Questlove Curating Music On 4U: A Symphonic Celebration Of Prince Tour This Fall
Prince’s music is heading out on tour this fall through a new tour titled 4U: A Symphonic Celebration of Prince Music. It is a bit different from what people would have seen from the Purple One when he was alive, but the Prince Estate-approved tour will bring his songs to life with a full symphony orchestra, the Wolf Trap Orchestra, a live band and vocalists. To make it more authentic, Prince super fan, Questlove helped curate the setlist and orchestral arrangements.
It will play deep cuts and classic songs from his vast discography. The estate provided videos and photos for visuals.
The tour will kick off in New Jersey on September 6 and go all around the United States for the next six weeks eventually ending in Kansas City on October 21. Tickets are available on the tour’s website here.
