Wendy & Lisa Tease The Revolution’s ‘Purple Rain’ 40th Anniversary Show – And When Their Album With Annie Lennox Is Coming


Wendy & Lisa tease The Revolution's 'Purple Rain' 40th anniversary show at First Avenue as part of Celebration 2024.

On Friday (June 21), The Revolution – Wendy, Lisa, Bobby Z., Brownmark and Dr. Fink – return to First Avenue, the iconic Minneapolis venue where the musical sequences of Purple Rain were shot, to perform that beloved classic. Ahead of this pinch-me concert, Wendy Melvoin and Lisa Coleman spoke to Billboard about what to expect at Celebration 2024 and their memories of making the movie in the freezing Minnesota winter. The song was recorded to be filmed — “Computer Blue” is however many minutes long and we know exactly how that’s gonna look timewise with all the cameras and the performance [in the movie].
