Prince has been confirmed as the first act, and subsequent main headliner for next year’s New Orleans Essence Music Festival in July.
Whilst little is known about the rest of Prince’s diary, it should be noted that the event runs one weekend post the UK’s iconic Glastonbury Festival, and whilst the headliners are currently shrouded in mystery, it’s exciting to hear that Prince (one of the heavily-rumoured artists for Glastonbury), is gearing up a band for the festival circuit.
So far, Lily Allen and the Stanton Warriors are the only confirmed acts for the June 2013 festival, with Arcade Fire strongly suggesting an appearance.
