Unless you live there is anyone not excited by the news? After Dublin I'm just not prepared to gamble my money.

Let's face it, unless Prince is playing on your doorstep he may as well not be playing at all.

On a side note, any Big Chillers here (UK festival)?

so the roumor about the new album and the european tour isnt a fake!! how cool is that!!!!! yeahhhhh



two more concerts in belgium and denmark !!! Yeahhhhh

It's on drfunkensmelly: http://www.drfunkenberry....as-france/

Didn't anyone bother to check the arras 2010 website ?

http://www.mainsquarefest...index.aspx

The festival appears to be only on the 2-3-4 of July. Not on the 9th

And of course, no mention of Prince in the lineup.

Jealous much? Funny how you make fun of him but made sure to go to his site to see if he posted it. Lame.

Naqua said:

yeah but he doesn't play at the festival, he only uses the stage or something. In Belgium (werchter) we have the same situation going on: he doesn't play on the festival itself, but a week later. Arras and Rock Werchter are from the same promoters by the way

EXCLUSIVE - The singer will perform in the citadel of Arras, 9 July next.

A Prince concert is always a great event. The star will occur next July 9 to highlight Arras Main Square Festival, held from July 2 to 4. It will offer the public a show of 3:30, as part of the famous citadel of Arras classified. It will host several guests, whose names have not yet been disclosed.

This concert marks the non-standard one of only three dates he scheduled this summer in Europe. Once again, the king of funk demonstrates his taste for live performances exception. In October last, he gave two concerts at the Grand Palais in Paris, after falling in love with the place during Fashion Week. Tailor-made shows, played to packed houses and had then created the event.

Back in stores in September with the album LOtUSFLOW3R, the "kid from Minneapolis" will offer an original creation, made exclusively for its summer concerts. In Europe, the king of funk will do two other appearances in Denmark and Belgium.

Tickets for the concert, from 84 euros to 124 euros free investment in gold square, go on sale April 27 at 10am in all networks, and preview for mobile clients and SFR sfrmusic.fr digitick. com 25 and April 26.

Prince concert at the Main Square Special, Europe 1 event.

Cool.

Question:

No mention of a new Album....is this a new Tour with no New Album to promote this time?

daaaa crap i'm in serbia that week!!!

Does anyone know the dates of the other shows???

love2thenines2003 said:

Not really a tour yet. It's 3 shows at festivals as far as I can tell.

New album news :
De retour dans les bacs en septembre dernier avec l‘album Lotusflow3r, le "kid de Minneapolis" proposera une création originale, réalisée exclusivement pour ses concerts estivaux.

Translation :
After his return to the record stores last year September with Lotusflow3r, the "Kid of Minneapolis" will present a new creation, which he realised solely for the festival concerts

Source?

thanx

LittleSister said:

That could easily be a new show concept as well. Or perhaps the shows are a testing ground for new material. I don't doubt we'll have hard evidence of a new record soon.

I heard that a new Larry Graham Album is on the way....so maybe we will get a compilation Album with new trax from Prince/Larry Graham/Mint Condition.....

awesome! cant wait for some new photos

does someone know if we can purchase tickets 4 the arras show in the belgium fnac stores ??
it was possible 4 the grand palais shows ...

brechten said:

Also, can you book them online and get them sent to you?

I remember people saying that they collected them at fnac stores before but I'm not sure if this was just because of tight timelines.

SugarnSpice said:

well i don't know that... i just called 2 my local FNAC store here in Bruges and they say that they'll be available 27april at 10am

OMG OMG which one ????
Denmark, Belgium or France, they're all on my doorstep???

Thank YOU for letting us know early. I might have been in Dubrovnik or Bodrum on vacation!!

brechten said:

Ok, thanks anyway! Will hopefully be in France the day before anyway so might be passing by a Fnac store

I hope it's gonna be the jazz band (Renato/Rhonda/John and possibly Morris)! I'm not much interested by a greatest hits package with his "pop" band like he did in Paris last year (though i'm sure i'd enjoy this anyway)!

love2thenines2003 said:

The Larry Graham album is seperate, They both have their own bands again now. Larry is currently touring solo. Larry's album may contain some Prince-input or duets but I think that will be about it.

They still duet together now and then and jam privately (according to recent Larry interview) but it seems for now, they are doing their own distinct work.

j'y vais!!!!!

I'll be there !!!!
