#Wu-Tang Clan announce Las Vegas residency

Wu-Tang Clan are heading to Las Vegas for a live residency starting on Super Bowl weekend next year. The group will bring their “The Saga Continues… The Las Vegas Residency” to the Theater at Virgin Hotels starting on February 9-10. They will then return the following month (March 22-23) with the New York Times reporting that further dates will be announced at a later date.

In an interview with the Times, RZA said he aims to show that rap and hip-hop have a place in Vegas alongside current resident artists such as Adele, U2, and Kylie Minogue.

“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 said.

Super Bowl LVIII will take place at Las Vegas’ Allegiant Stadium on February 11. Usher is confirmed to be the Half-Time headliner.

Wu-Tang Clan recently finished a co-headlining tour with Nas. They also celebrated 30 years of Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers), with New York declaring November 9 as “Wu-Tang Day.”
