Lauryn Hill Unveils ‘Miseducation of Lauryn Hill’ 25th Anniversary Tour Dates — Fugees to Open U.S. Shows
variety.comJem Aswad Executive Editor, Music Five-time Grammy winner Lauryn Hill has announced a 25th anniversary tour for her iconic debut solo album, 1998’s “Miseducation of Lauryn Hill.” Hill’s former group the Fugees, who abruptly canceled a planned 25th anniversary tour around their multiplatinum album “The Score“ album last year, will open the America dates, presumably because of member Pras Michel’s legal challenges.
The 17 date tour will hit arenas around the world, including Brooklyn’s Barclays, Chicago’s United Center, The Kia Forum in Los Angeles as well as in Australia, New Zealand, and more (full dates below).
The Fugees will reunite for their first tour in years to co-headline the tour on all US and Canadian dates. With its pioneering fusion of R&B, hip-hop and pop, “Miseducation” was one of the most influential albums of the 1990s.
Entered into the Library of Congress in 2015, it was the first hip-hop album to receive an Album Of The Year Grammy Award, and made Hill first woman to be nominated for 10 Grammy awards in one year and the first woman to win 5 Grammys in one night.
