Wu-Tang Clan have announced the start of their final tour “Wu-Tang Forever: The Final Chamber”, with dates in North America and support from Run The Jewels set for the summer.
The crew announced the news on social media today (February 24), and included a list of dates for June and July 2025 in cities such as Austin, Tampa, Boston, Chicago, Detroit and New York. Run The Jewels will join the tour for all of the announced dates.
All surviving members – RZA, GZA, Raekwon, Ghostface Killah, Method Man, Inspectah Deck, U-God and Masta Killa – are set to be at “Wu-Tang Forever: The Final Chamber”.
According to the New York Times, the tour is the culmination of a five-plus-year plan of legacy-building for the group. RZA recently went on the podcast Popcast to chat about getting the crew back together.
“There’s so many places we really haven’t been,” he said. “We had some successful touring, right? But not at the level of what the brand is.”

In other Wu-Tang Clan-related news, the group announced a new album ‘Black Samson, The Bastard Swordsman’, to be released for Record Store Day 2025.
This will be the crew’s first full-length album since 2017’s The Saga Continues. A limited edition run of 5000 copies of the new record will be available in participating Record Store Day retailers.
It sees Wu-Tang reunite with producer Mathematics, who has been associated with the group since their earliest days, and includes contributions from all nine surviving Wu-Tang members, as well as Kool G Rap, Kurupt and Benny The Butcher.
Last year, the crew’s album ‘Once Upon A Time In Shaolin’ was turned into an NFT. In the press statement, ‘Once Upon A Time in Shaolin’ producers RZA and Cilvaringz said: “Mass replication has fundamentally changed the way we view a piece of recorded music, while digital universality and vanishing physicality have broken our emotional bond with a piece of music as an artwork and a deeply personal treasure.”
Fontaines D.C. have teamed up with Rosalía for their new collaboration, Where Is Gone?.
The song features on the Irish rock band's forthcoming album, Dopamine Chamber, which arrives on Friday (16.10.26). For guitarist Carlos O’Connell, working with the Spanish superstar is particularly special because of his own Spanish roots.
He explained: “I’ve admired Rosalía ever since her debut album, which I thought was absolutely beautiful.
“What excited me most was the way she continued to preserve Spain's musical traditions, something that felt spiritually connected to what we've been trying to achieve with Irish music. Having roots in both countries, it's been really special to witness. "She's an artist who has continued to amaze me at every point in her career.”
Frontman Grian Chatten has also described the collaboration with Rosalía as one of the most memorable achievements of his career.
He revealed that he felt "humbled" when she agreed to lend her voice to the band's album.
Speaking to NPR, Grian said: “I've always felt there's something almost like a single big idea that I'm personally trying to communicate to the world before I get old and die, if that makes sense. There's one thing I think I'll spend my life trying to express. I have a feeling she has a similar outlook. … I mean, she's an amazing arranger, composer and lyricist. It means so much that she wanted to sing on something we'd put together. It's definitely one of the highlights of my career.”
Rosalía's links to Irish rock music extend beyond Fontaines D.C. She also offered inspiration and helped develop the Spanish lyrics for U2's The Mirror Maker (Rosalía), a track from their forthcoming album, Carnaval de Luz.
During an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon last week, she spoke about frontman Bono, saying: “I don't know him personally, but he sent me a text explaining that he was working on a new project and had written a song called The Mirror Maker."
Rosalía joked that Bono had invented a few words of his own.
She recalled telling him: “I wasn't sure what to make of it, but I told him he could create his own language if he wanted to.”
She described the opportunity to collaborate with the 66 year old music veteran as a real privilege.
She added: “Bono is a legend.
“It's amazing.”
Bono recently revealed that he was worried about seeming like a stalker when he reached out to Rosalía to ask whether he could name the song after her.
