INSIDERS INSIST PRINCE WILL B TOURING AUSTRALIA THIS YEAR ...

In Aussie newspaper the Herald-Sun yesterday there was an article on ppl who were rumored 2 tour downunder this year.Some of the rumored artists were Coldplay & Paul Macartney due 2 the A$ being good.But like I said the difference in words when it came 2 Prince was that they INSISTED when it came 2 Prince and rumored when it came 2 the other artists...So fingers & toes crossed 2 my fellow Aussie compats. Its been nearly 10 years between gigs and 20 since D & P tour...I've got a good feeling that this will happen... smile

It "sort of" makes sense. Audiences are down in the well served Prince areas, I think I'd take the show somewhere I hadn't been accessable for over a decade.

Though I think (in-case they're listening) they's sell out and make more money in London wink

Goodness, but I fear it will be another "rumour" and stay that way. But then again, he has toured everywhere and the $1 is good here. I suppose when I see Asia on a tour list, then I will get excited. BUT it breaks me he doesn't have a fan club so I get the best seats with my fellow prince fans (real deal fams)

If this actually happens, it will b in September. It has long been documented that Prince has been booked 2 open the new Sydney casino. Im guessing that a proper tour will b planned around that. But a stadium tour? I doubt it. He only just sold 2 shows each in Melbourne and Sydney in 13000 seat arenas last time he toured, unless hes only planning 1 stadium show in each city then maybe. But after all the rumours ive heard and information ive read, im about 80% sure he's coming, its just a matter of waiting until its all confirmed. But just remember, If u know Prince like i know him, ull know that he changes his mind every 5 mins!

I'm fairly the sure the Crown Casino was reopened last year and Stevie Wonder played for the opening, actually.

No, Crown casino is in Melbourne. The new Sydney casino is called The Star. Yes ure right it did reopen last year and Stevie Wonder did play there. But the actual redevelpoment isnt finished yet and the full official opening of The Star will b in Sep this year. Here is a link 2 the 1st casino rumour...

Since then we have gone 2 this.......

Where are you getting September from?

The only rumour I've seen regarding Star was about the reopening (still regarded as the "Official opening" on their website) in September 2011, which is the aforementioned one that Stevie played at.

I know there are other - individual - elements still to open, but I haven't seen anything about September 2012?

I'd be surprised if he scheduled a tour around that anyway, because it would be counter-productive. The Stevie Wonder tickets were extremely expensive, but the thing was that it was the only way you could see him in Australia. If he was doing a tour at the same time, I guarantee they would have had more trouble selling tickets.

I've given up on the Prince/Star rumours - but if it happens, I suspect it will be independent of a tour and probably with a minimal band line-up.

The current rumours seem to be more centred around the end of the year - late spring, early summer. I'd be surprised by a stadium tour as well, for a few reasons, and I certainly hope he doesn't go any bigger than arenas, but still, anything is good smile

(Also, someone recently pointed out to me that the latest rumour about a stadium tour was in an article about a stadium up in Queensland, so it's possible they just dropped his name as a 'rumoured artist' to get a bit more publicity confused)

I'm sure something's in the works, but what it is will no doubt remain a mystery until Prince is ready to reveal it wink

Im basing my theories on the information i provided with the links. The 1st 1 about the casino clearly states "next year" which is now this year. The next 1 with lady Gaga lists One Dimension as a possible act 2 b touring this year, and they have just been announced. The stadium tour rumour im really not sure about.

Lets just c what happens.

Bonnaroo lineup announced: Radiohead, Bon Iver, Skrillex and more

By Ray Rahman, EW.com
updated 4:49 PM EST, Tue February 14, 2012
Thom Yorke of Radiohead, shown here performing at the Glastonbury Festival in 2011, will perform at Bonnaroo.
Thom Yorke of Radiohead, shown here performing at the Glastonbury Festival in 2011, will perform at Bonnaroo.
STORY HIGHLIGHTS
  • Bonnaroo will take place June 7-10 this year
  • The biggest headliner is Radiohead, who is also performing at Coachella
  • Some of the fest's bigger acts include Skrillex, the Shins and Bon Iver

(EW.com) -- South by Southwest is right around the corner, and Coachella's already prepping its polo grounds for a two-weekend extravaganza, which means it's time to look forward to that third major warm-climate festival: Bonnaroo.

Manchester, Tennessee's, second most exciting tourist attraction (we see you, Old Stone Fort!) will take place June 7-10 this year, and its newly announced lineup is as impressive as ever. Perhaps the biggest headliner are Radiohead (who are also doing Coachella); also on the top of the masthead are the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Phish, who are no strangers to Bonnaroo's muddy festivities.

Some of the fest's bigger acts -- many of which you may remember from the Grammys -- include Skrillex, the Shins, Bon Iver, Bad Brains, the Civil Wars, comedian Aziz Ansari, and the reunited Beach Boys (hopefully without Foster the People, though they will be there too).

Of course, there's many, many more. Check out the full list of artists below:
