Wu-Tang Clan in Hartford

Wu-Tang Clan is an American hip-hop group formed in Staten Island, New York, in 1992. Their 1993 debut, Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers), introduced a raw, sample-heavy sound through tracks including “Protect Ya Neck” and “C.R.E.A.M.” The wider Wu-Tang catalogue includes GZA’s Liquid Swords and Raekwon’s Only Built 4 Cuban Linx..., solo albums closely tied to RZA’s production. At the 2004 Rock the Bells festival in San Bernardino, Wu-Tang Clan brought its full nine-member lineup together; the concert was Ol’ Dirty Bastard’s final performance with the group. In 2022, the group and Nas launched the N.Y. State of Mind Tour, which returned the following year and included De La Soul. In 2024, they began Wu-Tang Clan: The Saga Continues... The Las Vegas Residency at The Theater at Virgin Hotels. The group has travelled far beyond its home city to play England’s Glastonbury Festival and Australia’s Sydney Opera House.
