The Music of Prince at Tramshed, Cardiff – Saturday 17 January 2026
By The Riff Report

Cardiff fam, get ready to party like it’s 1999… for the last time! 😭💔

After 21 phenomenal funk-fuelled years, New Purple Celebration – The Music of Prince is taking its final bow, and they’ve saved a lush farewell for the Welsh capital. On Saturday 17th January 2026, the Tramshed in Cardiff will transform into a purple paradise for one last unforgettable night.

🎤 Who Are New Purple Celebration?

They’re THE definitive tribute to Prince, and no, we’re not just throwing that term around lightly. We’re talking about an electrifying, full-band experience that celebrates every era of the Purple One’s iconic career — from the Minneapolis funk beginnings to the glittery glam and guitar god greatness.

With live horns, blistering solos, and soulful vocals, they’ve become the go-to experience for Prince fans who want to dance, cry, scream “Darling Nikki” at full volume, and remember one of the greatest artists of all time.

🕺 Why This Cardiff Show is So Special

Let’s be clear: this isn’t just another gig. It’s the final time New Purple Celebration will play Cardiff — and part of their final-ever tour. After two decades of lighting up stages across the UK and Europe, they’re calling it a day.

We know. We were tamping too. 💢 But instead of mourning, we’re grabbing our purple jackets, slipping on our lace gloves, and heading to the Tramshed for one final celebration of His Royal Badness. 🎸👑

🏟️ Why Tramshed?

Because Tramshed is tidy, mun! 🤘
This 1,000-capacity venue is one of Cardiff’s best for up-close and personal gigs. The acoustics slap, the vibes are always high, and there’s nowhere else we’d rather say goodbye to this legendary tribute band.
