Sting [ tickets ] and Annie Lennox [ tickets ] will pair up to tour North American amphitheaters and arenas this summer, visiting well over 40 cities between late June and mid-October.

Sting is currently touring the North American theater circuit behind his latest album, "Sacred Love." The outing opened in late January, and dates are set through mid-March.

"Sacred Love," Sting's 10th album, arrived in stores last September. The collection, which is the follow-up to 1999's "Brand New Day," features guest appearances from Vincente Amigo, Anoushaka Shankar and Mary J. Blige.

Lennox, who came to stardom as a member of Eurythmics, won Oscar and Golden Globe awards this year for "Into the West," a song from the film "Lord of the Rings: Return of the King." Her latest album, last year's "Bare," also picked up a Grammy nomination. "Bare" marked Lennox's first collection of self-penned solo material in more than a decade.

According to a press release, American Express cardholders will be able to purchase tickets before the public on-sale in each city. More information is available at the American Express website.

Members of Sting's official fan club can also buy tickets before the public on-sale; details are available at Sting's website.
