Following the announcement that Wu-Block, which consists of members of both Wu-Tang Clan and D-Block respectively, would be performing the album in its entirety at this year’s New Jersey stop of the “Rock the Bells” tour during Labor Day weekend, dates and cities have been announced for a full trek across the United States.
The 22-date tour will kick off on August 1 at The Chance in Poughkeepsie, New York. The Wu-Block Tour will then hit cities like Philadelphia, New York, Atlanta, Austin and Las Vegas over the course of a month and a half, before coming to a close on September 14 at Upstate Concert Hall in Albany.
Although members of Wu-Block like Raekwon, Jadakiss, and Styles P. are expected to tour as well, only Ghostface and Sheek Louch have been announced as participating members, with more announcements expected in the near future.
The album, set to be released later this summer via eOne Music, is expected to feature a number of members from both camps, with primary contributions coming from Ghostface, Sheek Louch, Raekwon, and Styles P.
