Prince tours

We don’t practice. We rehearse. Practice is what you do at home.

Ever wondered when Prince toured, what he performed and the venues he played. And how his experiences on one tour moulded the next, and who played in his bands? Prince left nothing to chance, in addition to meticulously rehearsing his bands, he methodically sound checked each venue by sitting in every seat section himself to ensure the sound and the experience was perfect.

Explore the entire list of the thirty identifiable tours Prince staged throughout his forty year career. Starting with his debut tour and going right through to his last. Discover the trivia, background, typical set list and encores Prince performed, and the touring schedules, including every aftershow.
