Iconic hip-hop group Fugees will be heading on tour this fall for the first time in 25 years. Lauryn Hill, Wyclef Jean, and Pras Michel will reunite for the 25th anniversary of their breakthrough 1996 album “The Score.” It will mark the trio’s first shows together in 15 years.
The 12-city tour will hit Chicago, Oakland, LA, Atlanta, Miami, Newark, and D.C. There’s also four international stops in Paris, London, Ghana, and Nigeria. The Fugees Reunion Tour kicks off this Wednesday in New York with a show at a currently undisclosed location. The NY show is in support of Global Citizen Live, “a global broadcasting event calling on world leaders to defend the planet and defeat poverty.” Additionally, Fugees charity fund is partnering with Global Citizen to work on various philanthropic initiatives throughout the tour.
In accordance with the announcement, Ms. Lauryn Hill noted “The Fugees have a complex but impactful history… I decided to honor this significant project, its anniversary, and the fans who appreciated the music by creating a peaceful platform where we could unite, perform the music we loved, and set an example of reconciliation for the world.”
Following their debut in the early 1990’s, the Fugees were together for five years and two albums before splintering due to legal trouble, internal rifts, and solo endeavors. The trio had a brief reunion in 2005 before conclusively separating in 2006.
