Stevie Wonder set to headline Prince tribute concert in Minnesota this October

Stevie Wonder will headline a tribute concert for the late Prince in St Paul, Minnesota on October 13.

Others performing include Chaka Khan, Anita Baker, Christina Aguilera and members of Prince's musical entourage including Morris Day and the Time, Judith Hill, The New Power Generation and members of 3rdEyeGirl.

Tickets go on sale tomorrow (September 19). A handful of tickets will be priced at $19.99 in memory of Prince's '1999' hit.

The event was originally slated to be held at the new NFL Stadium in Minneapolis but Prince's family wished for the event to be held in a smaller venue, so it has been moved to the Xcel Energy Center in St Paul. The Xcel Energy Center's capacity is 20,000, whilst the NFL Stadium is over 65,000.

Prince's former lawyer who is managing his estate's entertainment assets has organised the event. L Londell McMillan told The Associated Press:

"For this kind of show, you want it to be intimate. You want it to be right."
