SAN DIEGO — Will the second time be the charm for Lauryn Hill and The Fugees, whose 2023 “The Miseducation Anniversary Tour” was cut short because of what she described at the time as “serious vocal strain?”

On Monday, Hill and The Fugees announced their 2024 “The Celebration Continues Tour.” It will include a Sept. 15 San Diego concert at North Island Credit Union Amphitheatre that will be bookended by a Sept. 13 show in Mountain View at Shoreline Amphitheatre and a Sept. 17 show in Los Angeles at the Hollywood Bowl.

The 2024 tour is a combination of dates that were rescheduled from last year and newly announced performances. The 2023 tour has been timed to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the release of Hill’s 1998 debut solo album, “The Miseducation of Ms. Lauryn Hill,” which sold more than 10 million copies in the U.S. alone and made Hill the first hip-hop artist in Grammy Awards’ history to win Album Of The Year honors.

The new tour is being co-headlined by The Fugees, the New Jersey hip-hop, funk and reggae trio that was formed in 1990 by Hill, now 49, Wyclef Jean, now 54, and Pras Michel, now 51. The Grammy-winning group’s members initially parted ways in 1996 to work on solo projects. A number of mostly fleeting reunions followed.

The opening act for this year’s tour will be Hill’s son, YG Marley. An announcement of “special guests” is pending.

Tickets will go on sale to the general public at 10 a.m. local time Friday at livenation.com and ticketmaster.com

 

A pre-sale for Citi card holders will begin Tuesday at 10 a.m. local time through the Citi Entertainment program. Three other pre-sales will follow: an artist pre-sale Wednesday at 10 a.m. local time; a Live Nation/Ticketmaster pre-sale Thursday at 10 a.m. local time; and a venue and Spotify pre-sale Thursday at 10 a.m. local time.

Ticket prices for the San Diego concert range from $39.50 to $199.50, plus service fees. Two dollars from each ticket sold will go to the MLH Fund, which will benefit various local and worldwide organizations benefiting initiatives concerning mental health, women’s wellness, community small business development, education and more
