also includes premium seating and exclusive merch. Wu-Tang Forever: The Final Cham- ber Tour is a must-see show for any true hip-hop fans. Wu-Tang’s set will feature deep cuts as well as crowd-pleasing hits, and includes songs that have never been per- formed live before–and will never be performed live again after this tour. “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,” RZA hints in the tour announcement. Tickets for the all-ages July 4 show with Run The Jewels at Fiddler’s Green are on sale now, starting at $69. This Fourth of July, experience a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to celebrate the legacy of the greatest rap group in hip-hop history!
