Lauryn Hill and the Fugees have confirmed that their much-anticipated Europe and UK tour will go ahead as planned later this year, despite the recent cancellation of their North American tour. The news left many fans worried, especially when the North American dates were canceled just three days before the tour was set to begin, with no immediate explanation provided.
Yesterday, Hill took to social media to address the situation and reassure fans. In an Instagram post, she made it clear that the shows in the UK and Europe are still on, stating, “The shows in the UK and Europe ARE MOVING FORWARD as planned.” This confirmation comes on the heels of the group announcing additional shows for their European tour just last week.

Hill also shed some light on the decision to cancel the North American leg of the tour. She revealed that the cancellation was partly due to an injury she sustained last year, which had already caused some shows to be rescheduled. However, she also pointed to the role of the media in affecting ticket sales, saying, “Regrettably, some media outlet’s penchant for sensationalism and clickbait headlines have seemingly created a narrative that has affected ticket sales for the North American portion of the tour. The trust and faith I have in my intentions and my commitment to my art seem to have been overshadowed by this unfortunate portrayal.”
Despite the disappointment for North American fans, Hill ended her message on a hopeful note, promising that they will be “back in full force” once these unforeseen circumstances are resolved.
For now, European and UK fans can look forward to the tour as planned, with Hill and the Fugees ready to bring their iconic sound to stages across the continent.
