Lauryn Hill Extends 25th Anniversary Tour With New Dates
Ms. Lauryn Hill, renowned for her iconic album “The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill,” has added new dates to her 25th Anniversary Tour due to overwhelming demand, even before the tour has begun in North America.
Ms. Hill recently announced 10 additional stops across North America, expanding the tour’s reach to cities like Vancouver, San Francisco, Detroit, St. Louis, and Atlanta. Notably, all North American tour dates will be co-headlined by the legendary Fugees. Tickets for the newly added dates will be available for purchase starting this Friday (October 6) at 10 A.M. local time.
In a statement, Ms. Hill emphasized the significance of the tour and the enduring impact of both her album and the Fugees:
“I’ve almost felt compelled to carry a torch or to keep a light shining regarding the continual performance of the ‘Miseducation’ album,” she said. “I believe there’s been a reason for that—and the Fugees coming back together for performances too feels like unfinished business we’re destined to handle. The connections are real and uncanny, and the magic and synergy between us has not been deterred by time.”
She continued: “I believe the messages that we and the art we made embody something moving, meaningful, and important for us and for the world. We gave voice and image to possibilities that emblazoned so many musical directions after us. As we were inspired, we also inspired countless artists who have shown up to express themselves in this musical space.”
“Both the ‘Miseducation’ and the Fugees’ material challenged and expanded convention, by paying homage to the past, while richly embracing the present, and emblazoning the trail for the future. We represent not just ourselves but our influences and our peers who took art, culture, and inspiration very seriously—- who reshaped the landscape for ourselves and for those who would follow after us. I’m grateful to be able to celebrate this classic material and re-present it to an audience in this time.”
Ms. Lauryn Hill’s 25th Anniversary Tour promises to be a monumental celebration of her timeless music and the enduring legacy of the Fugees. Fans across North America are eagerly anticipating the opportunity to witness these legendary performances.

The trek is Lauryn Hill, Wyclef Jean and Pras Michel’s first tour as a group in years. The trio had initially planned to hit the road in 2021 in celebration of the 25th anniversary of their debut album The Score, but it was later cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
However, the New Jersey collective did reunite on stage at The Roots Picnic in Philadelphia this past June.
