Celebration, the annual gathering of Prince fans (or “fams,” as he called them), is returning to Paisley Park and venues throughout Minneapolis on June 20-24, 2024. Celebration 2024 coincides with the 40th anniversary of Purple Rain, and will feature Purple Rain-themed programming throughout the weekend. In partnership with First Avenue, Paisley Park presents The Revolution – Wendy, Lisa, Bobby Z, Brownmark, and Dr. Fink – performing in honor of the 40th anniversary of Purple Rain. The historic concerts will take place at the legendary First Avenue in Minneapolis on Friday, June 21, and Saturday, June 22 during Celebration. Morris Day (Prince’s on-screen Purple Rain nemesis), New Power Generation, and many more are set to perform during the festivities. 

“We are excited to have the Revolution return to Minneapolis to celebrate Prince and the 40th Anniversary of Purple Rain! Along with Morris Day, we will celebrate Prince and his iconic history! Join us and Let’s Go Crazy!,” said Bobby Z, Drummer of The Revolution.

L Londell McMillan added, “We continue to celebrate the enduring legacy of one of the greatest works ever created, Purple Rain, 40 years later. Celebration 2024 marks the beginning of a year-long series of events honoring Prince and his magnum opus.”

The weekend will be jam-packed with exciting activities, such as an all-day block party in downtown Minneapolis on Saturday, June 22nd. There will also be conversations and themed panels, DJ dance parties, screenings of HD films from the Purple Rain era, and additional surprises to come. The celebration will maintain its tradition of spotlighting emerging talent through the New Artist Showcases, in line with Prince's vision of nurturing new and young artists.
