Lauryn Hill and Wyclef Jean will reunite at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles for a concert celebrating the 30th anniversary of Fugees album, The Score.
The hip-hop group, made up of Hill, Jean and Prakazrel “Pras” Michel, released the album on Feb. 13, 1996. Hill and Jean will honor the “culture-shifting” LP at the Hollywood Bowl on Nov. 8, at 7:30 p.m.
A portion of the proceeds will benefit the Los Angeles County Parks Foundation’s efforts to restore parks damaged by the recent Los Angeles wildfires, according to Ticketmaster.

The Score topped the Billboard 200 chart and was certified six-times platinum by October 1997.
Billboard credited three massive singles for the album’s success: “Fu-Gee-La,” “Ready or Not,” and the group’s hip-hop-infused cover of Roberta Flack’s “Killing Me Softly With His Song.”
“There’s real instrumentation for the rock fans, a fairly obvious Bob Marley cover for stoners and college kids, and enough soulful vocals from figurehead Lauryn Hill to court middle-aged listeners still on the fence about hip-hop,” the magazine said about the album.
Pras remains out of the spotlight after a federal conviction for violating U.S. campaign finances laws.
The Score earned the Fugees two Grammy Awards in 1997 — in the categories of Best Rap Album and Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal for “Killing Me Softly With His Song,” according to Grammy.com.
Hill and Jean performed together and celebrated the album’s anniversary at the inaugural Diaspora Calling! festival in England, on Aug. 7, 2026, People reported. The pair belted out several songs from The Score, including “Ready or Not” and “Fu-Gee-La.”
The two previously reunited at a public memorial service for Roberta Flack in Harlem, New York, in March 2025, and they joined Raphael Saadiq for a tribute to Flack at the 2026 Grammy Awards.
