Lauryn Hill playing in Chicago this summer???

Hey, and The Time's playin' too! woot!




Via the Chicago Tribune:

Lauryn Hill, Santana to entertain at Taste
Lineup set for 11-day food fest in Grant Park

Greg Kot
Published April 6, 2005


A Taste of Chicago lineup featuring Lauryn Hill, Clint Black, Steve Winwood and Santana will be announced this week, the Mayor's Office of Special Events said Tuesday.

The 11-day festival will begin June 24 at the Petrillo Music Shell in Grant Park with a headlining performance by the mercurial Hill, who has yet to record a studio follow-up to her multimillion-selling 1998 debut album, "The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill." The former Fugees vocalist remains one of the most compelling performers in contemporary folk-soul.

The rest of the lineup includes LeAnn Rimes and Aaron Tippin on June 25, Black and Julie Roberts on June 26, a Broadway in Chicago production on June 27, Donna Summer on June 28, the Gap Band and Morris Day and the Time on June 29, Lynyrd Skynyrd and Creedence Clearwater Revisited on June 30, Winwood and Dr. John on July 1, Santana and Los Lonely Boys on July 2 and a fireworks show on July 3.

John Hiatt playing with the North Mississippi All-Stars will close the festival on July 4 with a still to-be-named headliner.

why? is she known for cancelling shows? i thought that was just what she did with records, lol!

anyway, i'm looking forward to it. there was some several day long series of shows here for essence or ebony or something...lauryn hill was one of the concerts (along with the roots, erykah badu, and jill scott). she showed for that performance and it went off without a hitch as far as i know. i was so salty i couldn't go!
