Join us for one final tour as NEW PURPLE CELEBRATION celebrates the music, life, and legacy of Prince.

Described in the press as “nothing short of a huge party,” this is a non-stop, hit-packed, two-hour live show. Expect to hear all the classics from one of the most loved artists of all time:
1999, Little Red Corvette, Purple Rain, Kiss, Diamonds and Pearls, U Got The Look, When Doves Cry, Cream, I Wanna Be Your Lover and many more.

Formed in 2004, NEW PURPLE CELEBRATION has toured extensively across the UK and Europe, always capturing the true essence of a Prince show – high energy, wall-to-wall music, and an experience that keeps crowds on their feet.

Fronted by founder-member Jimi Love and backed by a powerhouse lineup of top-quality musicians, this is a totally live gig. Guitars, keys, horns, drums, and vocals – all performed without a single backing track. It’s the real deal from start to finish.

This is more than a tribute. It’s a celebration. Don’t miss your chance to party like it’s 1999… one last time.
