Essence has announced that PRINCE will be performing at their 20th Anniversary festival 4th of July Weekend in New Orleans in 2014!

In an official statement Essence had this to say about PRINCE headlining the festival:

To honor this momentous occasion, ESSENCE will partner with the legendary singer/songwriter for a special community initiative led by the Rebuild the Dream Innovation Fund, which encourages young people to harness the power of media and technology, and channel their creativity into computer coding.

Welcoming an artist as iconic as Prince back to the ESSENCE Festival for a 20th anniversary performance is incredibly exciting,” said ESSENCE Communications President, Michelle Ebanks. “The ESSENCE Festival is where we come together to connect to both our culture and our community, so we are pleased to support Prince and the Rebuild the Dream Innovation in advocating for our youth.”

“Rebuild The Dream” is run by Van Jones and Prince has worked with “Rebuild The Dream” most recently for his “Welcome 2 Chicago” tour of 2012.

Ticket packages for the entire festival range from $130.50 to $2,700.

SINGLE NIGHT tickets will be available closer to the Festival’s weekend.
