Please post here if you know of any worth seeing Prince tribute bands in the UK or other parts of the world. Would be very interested to find out.

Many thanks in advance!

Has anyone been to see these people before?

Great, thanks, (doesn't seem to be much footage of them on youtube though).

Have you seen them before?

Thank you

Based on their promo videos, the Purple Xperience sound amazing. The singer is obviously nothing like Prince (which could be a bit hard for some) but he - and the band - sound good and he actually reminds me a little of Robert Smith from the Cure, which I guess, is not a bad thing for me personnally (I can adapt). Wouldn't mind seeing them, but they don't appear to be touring at the moment. I think they are just hired on request... It will also be great when the Revolution start touring... http://time.com/4309374/p...ute-shows/

I loved seeing Purple Reign in Las Vegas:

I can't believe these guys were on Letterman once, but yeah they seem good. Just makes me miss Prince a lot more though.

Thanks to all for posting, keep them coming!

Can't offer you a band I'm afraid but if you're based in the UK it might be worth keeping an eye on Tribfest. They tend to get the better tribute acts in and I wouldn't be surprised if they try and get a Prince tribute for the VIP stage (they have done this aready with Bowie)

Cool, thanks for the tip, I'll keep an eye on it

Yes! They are great live and lovely people too. Dale makes a great Prince.

They are playing in Bolton this Saturday, I'm going seeing them

But if it's too far for you they are playing various dates around the country you could try getting to.

I've heard of Purple Rain too, another UK tribute but I've never seen them live so can't vouch for them.

I saw them in Vegas, actually puts on a pretty good show. Very energetic.

purple reign is top notch, so good that prince didn't even try to remove their covers of his songs, at least it looked that way.

The Breakdown here in Houston, Texas is very good. The lead singer kills it, as does the lead guitarist.

they're playing here on June 4th for the Party For Like-Minded People a/k/a the annual Prince party. I'll publish info in the Fan Gatherings forum, now that everything's open again.

Thanks everyone, would be nice to have some links to see some you have mentioned in action, if that's available.
