Questlove Will Curate ‘Symphonic Celebration of Prince’ Tour
Questlove has some major plans in store for this fall season. The artist is reportedly gearing up to curate a national tribute tour for Prince. The tour, which is officially called 4U: A Symphonic Celebration of Prince, will reportedly feature live band and vocal performances of the icon’s greatest hits.
The tour will reportedly kick off on Sept. 6, at the State Theatre in New Brunswick, New Jersey. It will also make stops in major cities including Dallas, Chicago, Washington DC, Atlanta, and Orlando, before concluding on Oct. 21, at the Arvest Bank Theatre in Kansas City, Missouri.
4U: A Symphonic Celebration of Prince will be produced by Live Nation and has reportedly gotten approval from the singer’s estate. Prince estate will reportedly provide archived photos and videos for the shows. This is the first major tour the estate has approved. Prior to this schedule, they had been quite selective. The only events regarding Prince’s music and legacy were reportedly hosted at Paisley Park.
