Prince at the Grand Palais

Prince performed two concerts last night Sunday – at 5pm, in daylight, and at 10pm after sunset – in the Grand Palais, the magnificent glass-roofed exhibition hall built for the Exposition Universelle of 1900. It’s the first time he’s performed in Paris since 2002. Prince decided to perform the concert on Tuesday, after attending Chanel’s show for Fashion Week (with Lily Allen performing live), and on Wednesday the concerts were confirmed. The two times 5,500 tickets sold out in just 77 minutes on Friday morning.
