Ready or not, here Lauryn Hill comes.
Following an electric performance at New York’s Global Citizen Festival, the evasive Hip-Hop icon is taking off on her 25-concert ‘The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill 25th Anniversary Tour’ with special guest Fugees coming along for the ride.
That includes big gigs at Hill’s home state Newark, NJ’s Prudential Center on Tuesday, Oct. 17 as well as Brooklyn’s Barclays Center on Thursday, Oct. 19.
At all shows, Hill will be paying homage to her album that netted her five (!) Grammy Awards in 1999.
“I grew up loving music, particularly the music that was commonly referred to as ‘oldies’ or ‘golden oldies’, ‘classics,’” Hill shared on Instagram. This constituted the Doo Wop, Gospel-inspired Soul music, and rock classics that my parents grew up on.”
“To me, these records were new despite being vintage. They were topical, melodically sophisticated and romantic. They incited joy and tenderness but often introspection and inspiration to action.”
And if you want to hear “Everything Is Everything,” Doo Wop (That Thing),” “I Used To Love Him” and the Fugees timeless cover “Killing Me Softly With His Song” live, you can still grab last-minute tickets for all shows now.
At the time of publication, the lowest price we could find on seats was $45 before fees on Vivid Seats.
Other shows start in the $60 to $110 neighborhood before fees.

Global Citizen Festival
On a rainy Saturday, Hill performed at Central Park’s Global Citizen Festival along with Red Hot Chili Peppers and a number of other stars.
“From a blistering “Lost Ones” to an epic “Ex Factor,” she schooled the masses on her “Miseducation” legacy before ending her solo set by turning “Doo Wop (That Thing)” into a joyous jam in the rain,” the New York Post’s Chuck Arnold wrote.

Fugees
At all U.S. concerts, Wyclef Jean and Pras Michel will co-headline with Hill.
According to Variety, it’s likely they won’t be touring internationally “presumably because of member Pras Michel’s legal challenges stemming from his recent conviction on international conspiracy charges.”
In September 2021, the South Orange, NJ natives announced a 25th anniversary tour celebrating their album “The Score” but canceled a few months later due to COVID concerns.
