Wu-Tang Clan legend GZA (The Genius) brings his Celebrating 30 Years of Liquid Swords tour to Portland for a special performance honoring one of hip-hop’s most revered albums. Released in 1995, Liquid Swords is widely regarded as a classic of the golden era—known for its razor-sharp lyricism, cinematic production from RZA, and unforgettable tracks like “Duel of the Iron Mic,” “Cold World,” and the title track. 

Backed by the PHUNKY NOMADS, GZA will perform the album live along with selections from across his legendary catalog. The night also features local support from Cool Nutz, plus Mic Crenshaw with Mob Rule and DJ Crush. 

Don’t miss this chance to experience one of hip-hop’s most influential MCs celebrating a landmark album in an intimate setting at the Hawthorne Theatre.
