Immerse yourself in a night of dazzling music, glowing candlelight and pure purple magic. This is more than just a concert - it’s a heartfelt celebration of one of the greatest musical icons of all time. Surrounded by a warm, flickering glow, you’ll be swept into Prince’s world of unforgettable melodies, irresistible grooves and electrifying stage presence.

A full live band, accompanied by four powerhouse vocalists, will take you on a journey through his greatest hits. Sing along to anthems like Purple Rain, When Doves Cry, Kiss, and 1999. Feel the energy of Little Red Corvette and Let’s Go Crazy. Get lost in the joy of Raspberry Beret and the tenderness of The Most Beautiful Girl in the World. And just when you think the night can’t get any better - there’s more!
