Almost 30 years since the release of The Police’s first major studio recording, Sting, Stewart Copeland and Andy Summers are back on the road for one of the most exciting and most talked about reunion tours in rock music history. Bursting into the pop-mainstream with their vibrant blend of piercing ska rhythms and eclectic balladry during the golden punk days of 1977, The Police have remained an integral part of the modern pop landscape despite not selling tickets for a live show since 1986.

The Police first hit the beat when London English teacher Gordon Sumner and California prog-rocker Stewart Copeland joined forces with guitarist Henry Padovani and began performing in local venues. After an independent single release and a personnel change to include The Animals guitarist Andy Summers, The Police released Outlandos d’Amour (featuring an initially unpopular single called "Roxanne") in 1978. The well-crafted pop hits and interesting mix of upbeat reggae guitar sounds and ethereal, angst-ridden vocals offered by The Police were proven globally popular by the success of 1979’s Regatta de Blanc and resulting world-wide tours. After releasing 4 studio albums in 4 years on A&M, the members of The Police were each pursuing solo projects by the time the eponymous smash Syncronicity was released in 1983.
