He took his “Welcome 2 America Tour” on the road just about one year ago, and now Prince is looking to extend the fun — and bring it to some new fans — with his “Welcome 2 Canada Tour,” which will begin later this month at the Air Canada Centre in Toronto on November 25 — 26.
The tour is fittingly named, as it will take Prince and his band, The New Power Generation, around different stops in Canada — 11 to be exact. Those stops though, will take him from coast to coast. The tour starts in Toronto and from there, Prince goes to the Maritimes so he can perform in Halifax. On his way back to the West coast, Prince will also make pit stops in Montreal, London, Winnipeg, and the nation’s capital, Ottawa. Out west he’ll visit major cities such as Saskatoon, Edmonton, Vancouver, and Victoria.
The tour is said to be very similar to the “Welcome 2 America” tour, with Prince performing some classic songs such as “Cream,” “Purple Rain” and “Raspberry Beret.” And, if you want to catch “Kiss,” perhaps Prince’s most notable songs, you’ll have to wait until the encore. It’s then that the song is generally performed, and you may even have to wait until the second encore — something that Prince loves to give his fans.
Tickets for the “Welcome 2 Canada Tour” go on sale this Friday and you can get them in a wide range of $25 Canadian dollars to $195 Canadian. And, to see if His Royal Badness is going to be in your hometown, you can find a full listing of Prince Tickets here.
