Stingus.net/Livemusicblog.com reports Tour confirmed

Postby blueseattle on 12 Feb 2007 16:04

The Police 30th Anniversary reunion world tour will kick off May 28 at Vancouver's GM Place and travel through North America until early August 2007. The official tour announcement will be made this morning at legendary Sunset Strip club Whiskey A Go Go by singer-bassist Sting, 55, drummer Stewart Copeland, 54, and guitarist Andy Summers, 64.
Other Canadian dates are Edmonton on June 2 (venue TBA), Toronto's Air Canada Centre on July 22 and Montreal's Bell Centre on July 25. There is also a chance there will be multiple shows in some markets that sell out fast. The trek, The Police's first since 1984's Synchronity tour, will make its way through North American arenas and stadiums, although there are some specialized events on the schedule, until the first week of August before a break. From late-August until mid-October, the trio will play the U.K. and Europe, before returning to North America in late October and then travelling beyond to Mexico, South America, Japan, Australia and New Zealand.

In addition, following dates are also known:
7/28/07 - Fenway Park, Boston
8/1/07, 8/3/07 - Madison Square Garden, New York

In addition, we had 1000 visits per second the last few hours ... yes you read it correctly, so our servers went down :-). Everything should be back ok now.

Well I hope Chicago's confirmed too! Haha. I'm sorry, I had to post. This is all too exciting.

The Police to Headline Bonnaroo, Tour Dates Coming...
filed under: bonnaroo, news, the police
Billboard.com is reporting that The Police are indeed scheduled as one of the headliners (June 16) at the 2007 Bonnaroo Music Festival.

In what is destined to be an historic run, the Police will embark on their first tour in 23 years, beginning May 28 at the GM Arena in Vancouver, Billboard.com can exclusively reveal. As part of a tour that will play arenas and stadiums internationally through the end of the year, the band will also headline the June 16 date of the Bonnaroo festival in Manchester, Tenn.
We're expecting Fenway Park (confirmed) and Wrigley Field (unconfirmed) to be stops along this epic tour and we'll update with tour dates as soon as they're posted.

And in case you missed it, the trio played their classic "Roxanne" last night at the Grammys for the first performance since officially announcing their reunion.

I just read about Bonaroo. Thats not too far from me. Might be fun to pack up the VW camper and head down.
Especially if they don't come through St.Louis.
