In April, "Doctor" Matt Fink and Mark "BrownMark" Brown, members of Prince's illustrious '80s band, The Revolution, said they hoped to play Atlanta, but were unsure of a date.

It took seven months of planning, but The Revolution is officially headed to the Tabernacle.

The band – Fink, Brown (who recently relocated to the Atlanta-area), drummer Bobby Z, keyboardist Lisa Coleman and guitarist Wendy Melvoin – will perform at 8 p.m. Feb. 24.

Tickets will go on sale at 10 a.m. Nov. 9 via www.ticketmaster.com (a pre-sale starts at 10 a.mm. Nov. 8 with the code BEATS) for $35-$65. Floor tickets are general admission and all balconies are reserved seating.

In April, The Revolution performed at Celebration 2017 at Paisley Park to commemorate the first anniversary of Prince's death.
