The Miseducation Tour (alternatively titled Everything Is Everything Tour) was the debut solo concert tour by American rapper and singer-songwriter Lauryn Hill. It was launched in the support of her debut solo studio album The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill (1998). Although no immediate tour was planned in support of The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, the tour commenced in Tokyo, Japan on January 21, 1999. After 70 shows across Japan, North America, and Europe, the tour concluded in Gainesville, Virginia on August 15, 1999.
Alongside songs from The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, the set list for The Miseducation Tour incorporated songs Hill had recorded as a member of the Fugees, as well as covers of songs by other artists. The tour was sponsored by Armani and Levi Strauss & Co., which was seen as a pioneering approach to collaborations between brands and artists. Outkast, Busta Rhymes, The Roots, Slick Rick, and Choclair joined Hill as opening acts for different dates across North America. The tour received widespread critical acclaim, primarily directed towards Hill's showmanship and vocal performance. A commercial success, its numerous dates sold out upon announcement. Retrospectively, The Miseducation Tour has been credited with introducing arena touring among hip-hop artists and popularizing hip-hop, reggae, and dancehall among mainstream audiences.
