Jon Bream scoops the NPGMC with another date for the celebration. Now, the question is, did Billy just get two dates or is there still a third date as promised (but maybe not at the Xcel Engergy Center? This is important because I want to know if I need to stay over Sunday night for the big finale to the week! Anyway, we should all be used to getting information piece by piece like this...

Prince to play Xcel Energy Center next month

Star Tribune

Tuesday, May 15, 2001
A week after his 43rd birthday, Prince will celebrate with concerts June 15 and 16 at Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul.

Tickets -- from $31.50 to $86.50 plus fees -- will go on sale Saturday at Ticketmaster outlets.

These will be Prince's first hometown arena concerts since December 1997 at Target Center. He celebrated his birthday last year with tours of Paisley Park Studios and a concert at Northrop Auditorium.
