On their 2023 world tour, N.Y. State of Mind, Hip-hop stars the Wu-Tang Clan and Nas will play 3Arena in Dublin
There is no stopping the Wu-Tang Clan right after finishing their 2022 N.Y. State of Mind Tour, which hit over 25 cities in North America and was nominated for Pollstar's 2022 Hip Hop Tour of the Year. Now, they're ready to do it all again.
This time though, it's a world tour that they're co-headlining with American rapper Nas.
The Wu-Tang Clan was founded in Staten Island, NYC in the early 1990s. The hip hop group hosts the musical artists RZA, GZA, Method Man, Raekwon, Ghostface Killah, U-God, Masta Killa, Inspectah Deck, Cappadonna, and the late Ol' Dirty Bastard (ODB).
Led by RZA, the Wu-Tang Clan fashions their music in a thematic mix, including classic funk, soul tracks, and inspiration from martial arts movies, including the one they took their name from.

The 3 platinum album group has just announced their 2023 N.Y. State of Mind Tour, produced by Live Nation, after last year's tour sold out. They'll start off the world tour in Auckland, New Zealand on Map 9th before travelling to Australia, then Europe, and finishing in North America.
The collection of hip hop artists has toured as a group since they released their debut album, although the artists also release music independently. Including both group albums, EPs, and individual work, they total more than 85 full-length releases.
Nas broke out onto the international scene in 1992 when his track 'Halftime' was found by MC Serch. He debuted his first album in 1994 after signing to Columbia Records.
More recently, his 2020 album King's Disease won the artist a GRAMMY. The sequel, King's Disease II, was released in August 2021, earning a nomination for the 64th GRAMMY Awards. The co-founder of Mass Appeal Records, he also released a surprise album Magic featuring A$AP Rocky and DJ Premier.
The tour has 32 scheduled dates, including a 3Arena Dublin date on June 9th.
