Wu-Tang Clan Ready New Live Dates

The legendary Wu-Tang Clan are coming to the UK for two new shows.

The dates in London and Manchester this July will mark the rap collective’s first shows on these shores for two years.

Appearing live will be original Wu-Tang members Ghostface Killah, RZA, GZA, Raekwon, Method Man, Inspectah Deck, Masta Killa , U-God and Cappadona.

The New York collective are touring material from their as-yet-untitled new record expected in the summer.

RZA modestly said of the return to AllHipHop :  “This is the perfect time for us to come back, the stars are aligned. It’s like when we first started…. We put out real hip hop at a time when it was turning into pop or R&B.

“We brought the focus back to the music in its rawest form, without studio polish or radio hooks... People want something that gives them an adrenaline rush. We’re here to supply that fix.

“How could hip hop be dead if Wu-Tang is forever? We’re here to revive the spirit and the economics and bring in a wave of energy that has lately dissipated."

Tickets for the two shows are on sale now. They play:

London Hammersmith Apollo – July 5
Manchester Apollo – 6
