The 10th Anniversary Prince Celebration brought thousands of fans from around the world to Minneapolis and Paisley Park from June 3–7, 2026, honoring a decade since Prince’s passing with five days of music, community, and remembrance.
One of the event’s biggest announcements was Timeless, a new Prince Estate and Legacy Recordings release arriving August 28. The collection features 10 rare and previously unreleased recordings spanning Prince’s career. Attendees received an exclusive first listen during special sessions at Paisley Park, while the project’s lead single, “Stone” — a previously unreleased 1995 recording — was also unveiled.
A major highlight was the Prince Celebration of Life 10th Anniversary Concert at The Armory, where members of The Revolution and The New Power Generation reunited onstage. The historic performance also featured Morris Day, Miguel, Tevin Campbell, Bilal, Kat Graham, Liv Warfield, Ashley Támar, The Twins, and others.
“Ten years after Prince’s transition, his spirit continues to unite people from every corner of the world through music, creativity, love and community,” said Prince’s former attorney, manager, producer of Prince Celebration, and owner and publisher of The Source, L. Londell McMillan.
“This year’s Celebration was a powerful reminder that Prince’s legacy is not only preserved, it continues to grow with supporters from all generations.”
The week included a kickoff party at First Avenue with Chaka Khan, Club 3121 hosted by DJ Rashida, wellness programming, and a special panel where Morris Day received the Prince Legacy Award. Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey proclaimed June 1–7 as Prince Celebration Week.
The festivities concluded with a free downtown block party and the inaugural Prince Sing-Along at the city’s iconic Prince mural, featuring surprise appearances including Sheila E., along with CeeLo Green, Meli’sa Morgan, Liv Warfield, and local artists.
Additional programming featured conversations with Bootsy Collins and Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis, rare concert screenings, exclusive Vault presentations, and the debut of the new Paisley Park mobile app.
