Wu-Tang Clan marked the first ten years of their existence as the craziest, most influential, avant-garde and overall best band of the last decade according to NME in 2005. That description has remained the status quo to this day. The prestigious Rolling Stone called them the greatest rap group of all time, NME added that they changed hip-hop forever, and Billboard defined their importance with a simple phrase: Wu-Tang is forever.

They have released eight albums and sold over 40 million copies, creating a body of work that redefined hip-hop as a genre, exerting a powerful influence on legends such as Jay Z, Nas, Snoop Dogg, The Notorious B.I.G., Alicia Keys, Kanye West, as well as the new wave of stars such as Kendrick Lamar, A$AP Rocky, Rick Ross and many others.

Regular and VIP 4-day tickets are available through the festival’s official website.
