I saw there was already a thread regarding Zagreb so I thought I'd consolidate the information we know right now about upcoming shows. Mods, maybe this should be sticky as there are clearly more dates in the works?

8th November - Herning, Denmark

Translated text from Website:

14th November - Krakow, Poland

Translated text from that website:

Prince in Krakow Wisla Stadium at the opening!

Price - Krakow - 2010-11-14

As reported by the media, most likely star of the opening of renovated stadium will be Prince Wisla Krakow - an American musician, counted among those who exerted the greatest influence on contemporary music. It will top the first concert of the artist in Poland.

Date 14 November is an unofficial deadline. Price's exact date of the concert will be announced in Krakow will soon.

Prince is a representative of styles such as soul, funk, R & B, dance, rock, jazz, rock and many others. Many critics think that it combines the individuality of three pioneers of rock and roll - Little Richard, Rhythm and blues - James Brown, and psychedelic rock - Jimi Hendrix. Interspecific Prince broke barriers by creating an amazing mixture of styles.

Prince is one of the biggest rock eccentrics. Controversial dress and stage-specific behavior has created their image.

At a concert in Krakow will hear such hits as the Prince's "Purple Rain", "Kiss," "When Doves Cry" and "I Want to Be Your Lover."

Dariusz Maciborek, RMF FM journalist, argues that the invitation to the Prince of Krakow is a good choice. - Of course I am pleased and I will be the stage to listen to Prince. This is one of the best musicians in the world.

Details on the ticket we will soon.

28th November - Zagreb, Croatia

From the website:

The artist formally known as Prince will bring back the sound of the 80s during a concert in Zagreb scheduled for November.

The local press reports that Zagreb's performance venue Arena has been reserved for the 40-times platinum winner with over 30 top 40 hits to his name, from November 27 to 29.

The exact date of the concert has not yet been confirmed.

Nice. Glad to see you caught a few more upcoming concert dates, Militant.

One of these days, I'll get to see Prince in concert. Have not seen him yet.

Am I crazy person for checking on flights to Poland in November? I have a friend that lives there, I can stay with her. Oh Prince. I Hate U.

Come. To. Canada.

If it turns out to be a great show, and he plays Witness 4 The Prosecution, Old Friends 4 Sale(Original), Data Bank, Empty Room, Computer Blue, a full length Condition of the Heart... I would say it would be worth it to pay NASA to take you to the International Space Station to see that show.

If it turns out to be a show with 7 Prince songs in medley, and then 11 cover songs, then you will feel worse than you can imagine. If I ever pay more than $150 for a Prince concert, it would end up being a Tony M Reunion, with a 55 minute version of Jughead, followed by a "Welcome Back Doug E Fresh" Aftershow....that would be my luck.

Ha, ha, ha. No, you're not crazy.

Enthusiastic and why not?

Danke schoen.

I'm guessing this means shows in the US and/or UK are out for this year... Looks like he's doing central/eastern europe instead. Which is nice I guess... that translation says it will be his first showing in Poland. I wish I could go, but unless 700 dollars falls from the sky for the flight, I'll just hang out here.

There were rumours of a residency in Paris too. These are a bit older and no date has been confirmed yet.
Shelby J did post on her Facebook page that she "was looking forward to play MANY more shows in Paris soon" but the post got deleted the next day.

There's also this article.

NOUVELLE TOURNÉE ?

M. Bernardin, à qui Le Monde a précisé que le dossier d'appel d'offres devait être déposé avant le 15 septembre, devrait voir les services culturels de la mairie de Nice en début de semaine. Par ailleurs le producteur nous a indiqué que Prince pourrait revenir en tournée européenne en septembre ou octobre dans des pays qui n'ont pas été visités cet été (Italie, Pays-Bas, Grande-Bretagne…). Aussi, l'idée d'un ou plusieurs concerts sur le bassin de Neptune du château de Versailles n'est pas abandonnée, ainsi que celle d'une résidence de plusieurs jours ou semaines dans une salle parisienne.

Dimanche 25 juillet, à l'issue de son concert, le chanteur devait recevoir d'Emmanuel de Buretel un disque d'or pour Lotus Flower, certifiant 50 000 exemplaires de l'album vendus en magasin en France.

Short translation: Prince might come back for a European tour in September or October in countries he hasn't visited yet this summer (Italy, Holland, Great Britain, ...). Maybe one or two concerts in Versailles or a residency in Paris for a few days or weeks.

Sure! U can woo her, get her out of those dresses, and give them to me!

All these shows planned for Europe make me feel less nervous about lining up acting gigs for the rest of the year. I hate being all booked up if he's playing anywhere in the States.
