20 Apr Prince To Tour Europe; Dates Announced
Prince performs at Grand Palais in Paris, Oct. 2009
Europe1.fr announced today that Prince will play a concert at the Citadel of Arras, France on July 9.
The press release mentions that this is one of the dates that Prince has scheduled for Europe this year. The other concerts will be in Belgium and Denmark with the Roskilde Festival just being announced as well. Denmark date looks to be July 4 (still confirming); Belgium date is July 10th, Werchter Boutique.
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.
Arras is a 2000 year-old city located in the Nord-Pas-de-Calais region of Frances. The Citadel where Prince will perform was built in the 17th century. He sure is keeping it interesting with this cool choice of venue. – Dr.FB

Posted at 06:26h, 02 JuneThe date looms closer and that “album” has yet to drop. No suprize there. He had been spending the past several years releasing older worn out crap. Maybe this one will go in Prince’s Piggy Bank.

Posted at 04:05h, 14 MayHave you seen Prince lately? He looks like a deadman. Reminds me of something out of the bible or a zombie movie. I guess it’s his choice. Will he be well enough to play with no energy?

Posted at 10:10h, 29 AprilOfficial in the sense of press release sent out, tickets sold, and all that. American artists tend to drag their feet when it comes to officially promoting shows overseas. The only exception was when Prince held a press conference a few years ago to promote the 21 Nights In London Show. This is only a handful of shows compared to that.
There has been no confirmation and also no denial, which is usual protocol with American artists and shows overseas.

Posted at 09:57h, 29 AprilHey Doc, how official is this information? People are worried that this might be another ‘Croke Park’

Posted at 06:58h, 21 AprilAs someone on the Org said there wont be “member” tkts available thru the now dormant Lotusflow3r site, least not for Roskilde. U2 fans were bitching that they should have had a quantity of tkts set aside for them to purchase thru their official member site. Festivals don’t work like that. You can only buy thru the festival site page. Sorry for rambling on 🙂

Posted at 22:40h, 20 AprilThanks for the news! The Citadel venue is pretty kinky if you ask me 😉

Posted at 16:17h, 20 AprilHere’s a chance for Lotus Flow3r to redeem itself by offering it’s members some pre-sale tickets.

Posted at 13:59h, 20 AprilWhat’s he gonna play, the Vikings Superbowl theme? He has nothing to tour on other than his own greed and people’s obsessions. Oooops… Did I just say that out loud?
Thanks for the info Doc!
