I said it before;

I think Leanne la Havas will show up one way or the other.

Mint Condition put on a hell of a show, and always do. Not too many real bands playing this kind of music.

The “Welcome 2” event will be held at the United Center earlier that evening, in support of the Rebuild the Dream foundation, founded by Van Jones, whose mission is to mobilize thousands of everyday people who come together to build strong vibrant communities, and to fix the U.S. economy from the ground up.

As soon as we felt Andy Allo's energetic presence on tour with r band,” says Prince, “we knew she'd b leading her own revolution soon!"

Adds Allo, “Touring with Prince & The NPG has been a challenging and rewarding experience, and ‘Superconductor’ is a work of art that encapsulates the journey thus far." A poet, songwriter, singer and dancer, Allo has been a member of The New Power Generation since 2011. Allo will continue to tour with Prince in conjunction with the release of “Superconductor.”

MC would be great. Its a real band, they funk, they r from MPLS. And they could jam with Prince. Actually the MC band is better than Prince's band. Man MC and Prince would be a dope ass combo.

Replace the whole NPG with MC except for the drummer. Stokely could do backing vocals and percussion, he could play drums also, cuz he's a excellent drummer.
