Prince is Playing South By SouthWest

http://www.hitfix.com/immaculate-noise/exclusive-prince-will-perform-at-sxsw

Prince is set to take the stage at the South By Southwest music conference for the first time. The Purple One is getting a specially remodeled stage at La Zona Rosa in downtown Austin, a source confirmed to HitFix.

The festival this year is already boasting music's biggest names like Yeah Yeah Yeahs, the Flaming Lips and Dave Grohl's Sound City Players, but Prince's concert will be bursting from its own seams with a 22-piece band. Prince hits the stage late Saturday night.

Furthermore, fest-goers should keep their eyes peeled for a certain awards show held during music festivities in Austin this week: His Royal Badness is slated as a "special guest" at the podium.

No word yet on how badge -holders or fans get access to the concert, stay tuned.

Jester, you got no excuse not to see Prince at SXSW. Prince is in Texas, playing Saturday night, backed by a 22 piece band. Seems like a run through for the West Coast shows, first time playing this event, plus he may be at some award show or conference speaking. Hope you finally get to see him live.

INDEED! I ain't making no excuses! smile THIS has to happen for me! Ain't no problem getting to Austin! But, the ticket Prince is the QUESTION Of YOU! Now, what is the answer to the question? A NICE PRICE TICKET! LOL

I am putting all my time and energy into this! Even if that means, cutting grass, and doing the work!

I say that in jest (no pun intended) but hopefully, you'll get to see him in concert once. if you can't see the SXSW gig.

Guess it gives him something to do while Andy is performing there, if of course it is true...

Dr F has also sent out a dubious blast saying Prince will be performing with Bruno Mars at SXSW.

Is that the only way to get into the show? You see the way my bank accountwork is all my money is in my savings account and my card is on my checking so it may not go through...

No, anyone can apply for SXSW. She's in two R&B showcase nights - one for a 5 min slot, the next for about 45 min slot. She doesn't seem to be headlining.

Edited for time corrections: * She has a 10 min slot & 40 min slot

I don't know. That is usually the way SXSW works, the music badge gets you into any/all music shows during that week. However, shows are usually announced ahead of time and put on the music schedule, which Prince is not on. So maybe there will be seperate tickets sold for his show.

I think if Prince and Bruno Mars play on the same night, Prince will shake Bruno's hands and keep it moving. If a fine ass female musician or singer was playing that night, Prince might consider performing a duet with her.
