Prince last minute add to boost Coachella ticket sales

Just confirmed yesterday afternoon, Prince will be headlining day 2 of the Coachella Music Festival.  Prince joins Jack Johnson (headlining day 1) and Roger Waters (headlining day 3) in addition to a long list of great supporting acts.  This is exceptional, why? Well first of all it's Prince.  Secondly, he has not played a festival before and only has one other date he is playing in the foreseeable future.  That being a show in Dublin on June 16th.  Don't forget to grab your tickets, blankets, and a lot of water.  "I have a low tolerance for dehydration" "I have seen her dehydrate before sir, it's pretty gross" (name the movie quote)

Apparently, Prince played a secret show in Los Angeles Wednesday night at Green Door to a Hollywood VIP crowd. Some artist would call this a paid rehearsal. According to various sources, he was added to the Coachella line-up to boost ticket sales (hence the so late in the game add) due to the weak line up comparatively speaking.  Here is the kicker, he is getting paid nearly $5M.  Now thats what I call a boost in ticket sales.  I hope he can cover it.
