Ms. Lauryn Hill Announces Miseducation 25th Anniversary Tour
Ms. Lauryn Hill will embark on a 25th anniversary tour of Miseducation of Lauryn Hill this fall. The reunited Fugees will co-headline the North American dates, which include big shows at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center and Kia Forum in Los Angeles. (Pras is awaiting sentencing for federal crimes including conspiracy, witness tampering, and failing to register as an agent of China; no date has been set.) Check out all of Hill’s forthcoming dates, which also include Australian shows with Koffee, below.
In a press release, Hill says, “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.”
She continues, “I loved music, I loved people, I truly felt grateful to God for my life, and genuinely blessed to have a platform where I could share wisdom and perspective through music. I felt a charge to challenge the idea that certain kinds of expression and/or certain kinds of people didn’t belong in certain places. I loved showing what could work or happen provided there was imagination, creativity and LOVE leading the way.”
Fugees reunited last September and again this June at Roots Picnic. Back before the pandemic, Hill’s 20th anniversary tour of Miseducation was derailed by cancellations and postponements due to illness.
