The Police announced their first concert tour in decades Monday at a rehearsal at the Whisky a Go-Go as a throng of fans crowded
near the legendary Sunset Strip nightclub. The group, which led off Sunday night's Grammy Awards with a live performance,
broke up in 1984. Members Sting, Andy Summers and Stewart Copeland have since pursued individual careers.
The Police have made official what's become one of the worst-kept secrets in the music industry: the long-dormant trio
will reunite for the
Police tour later this year. "There's no reason why we shouldn't be 25 years better than we were then--and
we were good then," frontman Sting said during a Monday morning (2/12) press conference/rehearsal at The Whisky on West
Hollywood, CA's Sunset Strip. Set to launch May 28 in Vancouver, British Columbia, the North American portion of the outing
so far includes a mix of arena and stadium gigs, as well as a June 16 appearance at Tennessee's Bonnaroo festival.
The Police concert tickets will range from $55-$250 each.
