Unreleased songs that will be presented to the public will be connected with the number 7.
Prince's annual Paisley Park gathering 'Celebration' returns with the promise of offering audiences yet another treasure trove of unreleased music from the iconic artist's archive.
The event is scheduled to take place this year from June 8 to 11.
According to a related announcement, this year's Celebration will host performances and discussions with Public Enemy's Chuck D, Chaka Khan, as well as DJs D-Nice and Doug E. Fresh.
It will also feature performances from Minnesota gospel bands Sounds of Blackness and The Steeles.
Additionally, the event will feature Stokley of Mint Condition, DJ Rashina, members of Prince's band NPG, vocalist and solo artist Shelby J, and Minneapolis youth choir Known MPLS.
The gathering at Prince's famous mansion in Chanhassen, Minnesota also includes a Prince Legacy Tribute show honoring Rosie Gaines, one of the founding members of the New Power Generation (NPG).
But perhaps the best part for all die-hard Prince fans is the annual opportunity to gain exclusive access to the singer's archive of unreleased songs and live recordings.
Visitors will, as usual, be split into two groups, 'Diamond' and 'Pearl', for their personal tours of the 6,000 square meter complex.
So far, the organizers of the event have not revealed which recordings from Prince's legendary archive will be presented to the public for the first time.
However, they said this year's theme is linked to the number 7, which was very important to Prince as he was born on June 7, 1958.
Prince often referred to the number, including in the song "7" from his 1992 album "Love Symbol".
"This year marks 7 years of highlighting Prince's legacy and carefully preserving his rich artistic output and creative haven," reads a statement.
"At Celebration 2023, guests will take a deep dive into understanding the cultural significance of the '7' and how it has been reflected throughout history," it said, without divulging further details.
