Lauryn Hill and Wyclef Jean’s Fugees Reunion Set Cut Short at Milton Keynes Festival
More than 35,000 fans saw Hill reunite with Wyclef Jean as the Fugees marked 30 years of The Score and Erykah Badu joined the set.
- On Friday, August 7, 35,000 fans gathered at The National Bowl in Milton Keynes, England, for Diaspora Calling!'s UK debut, headlined by Lauryn Hill, Wyclef Jean, and hosted by Dave Chappelle.
- Launched by Hill in 2016, the festival celebrated the African and Caribbean diaspora ten years after its Brooklyn inaugural, while marking the 30th anniversary of the Fugees' landmark album 'The Score'.
- The lineup included Erykah Badu, YG Marley, and Zion Marley, with Chappelle tying together a program of hip-hop, reggae, and Afrobeat that attracted backstage guests including Gunna, Common, and Tiwa Savage.
- Licensing restrictions forced the Fugees' headlining set to end abruptly at 11 PM, with event operators cutting microphones before Hill and Jean could address the crowd.
- Following the abrupt finish, Jean told The Sun they were "just getting started" and hoped to return next year, while recently confirming new music from the duo is "absolutely" on the cards.
