Prince fans, you might want to take a seat for this one…The Revolution are back! Following Prince’s untimely demise in April 2016, The Revolution reunited for a few shows at First Avenue in Minneapolis, and they promised to take the show on the road in some form in 2017. Today, The Revolution announced a four-date mini tour that will take them to Chicago, Washington D.C., New York City, and Philadelphia in late April.
The Revolution were Prince’s band during the peak of his career, contributing to Purple Rain as well as Around the World In a Day and Parade, and partially on 1999. The lineup, consisting of drummer Bobby Z (Aka Robert Rivkin), bassist Brownmark (aka Mark Brown), guitarist Wendy Melvoin, and keyboardists Matt Fink and Lisa Coleman, will also bring their talents to Prince’s Paisley Park complex for a three-day festival called Celebration 2017.
