Lauryn Hill announces new tour dates with Fugees
Lauryn Hill has announced a new set of tour dates with the Fugees.
It comes after a run of dates of ‘The Miseducation Of Lauryn Hill’ were cancelled last November after the artist cited a “serious vocal strain for the past month”.
She has since returned to performing with a handful of shows across February, March and April of this year including a slot at Coachella.
Now, a new run of dates with the Fugees, including two shows in the UK at the Co-Op Live arena in Manchester and The O2 in London in October have been announced with tickets going on general sale for those concerts this Friday (June 28) at 10am BST. You can purchase tickets here.
Before that a pre-sale will also be held from 10am BST tomorrow (June 26) until 9am on Friday and tickets can be purchased here. You can view the full list of dates below.
The Celebration Continues…

The tour kicks off with a series of US dates in Tampa, Florida on August 9 before wrapping up in Amsterdam on October 22. Tickets for the US dates which can be purchased here, will also go on sale this Friday at 10am local time after a pre-sale also starting at 10am local time today (June 25).
The shows will see Hill perform tracks from her 1998 solo album and team up with the Fugees to perform tracks from their 1996 album ‘The Score’.
In January 2022, the Fugees cancelled their planned tour celebrating the 25th anniversary of the ‘The Score’. In a statement made to social media, they wrote: “The continued Covid pandemic has made touring conditions difficult, and we want to make sure we keep our fans and ourselves healthy and safe.”
In April 2022, Fugees member Pras Michel was convicted for his involvement in a billion-dollar money laundering scheme on 10 federal counts. Michel’s legal issues would later be found to be a major reason for the cancellation of the Fugees’ anniversary tour.
