Legendary hip-hop group Wu-Tang Clan is gearing up to bring their iconic sound to Las Vegas with the announcement of their residency, ‘Wu-Tang Clan: The Saga Continues … The Las Vegas Residency.’ The New York legends revealed the first four dates, with performances scheduled at the Theater at Virgin Hotels on February 9–10, coinciding with the city’s inaugural Super Bowl weekend, and March 22–23, during the bustling March Madness period.
The announcement marks a significant milestone for Wu-Tang Clan, with founding member RZA expressing that this residency has been five years in the making. In an interview with the New York Times, RZA spoke about the evolution of hip-hop as an art form and the group’s mission to showcase its creative richness to a broader audience.
“Hip-hop is rich in its content and what it offers creatively to an audience,” said RZA. “I think the art form has evolved. We’re on a quest to put it on flagpoles to show that hip-hop can go where any other art form has gone before, and eventually invite more hip-hop artists to come and play in this sandbox with us.”
More dates for the Las Vegas residency are expected to be announced soon, and tickets will go on sale this Friday, December 15.
