Lauryn Hill Extends Tour with The Fugees and YG Marley
Lauryn Hill is once again hitting the road with The Fugees and will be joined by her son, YG Marley, for the upcoming “The Celebration Continues Tour.” This tour extends the celebration of the 25th anniversary of Hill’s iconic album, The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, which began last year.
Hill announced the tour on Instagram on Monday, June 24, revealing that the 22-date trek will kick off on August 9 in Tampa, Florida. The tour will cover various cities across the United States before heading to Europe in October, where it will wrap up in Amsterdam.
Pre-sale tickets will be available starting Wednesday, June 26 at 10 a.m., with general admission tickets going on sale on Friday, June 28 at the same time.
Fans attending Coachella this year got a taste of what to expect from the tour. Hill made a surprise appearance during YG Marley’s set, performing several of her solo hits and Fugees classics alongside Wyclef Jean. Songs like “Ex-Factor,” “Lost Ones,” “Killing Me Softly,” “Ready or Not,” and “Fu-Gee-La” were part of the setlist, with YG Marley filling in for Pras on “Ready or Not.” The performance also featured guest appearances by Busta Rhymes and Spliff Star.
In other exciting news, The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill was recently inducted into the 2024 Grammy Hall of Fame, alongside De La Soul’s 3 Feet High and Rising and other notable recordings. Recording Academy CEO Harvey Mason Jr. celebrated the induction, stating, “The music showcased here has played a pivotal role in shaping our cultural landscape, and it’s a true honour to recognize these albums and recordings, along with the profound influence each has had on music and beyond.”
