Prince To Opt For Smaller Venues On Up And Coming UK Tour?
Wednesday, 01 May 2013

American singer-songwriter Prince may be set to hit small venues when he tours the UK, according to reports.
Prince, who’s on the verge of releasing what will be his 35th studio album, is one of the world’s biggest musical stars, and usually performs to crowds in their thousands - last year he entertained over half a million UK fans with 21 shows at London’s O2.
But, according to The Sun, he’s looking at pencilling in some gigs at much smaller venues this year, following his intimate, 300-capacity gig for the SXSW Festival earlier this year.
A source told the paper:
“Prince has gone back to basics this year, playing in front of 300 people at the SXSW festival in Texas. He’s now on a US tour of small club shows and wants to do something similar in the UK later in the year. It’s still to be decided if he’ll stay at one small venue and play 20 or more gigs or split his time between a few places around the country. Prince has asked his team to find unusual venues his fans wouldn’t expect him to play.”
Nothing official has been said as of yet, so you’ll have to stick with us to find out where and when Prince will be performing this year. Are you excited for a tour announcement? Let us know in the comment section below.
