The iconic Ms. Lauryn Hill is set to embark on an extraordinary 25th-anniversary tour of her groundbreaking album, The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, this fall. Fans and music enthusiasts are in for a treat as the tour promises to be a memorable journey through the timeless masterpieces that defined an era.
Adding to the excitement, the recently reunited Fugees will co-headline the North American concerts of the tour, marking a remarkable moment for fans of both artists. The tour will feature grand performances at prestigious venues like Brooklyn's Barclays Center and the Kia Forum in Inglewood, California.
The Fugees, known for their groundbreaking hip-hop and R&B fusion, reunited last September and recently graced the stage again in June 2023, at Roots Picnic, setting the stage for their upcoming collaboration with Ms. Lauryn Hill.
In a heartfelt press release, Ms. Lauryn Hill expressed her deep connection to The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, stating:
“The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill is and was a love song to my parents, my family, my people, my musical and cultural forebears, my teachers, my loves, my Creator. I wrote love songs and protest songs—(still love songs) about the subjects and interests that inspired and moved me. I was confident that what inspired me would resonate with an audience that had been led to believe that songs of that kind could only live in the past.”
A Live Nation pre-sale for the newly announced November shows will take place on Thursday, October 5, while a public sale will begin on Friday, October 6 via Ticketmaster.
