The coming summer seems intent on emptying our wallets, with yet another unmissable tour announced. In January, Wu-Tang wordsmith and icon in his own right GZA will be back for a couple of special shows for Sydney and Melbourne heads. GZA is set to perform his landmark album Liquid Swords in full, and we’re sure there’ll be more surprises in the set-list.

Luckily for us, both shows come with a heavyweight supporting cast: Pharoahe Monch, Jean Grae and Rahzel (with seasoned offsider JS-1 on the decks). Yep, sounds like a show. Make sure you’re still standing after the New Year’s celebrations to make the most of this one.

Thursday 5 Jan – The Espy, Melbourne
Saturday 7 Jan – The Metro Theatre, Sydney
