About

Named in 2011 as one of the 100 most influential people in the world by Time magazine, Sting remains one of music’s major players, touring and recording at a prolific rate. Inspired by a musical he penned by the same name, Sting released his 11th solo album, The Last Ship, in September, 2013. The musical, a telling of the demise of the shipbuilding industry in Sting’s hometown of Wallsall, UK, opens on Broadway in 2014.

Singer/songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, world music aficionado, activist, actor, and philanthropist, Sting has worn a multitude of hats over a career that goes all the way back to the early ‘70s. While known as the voice, songwriter, and bassist for the phenomenally successful band The Police, it is as a solo artist that the breadth of his talents have truly shone. From his beginnings as a brash punk rocker, Sting evolved into an artist who incorporated everything from jazz to reggae to classical. His 1985 release, Dream of the Blue Turtles, set the tone for his metamorphosis as a solo artist and was notable for his use of renowned jazz musicians within a pop rock setting.

Sting was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2003 as a member of the Police, and has won a total of 16 Grammy Awards for his work with the band and as a soloist. Add to that three Brit Awards, a Golden Globe, Emmy Award, and several Oscar nominations and one begin to understand the scope of his popularity. Always a crowd pleaser in a concert setting, ticket sales for Sting shows are strong across the globe. Over the course of their career, Sting has played many famous venues, like Bank of New Hampshire Pavilion and Madison Square Garden.

    STING.....An unbelieveable talent!!!

    by Bellisima on 7/21/09The MGM Grand at Foxwoods - Mashantucket

    The concert was AMAZING!! STING was such a great performer and with such on stage charisma it was fantastic. An iconic figure, so humbling on stage....what a great being. My absolute favorite moment was when STING received a note from the audience;he clearly stated he usually does not do which read that it was the birthday of one of his oldest fans in the audience, who turned 87 on the day of the show. Sting sang her a personalized Happy Birthday, and played a song for her. Simply..Unforgetable :)

    Sting Rocks

    by FireMaiden on 7/21/09The MGM Grand at Foxwoods - Mashantucket

    Once again, Sting put on an excellent show for a packed house at the MGM Grand at Foxwoods in CT. With only a "basic" band (including the excellent Dominic Miller on guitar), Sting proved once again that he can play to massive stadiums or smaller venues without losing a step. Great vocals and wide choice of songs... including the old standards like Message in a Bottle and Roxanne, to some that I haven't heard him play in concert for quite some time, like Shape of My Heart. I'd got to see Sting play almost anywhere, but I would definitely go see him at this venue again.

    STING steams!

    by cjk1205 on 7/21/09The MGM Grand at Foxwoods - Mashantucket

    My husband and I are late 50 somethings and we were so thrilled to see STING after all these years. He sounds great, and looks fantastic! The audience, who mostly consisted of people our age, loved him. He is a fantastic musician and we could tell, a really great guy.... it was great.

    Stingalingdingdong has still got it!

    by Carma on 7/20/09The MGM Grand at Foxwoods - Mashantucket

    When an artist does not have an album to sell it is a guarantee to be the best show! Sting proved this last night, just jammin' and playing his heart out. And to have Sting sing Happy Birthday to what is most likely his oldest fan (in the audience) and 89 year old woman was just so much fun. This was my 6th Sting concert and by far it was his best!

    Sting was good, great showman

    by peter48 on 7/20/09The MGM Grand at Foxwoods - Mashantucket

    In Mezzanine for this show, saw Jackson Browne downstairs a few nights earlier. Very big difference in sound between the 2 areas. I am sure the distance has something to do with it, but I would have expected acoustics to be pretty similar when building a venue like this. Also, ushers very annoying going after what we assumed were people using cell phones for recording or whatever. USHERS WERE MORE ANNOYING THAN THE PATRONS. WENT UP AND DOWN ROWS TO WARN PEOPLE.

    sting at MGM

    by prisoner on 7/20/09The MGM Grand at Foxwoods - Mashantucket

    The concert should have been a little longer for the price of the tickets. A little more excitment from the audience would have been nice, seemed like most people with good seats were comp seats and didnt really care to be there.

    Sting Rocked

    by Simpg on 7/20/09The MGM Grand at Foxwoods - Mashantucket

    Sting showed that he could still rock the house and play "muscle" music with the best of them. He truly is a consummate musician. Able to play classical lute, then switch to a Police tour then back to his solo work. The band was extremely tight and weaved in and out of Police and Sting songs effortlessly. Dominic Miller, David Sancious and Josh Freese sounded like they enjoyed themselves and kept the intensity level high and powerful. I didn't need to work out this morning since Sting and the band made me jump, shout and dance to every song they played. Thanks Sting I had a great evening and will treasure the memory of the show for a long time to come.

    Sting at MGM grand

    by MoperDave on 7/20/09The MGM Grand at Foxwoods - Mashantucket

    I'd never seen Sting or the Police and I can say he did not disappoint. Amazing musician, and adding a great touch of his own style to previous hits. 2 encores, a great night.
