Prince fans will have the opportunity to hear Purple Reign play several Prince hits, including Little Red Corvette, When Doves Cry and Raspberry Beret. Tickets for the show are on sale now.
In a statement released by Rivers Casino, the venue commented about Purple Reign’s high-energy sets and the band’s dedication to embody Prince’s greatest hits.
The casino said: “Purple Reign captures the imagination and seamlessly recreates the blistering performances and raw energy of Prince in his prime and returns you to the era that made the artist an international superstar.”
The band will also offer up a tribute to Morris Day and The Time during the show.
