Prince announces Leeds show plus three other around the UK
Edit EDIT 01/05/2014 18:40 We can see now all standing tickets are £65 + booking, there are generally three price bands for seats with the top ones being £125. There is no inner pit, its just general standing from all we have seen.
EDIT 30/4/14 14:40: We are seeing some tickets are priced at £125, we aren't sure at the moment what category these tickets are and if they are anything other than general admission ones. Chances are they are premium inner pit ones...
Prince has announced a return to the UK, after his series of February guerilla gigs in London and Manchester sparked wild excitement.
These new shows are definitely going to feed speculation that he is set to be announced as the final headliner at Glastonbury. Glastonbury founder Michael Eavis, however, has said the final headliner will be “one of the biggest bands in the world at the moment”. Depends if Prince is defined as a band, the clever money is probably on Fleetwood Mac. Unfortunately.
Prince remains unpredictable however. His February shows – accompanied by an massive interview in Mojo magazine – were supposed to be promotion for the release of Prince’s new album, Plectrum Electrum. Yet there has been no sign of the record, despite it being announced more than a year ago.
These exclusive arena shows with 3RDEYEGIRL in Birmingham, Manchester, Glasgow and Leeds are his first since his sold out residency at The O2 London in 2007.
This will be the first time Prince has ever performed in Leeds and is also the first time Prince has headlined a show in Birmingham and Glasgow in 19 years. His Manchester show follows two nights at the Academy in February.
Tickets for all shows go on sale Friday and are priced at £65 plus booking.
