As I can't get to the shows on sunday I'm just hoping he will do some more shows there similar to the london stint.
I think he will. He's been rehearsing for weeks apparently. Surely they wouldn't be for just 2 spur of the moment shows?
Here's hoping . . . .

I'm going to both shows 2morrow.


I'd be glad to c Prince in Paris again, but unfortunatly, and I mean it, I won't go to other shows.

Interesting contribution to this thread.

virginie74 said:

Yeah, thanks for that.

What's this about a press conference on monday? This could be good news.

I'm not surprised. Paris is a wonderful city, that's where I chose to live ...

Why expect and speculate on things that didn't occur yet ?

Wait and c...

virginie74 said:

You haven't quite grasped the point of this thread have you. Its pure speculation. If you don't want to, then fine. But please, no more pointless replies. What next? A map of the Paris metro?

Remember Virginie is French!!

Prince is appearing on a show on Monday evening on French TV so speculation is that he may announce something.....or he may just play a song.

Le Parisien newspaper on Friday mentioned a series of gigs in different sized venues...but nothing has been confirmed and I haven't heard anything about a press conference yet

Wish I was this weekend!

LondonStyle seems to have got wind of a press conference on monday. I doubt he would announce a residency during a tv appearance (isn't that on wednesday?)

Malloy said:

The press conference is Monday at noon at La Cigale. It is said that Prince is going to announce more shows but we don't know if it will be a residency. Could also be other dates in Europe. We never know with him. There are strong rumors about a "show" Monday night (DJ set + Prince MAYBE playing). The Canal + TV show is on Wednesday. The last time he played for C+ it was dynamite !

Malloy said:

It's supposed to b on monday.

The wednesday is a tv appearance at "Le Grand Journal".

Purplegirlfromparis said:

Is that press conference confirmed or is it just a rumour?

Malloy said:

It is as much confirmed on Monday as anything can b with the Purple one. The time was supposed to be noon, but there's a possibility that it might change... An other thing. Maceo is playing in France these days. But NOT on Monday. So many people hope that, maybe... The event on Monday evening is said to be mostly on invitation with very few tickets sold. To b followed.

Malloy said:

it's a confirmed rumor .....! on Monday ...reading between the lines 5 more shows....after that who knows ...

eireboy34 said:

Parisien from last Thursday
So there is another tv-appearance (except for the Grand Journal on Wednesday) tomorrow? Who said so, which channel made this public?

Agence France Press seem pretty sure about a "showcase" w at the Cigale on Monday with two Djs....

Whatever " showcase" means

eireboy34 said:

This is alot of promotion after the event, something's going down 4 sure !

Then I guess we better start saving
At least it will give us more time hopefully to make arrangements.

Sorry, thought Canal plus was tomorrow! Getting all my days mixed up witht he excitment!!!

Here's the link.

Translated quote:
"Le chanteur devrait se produire en showcase lundi à La Cigale avec DJ Mehdi et SebastiAn."
"The singer is expected to present a promotional appearance Monday at Le Cigale with DJ Mehdi and SebastiAn."

Malloy said:

Thanks for the info. but which channel made it public that a press conference at 12 noon on Monday is a possibility? Or was this just made up by a fan at pabw? There's a lot of talk about a press conference but I haven't seen one reliable source yet. My guess: there won't be a press conference, people are confusing the concert at Le Cigale on Monday evening or the RLT appearance on Monday afternoon with a press conference.

my guess is by monday he'll lay out plans for more concerts in Paris !

dori said:

Let's hope....

How many nights does a residency normally consist of?

So, are we to assume now that as he didn't mention more shows at his press conference on monday that there won't be any? You'd have thought that would be the perfect time to announce them, no? I'm a little less optimistic now. Someone give me a reason to believe! I have to say, does anyone else think that setlist he did at the Cigalle was the business! Man, that show would have been amazing. Come on P, as The JBs said . . "Gimme some more!"

Maybe we should check with Mani's lawyers for clarification.

The only change I noticed was in "sometimes is snow in april" : instead of saying life will never ending he said : that life will ever lasting.

virginie74 said:

Interesting insight into whether there'll be more Paris shows. Thanks.

Malloy said:

I think we can assume he's gonna announce at the last minute.

Don't forget there's another show tonight on Canal + = he might say something.

Unfortunatly I can't receive Canal + home so I hope french fellows will relate and/or Canal + will set the show online.
