The Fugees achieved global acclaim and awards with the success of the Grammy Award-winning album, The Score. The group disbanded in 1997 so that the members could pursue solo careers. They reunited in 2004 and began touring for two years before officially disbanding.
The tour will kick off Wednesday (Sept. 22) with a pop-up show at an undisclosed location in New York City and will follow in 11 other cities. The rest of the tour will commence on November 2 in Chicago and will see the Fugees concluding in Africa with shows in Nigeria and Ghana. Tickets will go on sale to the general public beginning Friday, Sept 24.
