Prince will be performing in Europe this summer, this exclusive news came in today through Europe1.fr. The funk legend will appear at the Main Square Festival in Arras, France on July 9th for a 3h30 concert!
The organizers of the Main Square Festival are thrilled about the concert: “It is hard to hide how happy we are to welcome such a huge legend of music like him ! In order to perform a wonderful show as he use to do, PRINCE will play with 2 support acts, Mint Condition and Larry Graham (Graham Central Station). They will give to the audience a thrilling gig in the citadel of Arras, the wonderful area listed by the UNESCO.”
Before going to Arras, Prince will also perform at the Roskilde Festival (Denmark) on July 4th and at Werchter Boutique (Belgium) on July 10th.
"I've had to pinch myself many times since last night when everything fell into place. Getting Prince to Roskilde Festival has been on our wish list for years. He's not a frequent guest at festivals, so it's a great honour for us. It's wonderful finally to be able to tell this great news to our audience." said Roskilde's music director Rikke Øxner.
Tickets:
Tickets go on sale April 27 for the Arras show; prices are listed at 84 EUR ($113 USD) or 124 EUR ($167 USD). Tickets for Belgium go on sale April 22.
All I can say is Europe, you are so lucky! Not only is he going to perform, but he’s going to do it in one of the most beautiful citadels.
