Bluesfest Touring presents

"Celebrating Prince: with his band THE NEW POWER GENERATION"

(USA)

with guest: DJ Eddie Mac

When Prince formed The NPG in 1990 they went on together to create 'Diamond & Pearls' a record that sparked more hits on the Billboard charts than any other Prince album released since Purple Rain. These included "Cream", "Gett Off" and of course "Diamond and Pearls".

Now Prince's hand-picked band of collaborators and friends are coming to Australia to CELEBRATE PRINCE in a funky, sexy night of Prince classics!

Morris Hayes (Prince's long-time musical director and NPG member) says of the sets: "This band has a huge repertoire, we have got a lot of music that we've learnt over the years and we're prepared to play whatever. We just want to make sure we touch on things that the crowd connects with and make them go 'oh that's my song! That's my jam'."

It's a night not to be missed by any Prince fan, come celebrate and honour the life and times with the friends and musicians who knew him best.
