Lauryn Hill brings tour to South Africa
The Grammy award-winning artist will kick off the European leg of The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill 20th Anniversary Tour in Brussels
Lauryn Hill has announced the addition of a South African date to her World Tour, celebrating 20 years since her anthemic debut solo album, The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill.
The Grammy award-winning artist will kick off the European leg of The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill 20th Anniversary Tour in Brussels on November 18 before continuing through France, the UK, Ireland, Holland, Denmark and Sweden, before culminating the European leg of the tour in Norway on December 11.
She will perform in Johannesburg on February 2 at the Ticketpro Dome. Of the tour, Hill notes: “This album chronicled an intimate piece of my young existence.
“It was the summation of most, if not all, of my most hopeful and positive emotions experienced to that date.
“I loved and believed deeply in my community’s ability to both love and heal itself provided it received the right amount of support and encouragement.”
She adds: “Our world today, both complex and changing, is in need of the balance between moral fortitude and cathartic expression.

Singles including Doo Wop (That Thing) and Everything Is Everything catapulted her to superstardom, ultimately lauding her with 10 Grammy nominations and five Grammy awards.
She will be joined by guest Nas who has released eight consecutive platinum and multi-platinum albums and has sold over 30 million records worldwide.
