Re-formed Police announce world tour

Monday, 12 February 2007

The Police are re-forming for a world tour 23 years after splitting up, the band finally confirmed today.

The 80s group, who marked their return to the stage with a rendition of breakthrough hit Roxanne at last night's Grammy Awards, will play their first date in Vancouver at the end of May.

Other North American shows will include a headline performance at the Bonnaroo Festival near Nashville, an appearance at Boston's historic Fenway Park and two dates at New York's Madison Square Garden.

The tour will continue in the autumn in the UK and Europe, including appearances in Holland, Germany, Italy and France, with more countries to be announced.

``We're going to come clean,'' Sting told reporters at a press conference in Los Angeles.

``We're going to go on tour.''

Tickets for the North American dates will cost between $50 and $225.
