 The Police have unveiled dates for late summer/early fall European
tour, beginning Aug. 29 in Stockholm. So far, 13 shows are confirmed,
although additional dates in Italy, Switzerland, Belgium, and Denmark
are pending, according to the band's Web site.
In Europe, the Police will play a mix of indoor arenas
and outdoor stadiums. Some tickets begin going on sale tomorrow (March
6) via the band's fan club.
This leg of the tour will follow the instantly
sold-out North American run that begins May 28 in Vancouver. After
Europe, the Police will return to North America for more shows.
In addition, fans got a taste of which songs the group has been
rehearsing via a set list photo printed alongside an interview in
yesterday's Sunday Times. Beyond usual suspects such as "Every Breath
You Take," "Driven To Tears," "Message in a Bottle" and "Roxanne" are
oddities such as "Deathwish," "Rehumanize Yourself," "Shadows in the
Rain" and "One World."
The list also includes "Spirits in the Material World"
and "Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic," two giant hits that the
group often ignored in a live setting.
Here are the Police's European tour dates:
- Aug. 29: Stockholm (Globe)
- Sept. 4: Birmingham, England (NIA)
- Sept. 8: London (Twickenham Stadium)
- Sept. 11: Hamburg (AOL Arena)
