Wu-Tang Clan Unveil Two Epic Australian Headline Dates

Staff Writer

The hip hop outfit will perform their classic debut album in full.

More Wu-Tang Clan Wu-Tang Clan

After teasing Australian fans with mysterious flyers around Sydney and cryptic social media posts in recent days, legendary US hip hop group Wu-Tang Clan have confirmed two epic shows at Sydney Opera House for this December.

The dates at the iconic venue will be their only Australian shows and will see them performing their debut LP, Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers), in full to celebrate its 25th anniversary.

All nine members will make the trip, including RZA, Method Man, Ghostface Killah, Raekwon, U-God, Masta Killa, Inspectah Deck, GZA and Cappadonna, to deliver seminal hits such as C.R.E.A.M., Protect Ya Neck, Can It Be All So Simple and more.

The Music described the group’s 2016 Sydney show as “a nice reminder of the unifying effect of hip hop music”.

"Over 25 years ago and coming from what seemed like nowhere, Wu-Tang Clan stepped from the shadows of Staten Island to run 10,000 volts of mesmerising weirdness through the body of hip hop, changing it forever," Sydney Opera House Head of Contemporary Music, Ben Marshall, said.

"Their undisputed heavyweight masterpiece Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) fused rap’s storytelling and tales of crime to a mysterious private language assembled from kung-fu movies, superhero comics, underground soul and an obscure philosophy derived from the Five Percent Nation movement.

"The seismic power of this dread record is still being felt today so it is only appropriate we usher Wu-Tang Clan’s mystical Shaolin to the stage with all original remaining members performing this record exclusively at Sydney Opera House this summer."

Tickets go on sale this Thursday via the Sydney Opera House website and you can find more details in theGuide.
