View Date:2024-12-23 15:29:40
Wu-Tang Clan is heading to Las Vegas for its first-ever Sin City residency.
The Grammy-nominated hip-hop group made the announcement Tuesday on social media. Wu-Tang Clan: The Saga Continues… The Las Vegas Residency will take place Feb. 9-10, which is Super Bowl weekend, and during March Madness on March 22-23 at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas in Nevada.
"This residency is more than a concert – it serves as a tribute to their prolific careers as individuals and as the most storied group in hip-hop history," reads Virgin Hotels' press release.
Artist pre-sale for the shows (code: CREAM) started noon Tuesday on AXS' website. AEG and AXS pre-sales begin at 10 a.m. on Thursday. On Friday, general public tickets will become available at 10 a.m. PST.
The Staten Island-born group's leader, rapper and producer RZA, told The New York Times that the project has been in the works for around five years.
"Hip-hop is rich in its content and what it offers creatively to an audience," he said, adding that the nine-member group wants "to put it on flagpoles to show that hip-hop can go where any other art form has gone before."
He also hopes to "eventually invite more hip-hop artists to come and play in this sandbox with us," RZA said of performing in Las Vegas.
This year – which marks the 50th anniversary of hip-hop – Wu-Tang Clan performed with Nas in Australia, Europe and North American on the N.Y. State of Mind Tour. RZA, GZA, Method Man, Raekwon, Ghostface Killah, U-God, Masta Killa, Inspectah Deck, Cappadonna and Ol' Dirty Bastard (who died in 2004) founded the group in the early 1990s. They've been touring since "Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)" debuted in 1993.
Shania Twain will also begin another Las Vegas residency next year, starting May 10 at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino's Bakkt Theater.
R&B group New Edition's residency at Wynn Las Vegas kicks off Feb. 28. Garth Brooks' residency at Caesars Palace will re-commence in April.
