The tour marks the anniversary of three iconic albums; Wu-Tang Clan’s Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers), Public Enemy’s It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back and De La Soul’s 3 Feet High and Rising. 

Headliners Wu-Tang Clan changed the landscape of hip-hop 25 years ago with the release of their debut album Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers). Featuring innovative beats and clever lyrics delivered by the nine-member collective, the record is widely considered to be one of the most influential and important hip-hop releases of the ’90s.

Public Enemy will be celebrating the 30th anniversary of the album It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back at the newly announced shows. The album, which includes the singles Don’t Believe the Hype and Bring the Noise has been hailed as a hip-hop masterpiece and has sold over 1 million copies.
