DJ Dave Paul (San Francisco) and DJ Marco (Philadelphia)

Show Starts

9PM

Ages

18+

Online sales have ended, but tickets will be available at the door.

The PR+MJ Experience with DJ Dave Paul (San Francisco) and DJ Marco (Philadelphia) return to Minneapolis for a fourth time. Album cuts, b-sides, un-released tracks, remixes, 12″ versions and hits from the two artists as well as songs by such ancillary acts as Sheila E., The Jackson 5, The Time and Janet Jackson.

Collectively, Prince and Michael Jackson helped define the early-’80s era of MTV, revolutionized both R&B and popular music, and influenced thousands of musicians worldwide. This dance party pays tribute to two of the greatest artists of our time. The music is far from the only thing happening at this party, there’s theme dancing, a face-off between guests repping The Purple One or The King of Pop, and much, much more. This is the perfect night out to lounge with your friends, make some new friends, and have the time of your life.

“For FIFTEEN years now, Dave Paul (proprietor of hip-hop label Bomb Records) has hosted and DJ’ed at the brilliant “Prince vs. Michael Jackson” parties. As selections of hits, rarities, and remixes from both artists are presented over the course of the evening, audience members square off in funky battle, holding signs bearing the mug of their favored entertainer to judge which one is the true king of pop. This sure ain’t the place for cynics, but Darling Nikki’s and Dirty Diana’s are all welcome to participate.” – SF WEEKLY
