Ms. Lauryn Hill will hit the road soon — as in a matter of weeks.
The former Fugees singer has announced a late summer and early fall jaunt she’s dubbed, MLH Caravan: A Diaspora Calling!. Presented by Tidal and Live Nation, the run will include special guests by artists from throughout the African diaspora.
“The MLH Caravan allows me to continue the theme of unity and celebration of the many facets of cultural and artistic beauty throughout the African diaspora while on tour this summer and fall,” Hill writes in a press release. “In these days of tension, tumult and transition, an exchange of this kind can yield direction, expression, understanding and empowerment as well as connection, self Love and appreciation that hopefully overflows into our respective communities.”
The tour kicks off August 27th in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and wraps up in Phoenix, Arizona on November 13th. Consult the full itinerary below, in addition to the show poster.
Update — Tuesday, August 30th at 10:00 p.m. CT: The tour has been expanded with new dates, including gigs in New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Orlando, and Austin. Nas and Kehlani have also been announced for select shows.
