The site reports that Prince performed with a 22-piece band under a huge tent, which was set up in the Hyde Park neighborhood. In a previous report by DNAInfo Chicago, crews reportedly built the 100,000 air-conditioned tent to cover a newly-constructed platform, as well as a $60,000 lighting rig. The platform was reportedly going to be torn down July 4, and the couple's lavish affair required special permits to raise the temporary structure at the park.
