Well I also saw today that Londell's daughter was performing today so might just be that? neutral

I feel like Stevie is the most widely respected possible guest and would ensure that this tribute sells out.

here is an article about Prince day at the MN State Fair. I am tired of musical tributes but it sounds like the dj event was good; better than listening to other musicians play P music.

Been lurking for a while but first time post. Take it easy on me eek I am very discouraged about the lack of information coming out about the tribute concert. I feel somewhat manipulated as the message coming from the camp seems to be "There's going to be a huge celebration with lots of great performers that you don't want to miss but...we won't tell you who is coming, announce ticket prices or give info until the last minute. By the way, while you're waiting, go ahead and drop a couple of hundred on Paisley Park tours, that aren't refundable, should the concert line up be a bust or the City of Chanhassen doesn't approve our request." I know Prince operated with concerts on the fly. The aura of mystery and surprise worked for him because you always knew money and spent on THE man's performances was never wasted. I can't believe the estate would expect us to just take their word that something great is going to happen...eventually...even though US Bank Stadium doesn't have them booked and no artists have mentioned appearing. Does anyone, particularly you local residents, have any reliable knowledge on when there will be information released?

They might be refundable but you'd probably have to contact them.

all I know is, tickets go on sale in august, so I will only start getting concerned on Tuesday wink

maybe they are looking at sales statistics of the PP tours to decide how to best configure pricing for the tribute concert

Something BIG is coming soon. :D

Best to not base your plans on hints and guesses, you'll be disappointed.

Official press releases are based on the most accurate information available at the time.

I know I'm excited.

Might just be the best place on the planet to be on October 13, 2016.

I'm guessing that's coming from the rumor story in rolling stone a month or so ago.

Thank you. Who is the official spokesperson at this time in regard to what is going on regarding all things Prince? It would be nice if there were someone specific named, or even a Facebook page or a website that we can check or get email from...or is there already one? I know about the officialPaisleyPark page.

Ya'll might want to hit up MinneapolisFunk or if you every visit the chatroom he's in and out of there regularlly. I know he is working to get a food drive sometime during the time frame of the week of tribute and is trying to get it worked out to be set up outside the gates of PP. I do not know all the details or progress but he wanted to do that because he said Prince did stuff like that.

Here is a link to his profile where you can send him an orgnote http://prince.org/profile...apolisFunk

I don't think he posts very often but especially in the evenings he's usually found in the chatroom here on the org or late nights as well. He is a native and current resident of Minneapolis Area. He was raised up in that area. I will shoot him an email to ask him to make a thread.

That's awesome. What a wonderful thing to help others as Prince would have wanted while we celebrate his life and legacy. I love this. People will for sure be in a giving mood, at least I would hope so. I hope he can make that happen.

I can't wait, all of this is a Once In A Lifetime Event. Im happy and excited to come and see and do everything and meet everyone but I'm sad too. I wish Prince was alive and going to be there and it still be a Tribute to him and we could see and experience his response to all of our love for him, I know he will still feel all of our love and tribute where he is in his Purple afterlife. But one could dream.

Press releases are still the preferred method until an official outlet is selected. All other mentions of the family tribute may be misleading.

I deperately hope you know something that I don't. Right now its hard for me to imagine anything better than The Revolution Show at First Ave. with Apollonia 6, Andre C., Dez D. and Questlove doing the afterparty. It's August 29th and we're still waiting for info.....

I am not a local MPLS/MN fan, but a fan from WV. I will be flying to MN on 10/10 and staying until 10/15. I have already made flight and hotel arrangements. I am so excited about this trip. I just wish I was coming to see Prince instead of a tribute to him. I am so upset about his death. I really appreciate this site. It's helping me stay up to date on what to expect once I get there and providing me with other information and activities to take in while I'm there. I'm now anxiously waiting for tickets to start selling. I think attending his movies is an outstanding idea and would be more than willing to pay. I'll keep watching this site for any more updates on what the Prince Fan Community will be scheduling! Thank you and I would love to meet any of you! smile



So excited to see a fellow WV orger on here rwhiting! What city are you from? I too am planning on coming for the tribute concert (if I'm able to get a ticket). I booked my tour for Paisley Park for that Friday and definitely want to see the movies Wednesday night, assuming I can still get a flight in early enough. I was waiting to book my flight and hotel based on if I could get a concert ticket or not, but if I don't hear anything soon I may just bite the bullet and book it anyhow. Between the movies ForeverPaisley so kindly set up for the orgers and visiting Paisley Park, the trip would probably still be well worth it, concert tickets or not. I'm a little apprehensive as I have never been to Minneapolis and will be coming alone, but I want to spend some time around other people who I know enjoy P's music as much as I do and who have been affected by his passing as much as, and I'm sure in many cases more than I have. I would love for First Ave to have some sort of Prince themed dance party that Friday night like they are having for the Revolution after shows this weekend. With the way the tribute concert announcements are dragging out, I'm more excited about the idea of a Prince tribute dance party more than the tribute concert...

I live in Weston, WV and will be flying out of Clarksburg, WV to Dulles Washington DC, to Minneapolis on 10/10 and flying back home on 10/15. I'm trying to reach out to anyone who would like to be a tour guide. We (My Mom and I) have never been there and with a limited time, there is so much to try to take in. My name is Robin (nickname Rockin' Robin). I also decided to go ahead and make there arrangements and take everything in that I could, concert or not!! Hope to meet you!
