Sting Tickets

Last night at the Apollo Eventim in London, Sting delivered a truly unforgettable performance. His voice remains as rich and powerful as ever - full of warmth, soul, and precision. He had the audience completely captivated from start to finish, blending classics with new material that felt just as timeless. It wasn't just a concert; it was an experience of pure musical mastery. Sting reminded everyone exactly why he's one of the greatest performers of our time. ❤️X

Sting lit up the stage from the star surpassed expectations 5 Stars all the way. Sophie Grey was terrible, and an awful match to support Sting, more of a poor Eurovision style act.

As I get older, I've been deciding to go and see those artists that aren't on my "regular"hit list to see, partly because as they also age, there is also the lingering feeling of when is the last tour.. it was with this in mind, I bought tickets for this show, when I was younger i was a fan of Sting / The Police, thou not old enough to appreciate The Police at their peak.. Not really realising what to expect of Sting 3.0, except from the reviews I read were of a retreat back into a similar line up/staging to The Police (Drums/Bass/Guitar), with a generous smattering of Police tracks. So the show itself, well Kentish Town Forum is rather small, and if you arrive any time after doors, you often end up at the very back, pretty much next to the exit, so consider this, i was pretty much in this spot, although it isn't bad, as I could see everything, you do get the people who've gone to the gig to have a chat, as though its Eastenders rather than a live act on stage in the background. The show opened with Message In A Bottle, which was clearly a crowd pleaser, and over the next couple of hours there was a good mix of Police / Sting songs, with songs like Englishman In New York, and Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic, part of the early salvo of "hits"... Then there was a middle section of the show, which kinda slowed things down, and whilst this did include some songs I knew well, Wrapped Around Your Finger, When We Dance, it also included some songs I didn't, like Never Coming Home, and A Thousand Years, this is common with most artists, they buy a bunch of goodwill from the audience, and then use that on songs perhaps they know won't go down the same way.. there is a pervasive feeling in the crowd where I am that we're all tolerating these tunes to get back to the ones we want to hear.. Then like most artists of his generation, he knows how to win the audience back with songs like So Lonely, Can't Standing Losing You, Walking On The Moon, and of course Every Breath You Take, rounding out the main set.. The encore is just two songs, Roxanne (which expectedly goes down a storm) and Fragile. This show is well worth catching, even if you're a casual fan like me, however it would have been tighter / better either a) a shorter set dropping the lesser known tunes b) dropping the lesser known tunes for more of the upbeat ones - for example on the companion Sting 3.0 live CD, All This Time, and Synchronicity II both would have been welcomed here, in replacement of a couple of others, but equally, I'd have welcomed Russians/If You Love Someone Set Them Free as well.. So it's a four out of five, but the show could easily be five out of five with a couple of tweaks to the slower parts.

Sting's concert was atmospheric, everyone had a good time

Great performance, but the seating organization was lacking. More tickets were sold than the venue could accommodate (even on the balcony).

Superb performance by Sting and a great PA system on the night ,every note was clear ,excellent.

Brilliant performance from Sting and his band. The sound was fantastic in Cardiff Castle. You could hear every note of every instrument and Sting's voice was superb. The acoustics in Cardiff Castle were very good. One of the best sounding outdoor gigs in recent years. Very impressive.

We all know Sting is a phenomenal song writer but the guys he has playing with him are exceptional, drummer amazing but Dominic Miller on guitar, oh my. The sound from just 3 guys was incredible.

Great night, will definitely be going again now to see other bands. Plenty of food/drink stands. Prices reasonable too.

Sadly event appeared more of a money spinner for promoters and not entertainment for concert goers. Obviously packing in as many people as possible was the idea with no regard for enjoyment. The long trek for general admission unnecessary. Cardiff Castle a fabulous venue, but concert site was poor. Apart from paying extra for PVP, no seats available whatsoever - understand standing only in front of the stage area, but seats could have been provided elsewhere. Poor choice of eateries. Banning and confiscating small rain umbrellas for an outdoor event is ridiculous. The atmosphere was rather subdued and joyless. Attended Sting's previous concert at the castle which was brilliant, sadly this time we left before he came on, fed-up of just standing around.
