Today, Prince headed to Harlem to the iconic Apollo Theater to announce the Welcome To America tour which will be kicking off this December. Though he was mum on details like dates and tour stops, the 52 year-old singer/songwriter told the crowd that ‘Welcome to America’ will showcase some of his favorite artists including Maceo Parker, Janelle Monae, Mint Condition, Esperanza Spalding, Cassandra Wilson, Lalah Hathaway and Sheila E. It set to kick off in December this year. The Minnesota native also confirmed that he and the New Power Generation would also perform nightly alongside featured acts.
“If you’ve been to one of my shows, then you know what time it is. You need to come early and come often because every time we play it’s always something new. I got a lot of hits. Bring friends, bring children, and bring foot spray because it’s gonna be funky.”
