Fans will also receive exclusive access to the “Purple Rain” singer’s vault of unreleased recordings and performances.
In addition, Celebration 2023 will feature celebrity panel discussions of Prince’s life and career—looking at his relationship with Hip-Hop, the significance of the number “7” in his work, and the passionate voices and “fams” who are preserving Prince’s legacy.
Maintaining the event’s tradition, attendees will be split into two tracks, “Diamond” and “Pearl,” to allow for intimate experiences throughout Prince’s legendary complex.
