Stevie Wonder and members of Prince’s inner circle will lead a family-sanctioned Prince tribute concert in St Paul, Minnesota on October 13th.
Prince’s family originally planned to hold the show at the new NFL stadium in his hometown of Minneapolis. However, organizers said that it will be at the smaller, 20,000 capacity Xcel Energy Center in St Paul. Tickets will go on sale on Monday, with some will cost $19.99 in tribute to Prince’s hit song.
The lineup also includes Christina Aguilera, Chaka Khan, John Mayer, Tori Kelly, Anita Baker, Doug E Fresh, Luke James, Bilal and Mint Condition. Prince’s inner circle will be represented by Morris Day and the Time, Judith Hill and Liv Warfield. The New Power Generation, led by Morris Hayes, as well as members of 3rdEyeGirl, also will perform.
“It’s an all-star mix of classic and new artists – Prince-inspired as well as Princefamily-type artists,” said organizer L Londell McMillan, a former lawyer for the late musician, now helping to manage his estate’s entertainment assets.
