The Police add more dates, including Euro leg
The Police continue to flesh out their world tour with a newly announced leg of European stadium gigs and more shows added in the US.
The sales streak for the band's North American outing continued last weekend with additional sell-outs in Cleveland, Detroit, Philadelphia, St. Paul, MN, and Dallas, where a second show was added.
Following the sell-out of Los Angeles' Dodger Stadium, another show in that city was confirmed for June 20 at the Staples Center. Additional dates have also been added in Houston, Las Vegas, New Orleans, St. Louis, MO, and Tampa, FL.
The North American leg launches May 28 with two gigs in Vancouver, British Columbia. There are also multiple dates in Denver, Seattle, Toronto, Montreal, Boston and New York City. Details are below.
Fiction Plane (the rock band fronted by Sting's son, Joe Sumner) will open North American shows. The Foo Fighters will serve as special guest at the June 23 Los Angeles gig and Maroon 5 will appear at the July 10 performance in Miami.
The Police will kick off Euro shows August 29 in Stockholm and play dates in the UK, Germany, France, Holland, Austria, Spain, Italy, Belgium Denmark and Switzerland. The rock trio's first date in Birmingham, England, Sept. 4, will be its first live performance in the UK since New Years Eve 1983, according to a statement.
The European itinerary, which is expected to expand further, can be found at the group's website.
"The anticipation and excitement to see The Police is overwhelming," Arthur Fogel of tour promoter Live Nation said in a statement. "We are absolutely thrilled to be bringing the band to fans new and old."
The six-time Grammy-winning trio last toured together in 1984.
