Wow. Sounds like this will be huge. That new stadium holds a lot of people. Can't wait to hear who will be performing and how to get tickets. Thanks for the info!

If they're holding it at US Bank stadium then they must have gotten some A-list artists to commit. It says artists are going to be announced on a rolling basis. I wonder if that means they're still securing artists and don't have a final lineup? Or just want to build anticipation by not announcing all at once?

I am so getting tickets! biggrin

I feel like this is going to turn into one of those things where I don't get a ticket because people buy up 50 at a time neutral I'm gonna try though. Still salty about the Revolution shows. Me and my mom were both trying to buy tickets at the same time and still didn't get them.

Hopefully with it being a huge stadium vs tiny First ave will help. At least I am hoping it will.

According to the StarTribune this is news to some former band members of Prince. And US Bank stadium could not confirm the date. Though it is a bye week in the Vikings schedule. They didn't name any names. Also they speculate it might be sets performed by his different band lineups with different singers added to the mix. Seems like speculation on the StarTribune's part. I think they could sell out the stadium no matter what but it would be a lot easier to do if they were able to score some big name artists. Also would help in getting it on TV if that's something they're thinking about. In my opinion I don't think they would have chosen US Bank stadium if they didn't have a few big names lined up.
