If you’re heading along to catch Sting on his STING 3.0 run, this is the setlist you’re walking into.
Sting came up fronting The Police, writing sharp, slightly off-centre pop songs that didn’t sound like anything else on radio at the time.
Then instead of coasting on that, he pivoted into a solo career that pulled in jazz, world music and softer, more introspective songwriting – and somehow made that work on a massive scale.
His setlist is a pretty generous sweep of the catalogue – heavy on The Police classics, with the key solo cuts folded in – all played in that tighter, three-piece format.
‘Every Breath You Take,’ ‘Fields of Gold,’ ‘Roxanne’ – they’ve soundtracked enough lives at this point that people keep coming back.
Plus it keeps things moving, trims the excess, and lets the songs do what they’ve always done best live.

The “3.0” Vibe: Since this is a trio (Sting on bass, Dominic Miller on guitar, and Chris Maas on drums), the arrangements are a bit rockier and less “orchestral” than his previous My Songs tour.
After wrapping up his current run through the Southern US – including stops across Texas, Georgia and the Carolinas – the trio heads to Europe for a packed summer stretch, before returning to North America for a series of more intimate theatre shows.
If you’re eyeing tickets for the Brooklyn or Vancouver dates, don’t sit on it. These fall shows lean into smaller theatre venues rather than arenas, which means they tend to move quickly once they’re on sale.
