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

Published

on

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.

Rising rock artist sombr is hitting the road in a big way this year. The newly announced You Are the Reason Tour spans 37 dates, bringing the singer to arenas and major festivals across North America through summer and fall.

The run begins with a handful of high-profile appearances in July, including stops in Mexico City, a set at Red Rocks Amphitheatre, and a performance at Lollapalooza. The full tour officially kicks off September 29 at Rogers Arena in Vancouver, marking the start of a packed fall schedule.

From there, sombr will move through major cities including Seattle, Portland, Los Angeles, Austin, Nashville, Chicago, Detroit, Toronto, Boston, and Philadelphia. The tour wraps November 23 with a final show at Madison Square Garden in New York.

The tour’s support lineup is just as notable. Artists like Interpol, King Princess, The Last Dinner Party, The Hellp, and Dove Cameron are set to appear across select dates, giving the tour a strong mix of indie, pop, and alternative energy.

Tickets roll out in stages. An artist presale begins April 14 at 10 a.m. local time, followed by additional presales, including a Spotify offering on April 16. General ticket sales open April 17 at 10 a.m. local time through Ticketmaster. Fans can also look to StubHub, where resale tickets are backed by the platform’s FanProtect guarantee, though prices may vary depending on demand.
