Ms. Lauryn Hill will be making her way to Boston for the second time of 2016. Her first visit was for two fairly impromptu dates at the Paradise on Feb. 13 and 14, but now she will be headlining the Wang Theatre on Oct. 1st as part of her newly announced tour.
Hill announced the details of her late summer/early fall string of dates, which will be called the MLH Caravan: A Diaspora Calling. The concept tour, which is being presented by Tidal and Livenation, will revolve around the culture and arts of the African diaspora. It is based on the Diaspora Calling Festival that Hill held at Brooklyn’s Kings Theatre this past April, which featured the likes of Stephen “Ragga” Marley, Michael Montano (Trinidad), Stonebwoy (Ghana) and Mr. Eazi (Nigeria). Each date of the newly announced tour will feature special appearances from artists throughout the African diaspora, so one can expect some of the same names to be a part of the MLH Caravan.
Many have noted Hill’s erraticness during performances over the last few years, so it will be interesting to see what the new tour will bring. To find out for yourself, tickets for the Oct. 1 date at Wang Theatre go on sale this Friday, Aug. 5, at 10 am.
The tour is planned to kick off later this month in Philadelphia and will run till midway through November. Full line-ups and additional dates are expected to be announced in the coming weeks. Check out the dates below and video of Hill’s recent performance on ‘Austin City Limits.’
