Melbourne – every breath you take, every move you make, Sting will be watching you – from the big stage at our city’s very own Rod Laver Arena this February. Yep, this is not a drill. The man is coming to town, and we can barely contain ourselves.
After nearly seven years away from Australian shores, the great British crooner will be returning to good ol' Melbs for his critically acclaimed My Songs tour, a vibrant show featuring all of his best-known hits, including 'Englishman in New York', 'Roxanne', 'Message in a Bottle' and, of course, 'Every Breath You Take'.
Sting will be taking to the Melbourne stage for one special show on February 23 this year. He will be joined by a fairly epic electric rock ensemble and will have Joe Sumner as his opening act. You can expect to let loose to all your most beloved ballads, dance up a storm, and hail a living legend in real life.
This show is part of an Australia-wide Sting moment, with him kicking off the tour in Perth on February 11, then heading to Sydney and Adelaide, and ending it all here at Melbourne’s Rod Laver Arena. My Songs has been heralded by the British Guardian as “sublime pop alchemy” and sold out when performed in London’s Palladium over a six-night residency.
