Prince 2 Perform ‘2 Shows, 1 Nite’ At The 2009 Montreux Jazz Festival
The Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland announced that Prince has been added to the line-up this year to perform 2 Shows, 1 Night on July 18 … and within minutes of that announcement, tickets for both shows sold out completely. Well … not entirely … the official Twitter account for the festival announced that 200 tickets for the shows will be made available at 4PM on July 18 so, if you are so inclined, you have another shot at tix. Here is the Montreux Jazz Festival promo photo for Prince’s performance and some info about 2 Shows, 1 Nite:
“The Montreux Jazz Festival is going to be a little bit more funky this year as a musical genius is planning on taking the stage not once, but twice. The one and only Prince WILL be performing 2 shows at Montreux this year and he is bringing a musically talented band with him. Playing with Prince at the legendary festival will be Rhonda Smith, Renato Neto, and John Blackwell. In his 31 years in music, Prince has won every award imaginable from a Grammy to an Oscar to one of the youngest inductees ever into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame. He performed at the 2007 Super Bowl in the rain no less and still gave off the performance of a lifetime. In 2007, Prince gave a legendary performance at The Montreux Jazz Festival where tickets sold out in record time. So when ticket information and tickets become available this time, make sure to reserve your spot if you plan to attend.” Source: www.prince.org

The biger question…WHY has Prince not said ANYTHING (That I can find) about MJ’s death? There has to be a story there!

I’m surprised that you’d post about him after what he said concerning Prop 8.

@Max — I did blog about this a while ago, Prince claims he was misquoted.
