MS. LAURYN HILL & THE FUGEES ANNOUNCE THE MISEDUCATION ANNIVERSARY TOUR
5x Grammy winner and one of the most notable hip hop, R&B, and fashion/style icons of all time, Ms. Lauryn Hill is continuing where she left off – once again reuniting with The Fugees, to co-headline an extension of The Miseducation Anniversary Tour in honour of the landmark album that was just named the best album of all time by Apple Music. The tour which heads to The O2 on Monday 14 October, will feature music from The Miseducation of Ms. Lauryn Hill, The Score and more.
Priority Tickets are available to O2 and Virgin Media customers at https://priority.o2.co.uk/ from Wednesday 26 June at 10am and go on general sale at 10am on Friday 28 June. www.theo2.co.uk.
The Fugees will co-headline all dates and YG Marley will be joining as support.
The impact that The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill had on music, fashion, and American and world culture is immeasurable and continues to influence the world’s biggest artists. Entered into the Library of Congress in 2015, Ms. Hill and her Diamond-certified album achieved numerous firsts including being the first ever Hip-Hop album to receive an Album Of The Year Grammy Award, being the first woman to be nominated for 10 Grammy awards in one year and being the first woman to win 5 Grammys in one night.
“By finally accepting Hill’s ability to change, I realized that I had misread so much before. Here was an artist — once again, and on tour — rewriting the rules of hip-hop, and American popular music at large. She was not just teaching us how to hear “Miseducation” differently, but showing us what it looks like for a musician to truly evolve and redefine what we call a classic as something brand-new.” – THE NEW YORK TIMES
