AN EVENING WITH THE REVOLUTION – THREE NIGHTS AT FIRST AVENUE – MAINROOM, MINNEAPOLIS

“With profound loss and apocalyptic grief, we, along with the world, mourned Prince upon the news of his passing. After seeing the response outside of First Avenue and around the rest of the world’s monuments, we, as The Revolution – Wendy, Lisa, Brownmark, Dr. Fink, and Bobby Z -­‐ have decided to pay tribute to Prince at home in the city of Minneapolis.” -­The Revolution

Following recent speculation about The Revolution reuniting, the band has announced two shows in the First Avenue Mainroom on Friday, September 2 and Saturday, September 3. Joined by Dez Dickerson and André Cymone, the line-­‐up consists of key players and collaborators from Prince’s most formative years, through the global phenomenon of Purple Rain and beyond.

“When we first spoke to The Revolution, and the conversation turned to a possible reunion, it only seemed natural to bring them to First Avenue -­‐ to bring them home,” says First Avenue’s General Manager, Nate Kranz.
