Prince has resurfaced with a grand announcement at a mysterious news conference held earlier today at New York's famed Apollo Theater. "Welcome 2 America" is the title of his Live Nation concert series launching this December. The concerts will feature a number of his favorite artists including Janelle Monae, Mint Condition, Maceo Parker, Cassandra Wilson, and Sheila E. He implied that he would curate these shows, but there was no guarantee. It also wasn't clear on whether Prince himself will be performing as well. Further details are supposed to be unveiled in the coming days.

UPDATE: The first 5 tour dates have been announced! Go to http://promo.livenation.com/prince/?spotlight_ren_od=1&tm_link=tm_homeA_3_f1 for the official tour page. Looks like NJ/NYC are the entry points 2 America (get it? lol)...
