Prince to Hold Rally 4 Peace Concert in Baltimore This Weekend

orThis weekend Prince will hold a special concert in Baltimore, where he will share a new song he has dedicated to Charm City.

The “Rally 4 Peace” concert will be Sunday, May 10, at Royal Farms Arena. Tickets will go on sale at 5 p.m. Wednesday, and a portion of the proceeds will benefit Baltimore youth organizations, according to Rolling Stone.

Prince and the female band 3rdEyeGirl will perform at the arena.

During the show, Prince is anticipated to play “Baltimore,” a song he debuted in the aftermath of the Baltimore riots.

The song is a “tribute to all of the people of the city of Baltimore,” according to Billboard.

Prince played ”Baltimore” last week during a private show at his soundstage in Minnesota, according to the Fox affiliate there, which reported the song concluded with a “tear-evoking electric guitar solo” and included the lyrics: “For Michael Brown or Freddie Gray, peace is more than the absence of war.”

Freddie Gray, 25, died in the custody of Baltimore Police April 19 from a severe spinal cord injury, according to officials. His death is under investigation, and six officers have been charged.

Michael Brown, 18, was shot by a police officer in Ferguson, Mo., on Aug. 9, 2014. The officer was not charged.

Both incidents were followed by looting and riots.

Prince’s new song is a response to the “unrest in Baltimore” and “socio/political issues around the country” after what he said was “a slew of killings of young black men,” a spokesperson for Prince told USA Today.

Tickets for the Rally 4 Peace in Baltimore will go on sale at 5 p.m. Wednesday on Ticketmaster.

Several “industry superstars” will be in attendance, according to NBC News.

The Mother’s Day concert in Baltimore comes the week after Prince held a May 2 dance rally at his studio in the Minnesota, where he asked attendees to wear gray. The dance rally was dedicated to the people of Baltimore and Freddie Gray, according to Entertainment Weekly. He did not play “Baltimore” at the dance rally. However, the event ended with a chant led by Prince that said “Baltimore, peace forever more,” Rolling Stone reported.

At the May 9 show in Baltimore, people are asked to wear Gray in recognition of those lost to violence.
