Festival to mark first anniversary of Prince’s death
By Andy Malt | Published on Wednesday 30 November 2016
A new four day music festival held in memory of Prince will take place at his Paisley Park compound on the first anniversary of his death, it has been announced. Let’s hope they get the parking admin sorted in time.
Called Celebration 2017, the event will take place from 20-23 Apr, with performances from Prince-related acts such as The Revolution, Morris Day and 3rdeyegirl, among others.
“Celebration 2017 will honour and celebrate the life and legacy of Prince, as the world marks the first anniversary of his passing”, say organisers.
“Bringing together musicians, creative personnel, special guests and friends who worked closest with Prince and knew him best”, they add. “These four days will feature live music, panel discussions and presentations on Prince’s tremendous talent, influence and importance as a composer, musician, producer, live performer and filmmaker”.
Tickets cost $499, or $999 if you want the VIP treatment. More info here.
