The secret's out: Prince will play a surprise concert in Baltimore on Sunday, with proceeds from the event going to youth charities based in the city.
The "Rally 4 Peace" concert will take place at Royal Farms Arena, and tickets will go on sale Wednesday at 5 p.m. Other major artists are set to join Prince and his band 3RDEYEGIRL, and it's expected he will debut the protest song he wrote last week, entitled "Baltimore." In a statement, organizers said they hope the concert will be a "catalyst for pause and reflection following the outpouring of violence that has gripped Baltimore and areas throughout the U.S.," and asked attendees to "wear something gray in tribute to all those recently lost in the violence."
