Fresh, Chaka Khan, Tori Kelly, Christina Aguilera, Luke James, Bilal, Mint Condition, and Purple Rain co-stars Morris Day and the Time, honoring the musical legacy of the Purple One. Members of Prince's bands New Power Generation and 3rd Eye Girl also will appear.

A slew of other performers are also confirmed to attend the star-studded event, including former Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger, Prince's ex-wife Mayte Garcia, Prince's former backup singer-dancers The Twinz, Portuguese Fado singer Ana Moura, saxophonist Michael Phillips, Prince's former bandmate and childhood best friend André Cymone, and former touring DJ for Prince and the New Power Generation, DJ Dudley.
