The STING 3.0 World Tour launched in Europe this summer and recently kicked off its North American leg to rave reviews:
Known for his groundbreaking work as a solo artist and as the front man and songwriter in the seminal group The Police, Sting, managed by Martín Kierszenbaum/Cherrytree Music Company, has consistently pushed the boundaries of musical innovation throughout his illustrious career.
The "STING 3.0" Tour represents a new dynamic era showcasing selections from his vast catalog through the urgent lens of a tight three-piece combo and inspired his new song, "I Wrote Your Name (Upon My Heart)" mixed by four-time Grammy Award-winning mix engineer Robert Orton released on September 5 on Cherrytree Music Company/Interscope Records.
The headline concerts are part of an ongoing partnership with Lincolnshire County Council and Live Nation promoters Cuffe and Taylor to bring world class artists to perform in this outstanding historic location.
