Wu-Tang Clan and Nas bring their co-headline tour to Ireland and the UK. Coming to Glasgow’s OVO Hydro on 12th June 2023.

Considered by many to be the greatest hip-hop group of all time, Wu-Tang Clan have been touring as a unit since their debut record –  Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)  – came out in 1993. The now triple-platinum release vaulted the New York City group with songs like ‘C.R.E.A.M. (Cash Rules Everything Around Me)’ and ‘Protect Ya Neck’ that are about as recognisable as anything in the rap canon. Their live sets are a family affair, with every member of the crew representing their lyrical contributions to the Wu’s eight studio albums, as well as notable cuts from the Wu-Tang solo discography.

With the omnipresent Wu-Tang “W” flanking all angles of the stage, there’s a familiarity to Wu-Tang Clan’s music that gives their shows unique mass appeal. Whether they’re delivering the  36 Chambers  record front to back on the album’s 25th Anniversary Tour, or tracks from GZA’s seminal  Liquid Swords  and Raekwon’s mafioso-minded  Only Built 4 Cuban Linx… , or honoring the legacy of their departed brother, Ol’ Dirty Bastard, every Wu-Tang Clan show is a celebration of prolific careers as individuals and especially as the most storied group in hip-hop history.

Founded in the early 90s

Founded in New York City’s Staten Island in the early 1990s, the Wu-Tang Clan is comprised of members RZA, GZA, Method Man, Raekwon, Ghostface Killah, U-God, Masta Killa, Inspectah Deck, Cappadonna, and the deceased Ol’ Dirty Bastard (ODB). Their name is a reference to a 1983 martial arts film. Led by the production of RZA, samples from martial arts films have thematically appeared throughout the group’s music, as have samples of classic funk and soul tracks from artists like Rick James, James Brown, and Syl Johnson. As a group, Wu-Tang Clan have three platinum albums among their eight LPs, and the group’s complete anthology (including solo albums) has more than 85 full-length releases. More than just rappers, Wu-Tang Clan are entrepreneurs and successful cultural influencers, with an empire that features everything from clothing lines and video games to books and acting credits.

In February 2023, Wu-Tang Clan and Nas announced the co-headline run of their  N.Y. State of Mind  tour, which will reach Dublin, Glasgow and London in June 2023.

Hip Hop fans in Glasgow are in for yet another special gig after Snoop Dogg confirmed he'd be celebrating his 25-year career with extra special guests at his show in the city, after not one but two more legendary acts confirmed they'd also be playing here this year.

That's right, Wu-Tang Clan and Nas have announced a 2023 co-headline run of their N.Y. State of Mind Tour, which will be touring Europe later this year, with one of only two UK dates set for Glasgow in June.

The 2023 tour comes on the heels of the sold-out 2022 N.Y. State of Mind Tour run that hit over 25 cities last year, including an iconic show at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles.

Now, both Wu-Tang and Nas have confirmed they'll play at the OVO Hydro on Monday, June 12.

Wu-Tang Clan and Nas coming to Glasgow - how to get tickets

The hip-hop acts are joining forces for their NY State of Mind global tour in 2023.

Share this story

Wu-Tang Clan and Nas are coming to Glasgow on a co-headlining world tour in 2023.

The hip-hop collective and rapper are teaming up for their NY State of Mind trek across Europe, New Zealand, Australia and North America.

They recently toured together across North America in the late summer and early autumn of 2022 under the same banner – performing in more than 25 cities.

The tour – including a show at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles – was also recently nominated for Pollstar’s 2022 Hip Hop Tour of The Year.

When are they coming to Scotland?

Nas and Wu-Tang head to Glasgow’s OVO Hydro on Monday, June 12.

What are their latest works?

Nas released his latest album King’s Disease III in November. Wu-Tang launched A Better Tomorrow in 2014, with a controversial single-edition Once Upon A Time in Shaolin a year later – the most expensive work of music ever sold.

Wu Tang’s Scottish connection

The Wu-Tang Clan also boast a Scottish link; the group have been friends with Texas for more than two decades.

The relationship dates back to the late 1990s, when they met the Scots alt-rockers in famed Quad Studios in New York.

Both camps worked together on releasing joint single Say What You Want (All Day Every Day), which Sharleen Spiteri and Method Man performed live at London’s 1998 Brit Awards.

The bands remained friendly in the intervening years, with members reuniting for track Hi in December 2020, the lead single from Texas’ tenth album of the same name.

When and where can I buy tickets?

The first batch of tickets for the European leg of NY State of Mind tour began with an artist pre-sale on Tuesday, February 28 at 9am.

Additional pre-sales will be available throughout the week before the general sale starts on March 3 at 9am at livenation.co.uk and ticketmaster.co.uk .

Tickets for the Hydro date will be priced between £58.45 and £98.20, including the admin fee.

About Wu-Tang Clan

Founded in New York City’s Staten Island in the early 1990s, the Wu-Tang Clan is comprised of members RZA, GZA, Method Man, Raekwon, Ghostface Killah, U-God, Masta Killa, Inspectah Deck, Cappadonna, and the deceased Ol’ Dirty Bastard (ODB). Their name is a reference to a 1983 martial arts film. 

Led by the production of RZA, samples from martial arts films have thematically appeared throughout the group’s music, as have samples of classic funk and soul tracks from artists like Rick James, James Brown, and Syl Johnson. As a group, Wu-Tang Clan have three platinum albums among their eight LPs, and the group’s complete anthology (including solo albums) has more than 85 full-length releases. More than just rappers, Wu-Tang Clan are entrepreneurs and successful cultural influencers, with an empire that features everything from clothing lines and video games to books and acting credits.

Wu-Tang Clan on Tour Considered by many to be the greatest hip-hop group of all time, Wu-Tang Clan have been touring as a unit since their debut record — Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) — came out in 1993. The now triple-platinum release vaulted the New York City group with songs like “C.R.E.A.M.” (Cash Rules Everything Around Me) and “Protect Ya Neck” that are about as recognizable as anything in the rap canon. 

Their live sets are a family affair, with every member of the crew representing their lyrical contributions to the Wu’s eight studio albums, as well as notable cuts from the Wu-Tang solo discography. With the omnipresent Wu-Tang “W” flanking all angles of the stage, there’s a familiarity to Wu-Tang Clan’s music that gives their shows unique mass appeal. 

Whether they’re delivering the 36 Chambers record front to back on the album’s 25th Anniversary Tour, or tracks from GZA’s seminal Liquid Swords and Raekwon’s mafioso-minded Only Built 4 Cuban Linx…, or honoring the legacy of their departed brother, Ol’ Dirty Bastard, every Wu-Tang Clan show is a celebration of prolific careers as individuals and especially as the most storied group in hip-hop history.
