ONE of the biggest groups from the world of hip hop will be bringing some bling to the south next month.

The Wu-Tang Clan are set to play the O2 Academy Bournemouth on July 8, with tickets on sale now.

The gritty New Yorkers exploded onto the rap scene in 1993 with debut album, Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers).

Success continued throughout the 90s with a fashion label and offshoot albums from the many band members.

Following the sell out of Wu-Tang Clan’s 20th anniversary tour, the band returns to the UK with their recent album, A Better Tomorrow.

Support on the night comes from Southampton hip-hoppers Route2roots and Bournemouth’s very own Cosm.
