Lauryn Hill and Wyclef Jean will perform together in Miami on December 5, 2026, extending the 30th-anniversary celebration of the Fugees album The Score. Their appearance at Faena Forum is part of The Fourth Space, a new Saint & Citizen cultural event bringing live music into conversation with visual art, migration and identity. The concert features the two artists; a reunion of the full original group has not been announced.
Lauryn Hill and Wyclef Jean are taking the 30th anniversary of the Fugees’ The Score into a different setting on December 5. Rather than a conventional concert venue, the pair will appear at Faena Forum in Miami Beach, where live performance will share the program with visual art and conversations about cultural identity during Miami Art Week.
Their performance is the headline musical event at the launch of The Fourth Space, a new initiative from Saint & Citizen. Organizers have scheduled the concert for 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. local time on Saturday, December 5. The exhibition opens at noon, and DJs are expected to continue the evening with an afterparty following the performance.
The event is built around the relationship between The Score and the experiences of communities shaped by migration. Its program combines an immersive exhibition with discussions about storytelling, belonging and memory. For the organizers, revisiting an album released in 1996 is a way to examine how the music continues to carry meaning for people whose stories extend beyond a single city or country.
Paula Grant, the chief executive of Saint & Citizen, explained the idea behind the name. Homes, workplaces and social gathering places already shape everyday life; The Fourth Space is intended to be created through shared culture and experience. She also pointed to Miami’s history of communities bringing different traditions with them as a reason to stage the anniversary event there.
The appearance should not be mistaken for the artists’ first reunion this year. Hill and Jean performed together at Global Citizen Live in Rio de Janeiro in June. They also began American concerts celebrating The Score’s anniversary in November, starting at the Greek Theatre in Berkeley before moving to other major venues.
The December announcement names Hill and Jean, not the Fugees’ complete original lineup. There is no confirmation that Pras Michel, the group’s third member, will participate at Faena Forum. Organizers have not published a set list, either, so the billing does not establish that the musicians will perform the entire album from beginning to end.
The Score arrived in February 1996 as the Fugees’ second studio album, following Blunted on Reality. It took the trio’s combination of hip-hop, soul and reggae to a much larger audience. Recordings including “Killing Me Softly,” “Ready or Not” and “Fu-Gee-La” became enduring parts of the group’s catalogue and helped define the album’s crossover appeal.
At the 1997 Grammy Awards, The Score won Best Rap Album and was also nominated for Album of the Year. That recognition placed the project among the year’s most prominent recordings across genres. Hill’s singing and rapping, Jean’s performances and production, and Pras’s contributions each formed part of the distinctive sound listeners associate with the original record.
A related art project gives fans a role in this anniversary beyond attending a show. FUGEES HOPELINE, introduced earlier in November, invites people to record messages reflecting on hope and their own experiences. Selected contributions are due to become part of an exhibition at Faena Forum on December 4 and 5.
Developed with the public-art platform CIRCA, the initiative uses a telephone line as its point of contact. Callers can hear personal messages from Hill and Jean, share their reflections and listen to a preview of previously unreleased Fugees music. The preview belongs to the interactive project and should not be confused with an announcement of a new studio album.
Hill has also created three collages using photographs, typography and material from the group’s archives. Presented as limited-edition art prints, they offer a visual way of looking back on three decades of music and public life. The artworks help explain why the Miami presentation involves an exhibition rather than only another anniversary concert.
The FUGEES HOPELINE exhibition was announced separately on November 5 and was already scheduled for December 4 and 5. The newly confirmed detail is the December 5 live performance connected with The Fourth Space. Keeping those announcements distinct matters: one invites the public to contribute recorded voices, while the other adds a concert by the two named artists.
Miami Art Week provides an audience that may encounter The Score through both its music and its cultural history. At Faena Forum, conversations about migration and identity are planned alongside the exhibition and concert. The event’s premise is not that a recording can explain every individual experience, but that people can bring their own memories into a shared space.
Saint & Citizen has opened registration for early access to tickets through its website. Beyond the announced two-hour performance window, the organizers have not detailed the song selection or confirmed additional performers. Those questions remain open ahead of December 5, despite the broader anniversary concerts already underway.
For Hill and Jean, Miami adds a performance centered on the Fugees’ legacy to an anniversary season that has included both concerts and public art. Visitors will have the opportunity to hear the two artists together while the exhibition presents recordings contributed by listeners. The confirmed date is December 5, with the music scheduled to begin at 8 p.m. local time.
