The band which played, toured, wrote, and recorded with the legendary Prince are coming to London this August.

The New Power Generation performed as Prince’s backing band from 1990 to 2013. They were even described by his Purple Highness as ‘the best band ever’, performing on classics such as ‘Diamonds and Pearls’, ‘Gett Off’, and ‘Cream’.

Prince’s former musical director, Morris Hayes, is the NPG’s longest member. After having directed the official Prince concert in Minnesota in 2016, the public response was overwhelmingly in favour of replicating this tribute in cities around the world.

Fronting the NPG is lead singer Mackenzie. Raised in a religious household where Prince’s music was deemed taboo, Mackenzie wowed the NPG at his audition. According to Hayes, Mackenzie is a ‘a gifted and magnetic singer with amazing charisma that locks you into his performances immediately’.

The Celebrating Prince concert takes place on 2nd August 2018 at the indigo at the O2. Tickets are available here:
