]]>The Las Vegas residency titled Wu-Tang Clan: The Saga Continues… will take place at the Theater at Virgin Hotels over four dates. Wu-Tang Clan will kick off their Las Vegas adventure with the two concerts during the Super Bowl weekend on February 9/10, followed by two more dates on March 22/23, 2024.
The group’s leader RZA told The New York Times that they want to add to the hub of creativity in Las Vegas with their residency and show the world that hip-hop can go where any other art form has gone before.
“I’m in that spirit of loving where there’s a hub of art and then loving that I – in my talent and the Wu-Tang brothers – can add to that hub and of course eventually invite more hip-hop artists to come and play in this sandbox with us,” he explained.
2023 has been a pretty historic year for Wu-Tang Clan. They celebrated the 30th anniversary of their iconic debut album Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) and the New York City mayor even named November 9 the “Wu-Tang Clan Day” to mark the occasion.
