Predictions for Celebration 2026

What's gonna happen this year? What new ways will Londell and Charles find to piss off the fanbase? Will the attendees' lives be changed forever by the experience of playing purple carnival games together in the Paisley Parking Lot?

Neversin's identity will finally be revealed as Londell invites him on stage to join-in telling fans how fucking horrible and ungrateful we all are.

Always cry 4 love, never cry 4 pain.

Could Neversin be one of his engineers?

Like Michael Koppelman?

It sounds like his attitude from time to time.

I remember his stories from years ago... would love to hear these back.

Gotta love that the Instagram stories of the official Paisley Park account on Instagram are mostly focused on selling Celebration merch.

Remember how the first itinerary of this year's Celebration included a drone show? See https://prince.org/msg/7/471920 . I just checked and that now appears to be gone.

My guess is that it is part of tomorrow's "Prince Night at the Twins Game" (additional ticket required).

it would be nice if someone could record the "londell talks about the vault" panel with their apple watch or something so we can actually hear what the fucker says instead of 50 people leaving the room and reporting different things

The report from last year on The Purple Stream was accurate - you can go back and check - the only confusion in what it reported related to the interchangeable use by different folks on the panel when discussing ATWIAD as ‘expanded’, ‘deluxe’ and ‘super deluxe’ versus what we all then took that to mean and what it manifested into in reality.

Alas our phones and Apple Watched all get locked away. This year they are even making us do that to enter the Merch shop at PP!

What do we know so far?

.

1. Merch. A lot of merch available everywhere you look.

2. A Vegas Rio show shown on a big screen

3. Chaka Khan show dissapointing. Her singing (or mostly backing singers singing) along to a prerecorded backing track.

Going by reports that seemed to be a kind of album launch thing? But I haven't seen any reports on that album reafuring any Prince input, so... this had nothing to do with celebrating Prince?

That’ll be her Chakzilla album due 18th September 2026.

LMAO.

Londell McMillan, a co-manager of the Prince estate, took the stage and hyped up the already fired-up crowd. But his heartfelt introduction of Khan became so long-winded that — surprise — she just strode onstage before he could finish talking. It was an awkward omen for a night that turned out to be, well, awkward and disappointing.
