Lauryn Hill is looking to take The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill on the road next year to commemorate its 25th anniversary.
During her headlining performance at ONE Musicfest in Atlanta, Georgia on Saturday (October 8), the Fugees legend hinted at going on tour in 2023 to perform her debut album in its entirety.
“25 years on, so we gonna be back with those songs the way you can recognize them, aye?” she said in part while draped in a zebra-print outfit and black netted fedora.
Lauryn Hill’s announcement was met with screams of excitement from the crowd, who were treated to live renditions of numerous tracks from the album.
Released on August 25, 1998 — two and a half years after the Fugees’ breakthrough album The Score — The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill was a critical and commercial success, and remains a widely beloved and influential album to this day.
Featuring hits like “Doo Wop (That Thing),” “Ex-Factor” and “Everything Is Everything,” the project debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with over 422,000 copies sold in its first week. It enjoyed a historic night at the 1999 Grammys, where Lauryn Hill became the first Hip Hop act to win the coveted Album of the Year award.
The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill was certified diamond by the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America) in February 2021 and remains the highest-selling female rap album in history with over 20 million sales worldwide.

Elsewhere during her ONE Musicfest set, Lauryn Hill shared a touching moment on stage with her son, Zion, and her two young grandchildren while performing “To Zion,” which was dedicated to her son.
“This is my grandson, Zephaniah. This is my granddaughter, Azaria. This is my son, Zion,” Hill told the crowd before embracing her grown-up son. “That was beautiful. Thank you Zion, I needed that hug. He’s a dad!”
Ms. Always late. I pass
You can leave your place an hour after her concert start time and you’ll still be early…..
She’ll be that late that it’s gonna be the 26th anniversary by then. Mark my words
Doesn’t she already perform it in its entirety, since that’s her only album (aside from her Fugees shit)? How the hell does she tour, anyway?!!
A PART OF ME WANTS TO GO, AND ANOTHER PART OF ME WANTS A REFUND.
Wow, this is fucking stupid. She has one fucking album in 25 years! Fuck her and fuck this concert.
CONCERT WILL BE A FUCKING WASTE. ALWAYS LATE, OFF KEY, AND WEIRD. LAURYN HILL IN A BUT SHELL.
1 album in 25 years? Go tf away or make some new music already. She’s a literal flash in the pan one hit wonder, and she’s considered a legend? Mc Hammer and Game have more classics than she does LMFAO and nobody calls them Legends (even though they actually are)
The problem is she still living off that album. She ain’t created another album to boost her catalogue. She’s a good artist but seems to lack creativity on a regular basis.
This woman is 2-3 hours late to all of her shows and cancels over 75 percent of them. She starts crying on stage about how she doesn’t need a man (Wyclef made her), throws tantrums and quits mid set. Highly unprofessional. You’re a MORON if you buy a ticket to any show expecting to see her. You’ve been warned.
fact, she’s crazy, but best female rapper ever, imo.
Tour about to be cancelled in 5..4..3..2..
