Having performed with the legendary artist Prince for more than two decades, The New Power Generation, a.k.a. The NPG, is undoubtedly one of the most successful and recognizable backing bands in the world. Following the acclaim from the October 2016 “Official Prince Tribute Concert” in Minnesota, the NPG decided to reunite to perform a series of concerts under the banner “Celebrating Prince”, celebrating the man and his music.
With an irresistible mix of “hits” (like the funky grooves of “1999”, “Gett Off” and “Sexy MF”, electro-rock anthems like “Let’s Go Crazy” and “Baby I’m a Star” and epic ballads like “Purple Rain” and “Nothing Compares 2 U”), combined with some of Prince’s most loved “deep cuts”, the former members of the NPG take the audience on a journey through the musical legacy of Prince.
As a token of their immense respect and admiration for the man and deeply rooted dedication to his huge body of work, the band celebrates Prince’s incredible creativity by playing all the songs exactly like they used to play them with Prince. This astounding show is an experience that enchants fans of all generations, who enjoy “real music by real musicians”.
