Lauryn Hill and the Fugees drop fresh fall tour dates celebrating her iconic 1998 solo hit The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill and their killer album from ’96, The Score.
Taking to Instagram on Monday (June 24), rapper and singer-songwriter exclaimed that the “celebration” will continue, with tickets on sale as early as mid-week.
The 21-date tour with special guest YG Marley, are hitting Atlanta, Philly, LA, and jet-setting to Paris and Amsterdam, among other big cities. The tour starts rocking in August (perfect for a summer jam) and wraps up with a bang in late fall, finishing in October.
The announcement sparked a mixed reaction, with some humorously referencing Hill’s well-known reputation for arriving fashionably late to her performances.
“listen, We coming……. but are you??? don’t piss us off chile! ,” wrote one user.
“If yall buy these tickets I don’t wanna hear one complaint when she cancels lol,” another commented.
Check out the tour announcement below.
It’s important to note that $2 from each ticket sold will benefit the MLH Fund, supporting various local and global initiatives including mental health, women’s wellness, community small business development, education, and more across the diaspora, according to Variety.
In April, YG graced the stage, and after about 15 minutes, his mother made a surprise appearance, belting out some of her solo hits before inviting Wyclef to join for a nostalgic Fugees medley.
The setlist was a throwback delight, featuring classics like “Ex-Factor,” “Lost Ones,” “Killing Me Softly,” “Ready or Not,” and “Fu-Gee-La,” with YG impressively stepping in for Pras on “Ready or Not.”
As the performance unfolded, Busta Rhymes and Spliff Star joined the stage, adding to the nostalgia as Bus-A-Bus ran through fan favorites including “Put Your Hand Where My Eyes Could See” and his verse from Chris Brown’s “Look At Me Now.”
