Sting has announced an Australian tour for February 2023, returning for his first shows here in seven years. The former Police front person will play eight shows, including a handful of A Day on the Green events, with support from Joe Sumner. The run of dates will kick off in Perth on Friday, 10th February at Kings Park & Botanic Garden, followed by arena shows in Sydney, Adelaide and Melbourne.
The four A Day on the Green shows will take place at wineries in the Hunter Valley, Mount Cotton, Geelong and Bowral. For these, the lineup will feature not just Sting and Sumner but also Australian Crawl‘s James Reyne. Tickets for all shows go on sale this Friday, 16th September, with Sting fan club, Live Nation and A Day on the Green pre-sales all commencing earlier in the week.
Sting – ‘Shape of My Heart’
Sting’s upcoming Australian shows mark his first visit since a joint run with Paul Simon back in 2015 (plus a one-off performance at the AFL Grand Final the following year.)
The run of dates come as part of his ‘My Songs’ world tour, which sees him playing a retrospective set that draws from all corners of his back catalogue, both with the Police and as a solo artist. So, you can expect to hear the likes of ‘Message in a Bottle’, ‘Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic’, ‘Every Breath You Take’, ‘Roxanne’, ‘Shape of My Heart’, ‘Englishman in New York’ and more.
UPDATE 19/09/2022: Second Perth show added to meet demand.
