Internationally acclaimed artist Sting - composer, singer-songwriter and former frontman of The Police - has sold over 100 million albums and won 17 Grammy Awards throughout his career.

Sting continues “STING 3.0 World Tour” in 2026, a global tour that reimagines his greatest hits and rarities through the energy of a powerful trio which includes UNTOLD Festival. Joined by longtime guitarist Dominic Miller and drummer Chris Maas, he delivers an intense, stripped-down performance revisiting classics such as Roxanne, Fields of Gold, and Englishman in New York, as well as new material like his latest single, “I Wrote Your Name (Upon My Heart)”.
Known for his groundbreaking work as a solo artist and as the frontman and songwriter in the seminal group The Police, Sting has consistently pushed the boundaries of musical innovation throughout his illustrious career. The "STING 3.0" Tour represents a new dynamic era showcasing selections from his vast catalog through the urgent lens of a tight three-piece combo and inspired his new song, “I Wrote Your Name (Upon My Heart)” - mixed by 4-time Grammy Award-winning mix engineer Robert Orton- released on Cherrytree Music Company/Interscope Records.
Additionally, a new live album, STING 3.0 LIVE, is now available digitally, on CD and on 180g vinyl. Also recorded on the acclaimed “STING 3.0” World Tour, STING 3.0 LIVE is a collection of his greatest hits, including “Be Still My Beating Heart,” which has never-before been released as a live version. The 10-song digital album also features a live recording of “Fragile,” Sting’s 1987 single, which was recently covered by a children’s choir in an episode of the Netflix miniseries Adolescence.
World tour has had several swift sellouts and kicked off to rave reviews:
“It was the kind of night - world-class performers, and performance, in an intimate space - that gets talked about for years.” (Oakland Press)
“Sting blends charisma, intellect and sonic sophistication on this tour.” (USA Today)
“[Sting’s] voice is as strong as ever, he’s still one of the greatest bassists of all time, and he’s a consummate performer.” (Consequence)
“…a level of cool craftsmanship and stage presence that is both admirable and mesmerizing.” (The Atlanta Journal-Constitution)
