The Sting setlist for “The Last Ship 2026 Tour” has been revealed. Sting is known for a more quiet, story-led style in his live shows, especially when he’s performing music from The Last Ship. His concerts don’t really chase big, loud moments all the time. Instead, they lean into the lyrics, the mood, and how each song connects to the next. That’s what gives the whole show a steady, almost reflective feel as it goes on. The 2026 tour is expected to follow that same approach, with the set built mainly around The Last Ship along with a few popular songs worked in.
What songs are on the Sting The Last Ship 2026 Tour Setlist?
The following is what Sting is expected to play in his setlist for the tour. This is based on the first few shows from the run and the songs that have been coming up most often in these early performances, along with how these sets have been put together recently. The main songs from The Last Ship seem to stay in place as the core of the show, while a few others move around depending on how he wants the night to unfold. That early pattern gives a good sense of how the set will most probably look across the rest of the tour. As always, this expected setlist is subject to change.
Set 1:
- Island of Souls
- And Yet
- Practical Arrangement
- Shipyard
- Ship of State
- If You Ever See Me Talking to a Sailor
- Language of Birds
- Dead Man’s Boots
- The Night the Pugilist Learned How to Dance
- The Last Ship
Set 2:
- What Have We Got
- It’s Not the Same Moon
- So to Speak
- What Say You, Meg?
- I Love Her but She Loves Someone Else
- The Last Ship
- Hadaway
- Ghost Story
- All This Time
- When We Dance
- Show Some Respect
- The Last Ship
Once the show gets going, some parts of the set can still shift depending on how everything is coming together on stage. The staging and visual side matter here, since lighting, scene changes, and transitions can make certain songs feel better in different spots. At the same time, Sting might also change the order himself if something else feels like it fits more naturally in that moment. These small changes don’t stand out too much, but they help the whole show feel smoother and more connected as it moves along.
The Last Ship 2026 Tour fits the kind of shows Sting has been doing in recent years. It leans more into storytelling and atmosphere instead of trying to keep the energy high all the time. Because of that, the songs tend to flow into each other in a way that feels calm and steady rather than dramatic. The more familiar tracks still come in at the right moments, but they don’t take over the set. Everything works together to keep the same mood going from start to finish.
