Ms. Lauryn Hill

To celebrate the 25th anniversary of her all-conquering, GRAMMY Award-winning debut album, Ms. Lauryn Hill has announced a twin-set of Australian arena dates.

Ms. Lauryn Hill said: “The Miseducation album has been a consistently special artwork that has allowed me to tour for 25 years, sharing the message and energy with its loyal appreciators. I’m not even sure if it feels like 25 years have gone by to me.

“I’m excited to celebrate this landmark anniversary with the fans in Australia, and I look forward to this time capsule experience. The music itself was born to be anachronistic, at the same time reclaiming precious jewels from the past, and infusing them with the potency and energy of the present, in order to enrich it and the future. Revisiting the album live has renewed my love and appreciation for the music and the period in which it was born, when hip hop was ripe with potential and uncomplicated enthusiasm.”

TEG Dainty will honour a quarter-century of The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill – a record cited as inspiration by the ilk of Kendrick Lamar, Beyoncé, Drake and Nicki Minaj – with two east coast headline shows.

Sampa The Great will perform for Melbourne fans at Ms. Lauryn Hill’s Rod Laver Arena show this coming Tuesday 3 October. Show Dem Camp will perform in Sydney at Qudos Bank Arena on Thursday October 5. Sampa The Great and Show Dem Camp will perform in place of Koffee.
