Sting Adds Fall 2026 Dates To “STING 3.0” North American Tour

Following a series of sold-out shows and rave reviews across Europe, North America, Asia, Africa, South America, and beyond, 17-time GRAMMY Award winner STING has announced a new fall leg of his acclaimed “STING 3.0” Tour across North America, presented by the Cherrytree Music Company and Live Nation.
Accompanied by longtime guitarist and collaborator Dominic Miller and dynamic drummer Chris Maas (Mumford & Sons, Maggie Rogers), the trio delivers a powerful and intimate concert experience, reinterpreting Sting’s most celebrated songs and deep cuts through the lens of a tight three-piece arrangement.
The newly announced 2026 dates will begin in Vancouver, BC, with a two-night run at Queen Elizabeth Theatre on October 5th and 6th before continuing through Seattle, Minneapolis, Rockford, St. Louis, Indianapolis, Montreal, Akron, Cincinnati, Wallingford, Brooklyn, and Tampa, with performances in Nashville and Pittsburgh to be announced soon. These additional shows include a special six-night mini residency with special guest Fiction Plane at the historic Brooklyn Paramount, the newly reopened 1928 venue that once hosted legendary artists like Ella Fitzgerald, Duke Ellington, and Miles Davis. Full itinerary and ticketing information is included below.
A groundbreaking artist both as a solo performer and as the frontman/bassist and principal songwriter for The Police, Sting continues to redefine and expand his musical horizons. Under the management of Martin Kierszenbaum/Cherrytree Music Company, his innovative spirit remains central to the “STING 3.0” Tour, which spotlights new creative interpretations of his timeless catalog and inspired his latest single, “I Wrote Your Name (Upon My Heart)” — mixed by four-time GRAMMY Award-winning engineer Robert Orton, released on Cherrytree Music Company/Interscope Records. Additionally, a new live album, STING 3.0 LIVE, is now available digitally, on CD and on 180g vinyl. Also recorded on the “STING 3.0” Tour, STING 3.0 LIVE is a collection of his greatest hits, including “Be Still My Beating Heart,” which has never-before been released as a live version. The 10-song digital album also features a live recording of “Fragile,” Sting’s 1987 single, which was recently covered by a children’s choir in an episode of the Netflix miniseries Adolescence.
Members of Sting’s Fan Club will have first access to tickets beginning Tuesday, March 3 at sting.com, with additional presales throughout the week. The general on sale will begin Friday, March 6 at 10AM local time on sting.com. Tickets for all other previously announced “STING 3.0” tour dates are available now.

Young Miko Announces the ‘Late Checkout Tour’
GRAMMY®-nominated global artist Young Miko announces her “Late Checkout Tour.” The 31-date tour will span 11 countries, marking her most ambitious tour to date, the first time Young Miko will embark on an arena tour, and aligning with the defining moment she is experiencing in her career. Promoted by Live Nation, the tour kicks off July 3 at Roskilde Festival in Denmark, launching a European festival run before she heads to Mexico for a major stretch in September. From there, she will close out the year across key U.S. markets including Miami, Atlanta, Houston, Orlando, New York, and Los Angeles, marking her most expansive international routing to date. See full routing and ticketing information below.
The announcement arrives at a time when Young Miko has firmly established herself at the forefront of global music. Her sophomore album “Do Not Disturb” debuted at No. 3 on Spotify’s Top Albums Debut USA and No. 4 globally, while also landing on Billboard’s Top Latin Albums chart. Standout track “WASSUP” achieved global viral success and earned a spot on prestigious year-end lists, including Rolling Stone’s 100 Best Songs of 2025, while “Likey Likey” continues to resonate with audiences worldwide. That growing cultural impact was further recognized at the 37th Annual GLAAD Media Awards, where she was honored with Outstanding Music Artist.
Fans first got a taste of Young Miko’s arena presence last year when she joined Billie Eilish’s HIT ME HARD AND SOFT TOUR as an opening act for eight select dates in key markets including Orlando, Philadelphia, and New York. Shortly after, she made her arena headlining debut in her native Puerto Rico, announcing her first-ever headline show at the iconic Coliseo de Puerto Rico. The show sold out in just 90 minutes, leading to a second date being added, with both nights selling out. Beyond music, she has expanded her cultural impact in meaningful ways, most recently partnering with GAP for the brand’s “Sweats Like This” campaign. As the face of its first-ever Spanish-language campaign and the first openly queer Latina to star in a GAP campaign. With each milestone, Young Miko continues to shape the sound, style, and direction of a new generation, solidifying her role as one of the most influential voices in global music today.
