Lauryn Hill Announces Spring Tour Dates, Joins Twitter Ms. Lauryn Hill is ready for round two. Following a winter series of dates, the former Fugee is kicking off the second leg of her comeback tour “Moving Target: Extended Playdate Series,” a 12-date trek around the United States. The jaunt kicks off at Orlando’s House of Blues on March 16, making pit stops at Miami’s Jazz in the Garden Festival, the Coachella Music and Arts Festival, Los Angeles’ Club Nokia, and Atlanta’s Center Stage. The Grammy winner will wrap her spring journey on May 7 at New Orleans’ Jazz and Heritage Festival. Ms. Hill explained that playing more intimate venues is intended to give fans a unique experience. “One of the benefits of playing venues smaller than the ones I’m used to allows me the opportunity to not only reconnect with my supporters but to expose them to a portion of the musical journey I’ve been on which the world for the most part has not had access to,” she said. “It’s an exciting and REAL process which these audiences will get to witness.” She has launched a Twitter account @mshillmvngtrgt to provide news, highlights, and updates for the “Moving Target Series,” as well as a place for her to communicate directly with her fans. Find out when you can catch the elusive singer in a city near you. Lauryn Hill’s “Moving Target: Extended Playdate Series” Tour Dates 3/16 – Orlando, FL – House of Blues 3/19 – Miami, FL – Jazz in the Gardens Festival 3/23 – Tampa, FL – The Ritz 3/26 – Myrtle Beach, SC – House of Blues 3/30 – Atlanta, GA – Center Stage 4/3 – Oahu, HI – Aloha Tower 4/9 – Portland, OR – Arlene Schnitzer Hall 4/12 – San Francisco, CA – The Warfield 4/15 – Indio, CA – Coachella Music and Arts Festival 4/18 – Los Angeles, CA – Club Nokia 4/23 – Denver, CO – The Fillmore 5/7 – New Orleans, LA – Jazz and Heritage Festival * More dates to be announced in the coming weeks. www.rap-up.com/2011/03/11/lauryn-hill-announces-spring-tour-dates-joins-twitter/ |

Thanks guest21. So this is what her road manager meant when he told me they would be back in Atlanta in a couple of months. This was all in the works.
Well, I got my ticket to the March 23rd show earlier this week and now it looks like I'm going to have to get a ticket to the Atlanta show too. I'm thinking that she's going to do some new music. I usually don't speculate, but a twitter account, and a second leg to her tour?

Additional Qoutes from Ms Hill: "One of the benefits of playing venues smaller than the ones I'm used to allows me the opportunity to not only reconnect with my supporters but to expose them to a portion of the musical journey I've been on which the world for the most part has not had access to,” said Lauryn Hill in a statement. “I've never shied away from being musically adventurous, nor am I known for being a lightweight when it comes to lyrical content or musical exploration.” “These more intimate playdates afford me the time to perform for listeners who haven't heard from me over the past several years or have been misinformed by the inaccuracies in some media coverage, many of which I might add, I find very amusing,” Hill explained. “Getting back out there to perform is a lot like resuming a strenuous sport after having been away from it for a while, but eventually the muscle-memory kicks in and each day brings progressive strength.” www.hiphopdx.com/index/news/id.14387/title.lauryn-hill-announces-moving-target-extended-intimate-playdate-series-tour |

I'm guessing you're excited? Well, this news made me finally sign up for a Twitter account, so I'll be following Ms. Hill. @since & Nylle23, weren't both of you at the last Atlanta concert? I think it's great that you get to see Lauryn again so soon. |

Lol. I think we are all excited. I'm suspicious of the twitter account though. But to your point petra, I think lauryn is very careful about what information gets out there so if she doesn't tweet herself, at the very least I think she'll be telling whoever she assigns to that task exactly what to tweet...verbatim probably. Lol. ladona, yep I was at the Atlanta show last time and I really can't wait to see her again. @since, yes ma'am I will see you there. I have to get up closer this time though. |

Y'all have no idea how excited I was when I read that Lauryn OFFICIALLY joined twitter. It's like, "she's touring, she announces her come back, and now she's on twitter." My girl is REALLY coming back now! I just might join twitter now that Lauryn is on there. This makes me want to support her even more.

Another thing that would make my day is if Lauryn added NEW songs to go along with her new tour. I've been patiently waiting for new (studio) material for the last 11 years. At the very least, just one new song. It would be delightful, and she wouldn't have to remake her old songs. If this twitter account is indeed Lauryn, this is such a great opportunity to truly connect with her fans. We can finally find out when 'Repercussions' was recorded, as well as the state of her life and new album.

Yeah! That's sooooooo great ! Unfortunately, I won't get a twitter account, 'cause I could spent to much time on this.... But, what would be extremely nice is if you read some news, please, could you share it here? I think we're closer to hear some new music.... |

I was just browsing little on twitter (dam you twitter, I should be studying! ) and look what one of her background singers tweeted: yep...it's 3:53...and we're still rehearsing. In fact...she just gave us a list of new songs to learn...OMG! new songs? aslo she tweeted: ok....its official.... Lauryn Hill owns a theremin... and wants our pianist to play it on one of the tunes.... Im done...
im in SHOCK... yes....she does....and the piano player just pulled it out... we're using it in the show.... lolAlso, it seems that rehearsal are pretty long and exhausting.. twitter.com/#!/Peaches_Pringle |

twitter.com/#!/Peaches_Pringle: Ms Hill has that Nina Simone tremble DOWN... about 3 hours ago via web L Boogie is a genius... Even if you don't get her idea at first... shit Always.....comes together.. BEAST... about 4 hours ago via web @daniellewithers she's amazing. about 3 hours ago via web in reply to Daniellewithers Her back-up singer, "Peaches", seems more open than the rest of them. Tanikka Charrae, another back-up singer, also confirmed that MsHillMvngTrgt IS Lauryn's account. I'm glad that L boogie is still a musical perfectionist....and according to her cohort...a genius.
