Wu-Tang Clan is scheduled to bring its “Wu-Tang Forever: The Final Chamber” tour to Northwell Health at Jones Beach Theater in Wantagh on Sunday, September 13.

Bone Thugs-N-Harmony will join the group as the special guest. The concert is scheduled to begin at 7:30 p.m.

The performance is part of Wu-Tang Clan’s continuing Final Chamber tour. It should not be described as the group’s final concert because the source does not make that claim.

Ticket availability appeared inconsistent between Live Nation and Ticketmaster when the event was reported. Readers should confirm current prices and availability through an official ticketing platform.
