Though the performers are yet to be announced, the event will take place at Minneapolis’ US Bank Stadium on October 13th, with tickets on sale next month, according to Associated Press.

“We are excited for the opportunity to bring everyone together for the official family celebration of Prince’s life, music and legacy, and there is no better place to do it than his hometown of Minneapolis,” said Prince’s family in a statement. “We are honoured by the artists who will pay tribute and grateful to those that have worked so hard to make this celebration possible.”
