Have there been any announcements about who may be opening or if there is one for the Saturday show?

Dr. Funkenberry says Mint Condition will open Friday and there will be a SUPER SURPRISE GUEST opening on Saturday. He said it was a girl.

I'm going to both shows. Can't wait!

Nick Ashford was someone I greatly admired, had the honor of knowing, and was the real-life inspiration for Cowboy Curtis' hair. RIP Nick. - Pee Wee Herman

Lot's of talk about Gwen Stefani on Saturday. Though I think it's more of an appearance than her as an opening act.

and it is Mint Condition on Friday, from their twitter:

MintCondition
Just announced!!! We will be opening for Prince this Friday, April 22nd at The Forum in L.A.!!!

I was hoping for the Time but since the person is supposed to be female, I don't know. What is your guess?

Maybe its Janet Jackson!!! She's on tour now and would make sense

EDIT: never mind that - Janet is in Vegas Saturday night and I just read Dr F. post..

"she's just a girl" thats just obvious its Gwen!!!! AWESOME

The greatest live performer of our times was is and always will be Prince.

Remember there is only one destination and that place is U

For the 4/14 show, I never saw any mention of an opener. Who was it? Or was it just Prince?

That's what I was thinking too. I said the same thing in the thread I posted from DrF's site. Somehow that little hint "She's just a girl" reminded me of Beyonce's song "If I was a boy". Who knows, but some are speculating it may be Gwen Stefani.

Here's the others I thought it could be based on DrF's hint:

Madonna

Beverly Knight (I think that's her last name)

Cindy Lauper (She did do that song "Girl's just wanna have fun

Thanks for the tweet Steven Anthony. Though I'm not sure if her info is right because it looks like Mint Condition is playing on Friday:

MintCondition
Mint Condition will be opening for Prince AGAIN this Friday night, April 29th at The Forum in Los Angeles. We hope to see you there!
What I was trying to figure out is who's playing Thursday, only because that is the show I'm going to.
