Lauryn Hill Announces "Artist In Residence" Canadian Tour in 2025

In a highly anticipated move, legendary artist Lauryn Hill has announced plans to tour 8 cities across Canada in late 2025. Kicking off on November 19 in Winnipeg, Manitoba, the "Artist In Residence" tour will see Hill perform in theaters, halls, and auditoriums through December 19, with her final show taking place at the National Arts Centre in Ottawa, Ontario.

The tour comes just a few months after Hill's surprise appearance at the Essence Festival in July 2025, where she took the stage around 2:30 a.m. to a nearly empty stadium. Organizers of the festival came to her defense, and now fans in Canada will have the chance to see the iconic singer live.

Alongside the tour announcement, Hill recently posted an emotional tribute to the late singer D'Angelo, who passed away from cancer on October 14, 2025. She called him "a beacon of light to a generation and beyond" and expressed regret at not having more time with him, describing his "undeniable beauty and talent" as not of this world.

Tickets for Hill's "Artist In Residence" tour will go on sale starting with pre-sales on October 22, 2025, with public on-sale beginning two days later. Notably, $2 from every ticket sold will be donated to the MLH Fund, which provides resources for local community outreach.
