Wave your hands in the air, because ready or not, here they come again: Ms. Lauryn Hill and The Fugees are going back on a joint tour! The 21-date trek, announced on Monday (June 24), will mostly play in the United States before wrapping up with four dates overseas.
The tour — which reunites the eight-time Grammy winner with The Fugees to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Billboard 200 No. 1 album The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, kicks off Aug. 9 in Tampa, Fla., at the Midflorida Credit Union Ampitheatre before making its way around the states. It ends Oct. 22 at the Ziggo Dome in Amsterdam. The co-headlining tour will also feature music from The Fugees’ No. 1 album The Score, with Hill’s son YG Marley — whom she shares with Rohan Marley — as the support act.
Tickets for U.S. shows begin Tuesday (June 25) with a Citi presale, with sales beginning at 10 a.m. local time at LiveNation.com cardmembers. General onsale for stateside shows begin 10 a.m. local time on June 28. For European fans, presales begin June 26 also via Live Nation, with general onsale also beginning June 28 at 10 a.m. local.
According to the press release, $2 from each ticket sold will go to the MLH fund, which benefits organizations that provide resources for mental health issues, women’s wellness, small business development, education and more.
The Miseducation Anniversary Tour was previously postponed in November due to Hill experiencing vocal issues. “As many of you may know, I’ve been battling serious vocal strain for the past month. I made it through each show by taking prescribed prednisone, but this can be detrimental to the body when taken in large amounts over long periods of time,” she wrote on Instagram at the time. “In order to prevent any long term negative affect on my voice and my body, I need to take time off to allow for real vocal recovery so that I can discontinue the medication completely.”
“The shows that were cancelled this year will be rescheduled for early 2024 AND because of the overwhelming response, we’ll be adding new cities to the tour, including overseas,” she added at the time.
