SPILL LIVE REVIEW: WU-TANG CLAN @ RBC AMPHITHEATRE, TORONTO

WU-TANG CLAN

@ RBC AMPHITHEATRE, TORONTO

SEPTEMBER 8, 2026

Wu-Tang Clan are currently in the midst of their second North American leg of The Final Chamber Tour which comes ahead of their upcoming Netflix documentary, The Disciple: A Wu-Tang Fable. Originally launched last year and seemingly branded as a farewell tour, the veteran hip-hop innovators returned to Toronto, hitting up RBC Amphitheatre for a victory lap following last year’s triumphant date at Scotiabank Arena.

RZA walked out from the back catwalk, flanked by a full band and underneath a video screen in the shape of their iconic logo, greeting the packed Toronto audience with a rap that played off of Nancy Sinatra’ “Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down).” The drawn-out intro, accompanied with a swell from the band, added a level of suspense before the tension was broken with an explosive performance of “Bring Da Ruckus.” One by one, MCs emerged from backstage as needed to deliver their respective verses – first Ghostface Killah, then Raekwon, followed by Inspectah Deck, and finally GZA. The first, and strongest, act of their set consisted of some of the greatest tracks from Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) until the entire clan stood side by side on stage, flexing their full power over songs like “Da Mystery Of Chessboxin’,” “Wu-Tang Clan Ain’t Nuthing Ta F’ Wit,” and “Protect Ya Neck.” Method Man received thunderous applause from the audience upon his entrance in the latter half of this act, followed by a stellar performance of his titular solo track.

The second act of the show spotlighted some of the solo work from different members and configurations of The Clan, including a pair of Liquid Swords cuts from GZA, and a few songs from Method Man. While other dates, as well of last year’s Toronto set, featured a collection of songs performed by one of hip-hops greatest duos, Ghostface Killah and Raekwon, this was minimized to add a short set led by Havoc of Mobb Deep, as Ghost and Rae played hype-men to the legendary MC over a handful of Mobb Deep songs, including “Eye For An Eye (Your Beef Is Mines)”and “Shook Ones, Pt. II.” This was a truly special moment, unlikely to ever be repeated as the trio of legendary rapper spared across iconic verses. Similar to the start of the show, more rappers began to flank the stage when needed until The Clan was once again in full effect, closing out their performance with “C.R.E.A.M.” and “Triumph” – which saw a guest performance from Canadian comic, Russell Peters – ultimately closing out the night in grandeur fashion.

While I remain skeptical that The Final Chamber is in fact a farewell, Wu-Tang Clan continue to move with a level of momentum worthy of their legendary status. By building in moments for each member to shine, the flow, swagger, and grit remains intact. With Method Man, Raekwon, and Ghostface Killah leading The Clan, a special shoutout for Inspectah Deck feels absolutely necessary. As among the most understated MCs in the group, he is without a doubt among the best The Clan has to offer and his consistency and near constant presence on this tour is testament to that. All in all, The Final Chamber Tour continues to demonstrate the power of Wu-Tang’s most pivotal work and their greater legacy through a vibrant collection of affiliated solo material, making for a thrilling hip-hop experience.
