Former Fugees singing sensation Lauryn Hill will headline the opening night of the Emirates Airline Dubai Jazz Festival.
Fans of the 44-year-old can look forward to hits from her award-winning debut album The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, including Doo Wop (That Thing), Ex-Factor and Everything is Everything.
The album went straight in at number one on the US Billboard 200, where it has sold around eight million copies.
Multi-Grammy award-winning Hill will be supported by leading British singer-songwriter and guitarist Bruno Major on February 26.
Major’s debut album A Song for Every Moon was released in 2017. He has previously opened for Sam Smith on a UK arena tour in 2018.
Tickets for the event, which is presented by Mastercard, will go on sale on Wednesday.
