PRINCE may come to play in Hokkaido, Japan on 21st of NOV. NPGMC answered on 17th by email bout this rumor "We have no info on any more tour dates at this time. When more dates r confirmed, we will emale all the members and post them on the site."
But it seems to be confirmed (already)the date and place. The company who arranged this told "it is SURE there will be a live performance by PRINCE in Hokkaido, but we can not answer any questions at this moment. Wait until 21st of September" Announcement about this Hokkaido date was on the paper (just one paper in Japan) on 19th, two days earlier than he said. On 21st, though some fans called the official desk but the answer was "Wait until 25th, it is due to PRINCE's reasons" So I may write more informatios after 25th?? Anyway, the date and place already informed is:

date:21,NOV,2002
place:Koseinenkin-kaikan, Sapporo city, Hokkaido, JAPAN
*pre-sale by the ticket office will start in 6th of OCT*

can anybody know much about this?

If this will work out and maybe some Australien gigs, naysayers saying that Prince's World Tour will be US-only can eat their words.

That sounds about as definite as me hitting the lottery. They said no, but we heard yes, and they will have to announce the show, but we have confirmations saying this, but only if they say that.
Huh?

That's right, I wouldn't wait for a quick clarification. Just hope and wait, but do not take it for granted and promised.

makes sense, after all, its a long time ago since tokyo'90
(nude tour) and the ona tour was/is announced as a world tour... so world not only means america! and europe - i beg 4 u, rest of the world, that u can b a witness 4urself as well - cos i am already gettin hot 4 my 3 concerts in october (germany and switzerland) yo yo, keep the fonk alive! (also says bootsie - check his new disc btw)

I do hope you are right my friend.

The big problem is that I am on holiday interstate between 25/11 and 5/12, right when he would most likely come here.

This could get very expensive for me. Oh well, what the fuck.

fab: sorry, but he was (and also i) was 96 in japan for 7
concerts. the japan gold experience tour in january was a
cool time!

It's looking good for Australia.

If he goes 2 Japan than he better do at least one show here in Hawaii...If a Steve Perry less Journey can sell out two nights I know Prince can!! Aloha~

I had a dream he played Australia last night. Don't ever lose your dreams.

Wundi said:

wow... you mean I might not even have to wait for the celebration?!

Well... however likely or unlikely, I'm not going to lose hope!

Well if you go to Australia you might as well come to NZ, which you've never done BTW, you freakin' little... um Mr Nelson, sir, your highness. NZ is much nicer, no horrible insects and snakes... And if you could make it to the South Island, it would really be much appreciated. So I guess I'll see you soon

narcotizedmind said:

The South Island is BEAUTIFUL!!!

wishuhvn said:

Damn, wishuhvn...you beat me to it!! Prince, please, please, please stop into Hawaii on the way to Japan!!!

And wishuhvn was not exagerrating, folks. Journey played here a little while ago & the reaction was as if the freakin' Beatles got back together!

bkw said:

oh lawd,man i am so psyched now..here comes $200au 4 joining NPGMC & stuff,but it will so be worth it,i cant wait now just hope its not the same date as Bon Jovi at Rumba in December,i cant be at 2 places at once lets hope it all works out

nude512 where did u get those dates from ?

I find it hard to believe is playing Budokan - that place has a capacity of about 10,000, I thought this was a small venue intimate tour ???

I'll believe it when I see it ...

sorry 4 the ignorant question but do we have to join prince's music club to see him if he comes to Australia?

ashkaan said:

no, you only have to join the club if you want front row seats at his shows... and access to the soundchecks, free admission to aftershows, free cd's etc...

bkw said:

... I cannot wait any longer!!! ... life is too short to be patient, especially for Prince!

FunkyStrange said:

didn't i say that???

Joshy84au said:

Sweets... I don't care if it's the same day as Rumba... there is NO WAY you're going to see Bon Jovi over Prince... it's just not gonna happen ...

Diva said:

Too right Diva.

bkw said:

well i have alreday paid like $95 for the Rumba ticket...i guess i would sell them & go 2 wherever Prince is.

Joshy84au said:

That's a little different. $95.00 isalot to throw away. You could probably hock them though

What is the chance of prince coming to australia? How much would the tickets b about? Any idea? When would he b coming? (straight after his european tour maybe?)
