The Police add Atlantic City to tour plans
Though there's been no official confirmation, all signs point to The Police setting up a fall leg to their hot-selling reunion tour, which kicks off later this month, and now includes a November performance in Atlantic City, NJ.
The Nov. 3 show at Atlantic City's Boardwalk Hall is the second November date that the band has rolled out, and follows a massive summer run that stretches from late May through early August. Details are included below.
Tickets for the Atlantic City gig will hit the box office May 26, according to the tour's official website, and members of the band's fan club will get an early shot starting May 23. More information is available at the site.
As previously reported, rock trio Fiction Plane --fronted by Joe Sumner, son of Police singer/bassist Sting--will hold down the tour's opening slot. The group's new album, "Left Side of the Brain," is due in stores next Tuesday (5/22).
The upcoming tour is The Police's first in more than 20 years. Animosity among the members--Sting, Andy Summers and Stewart Copeland--caused them to go their separate ways following a 1984 tour to support their last studio album, "Synchronicity." The five-time Grammy-winning band did manage a one-night reunion when they were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2003.
